When is it Optimal to Exhaust a Resource in a Finite Time?

Farzin, Y. Hossein; Akao, Ken-Ichi - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

Exhaustion of a natural resource stock may be a rational choice for an individual and/or a community, even if a sustainable use for the resource is feasible and the resource users are farsighted and well informed on the ecosystem. We identify conditions under which it is optimal not to sustain...

Disjoint Paths Pair Computation Procedure for SDH/SONET Networks

Hassan, A. Mohammad; Altmann, Jorn - Technology Management, Economics and Policy Program … - 2013

The increasing demand for bandwidth and the error-prone, costly, and long-lasting service provisioning process force carriers to find new ways of automatic service provisioning. Despite the introduction of numerous path computation procedures, suitable for WDM-technology-based networks, very few...

Population evacuation analysis: considering dynamic population vulnerability distribution and disaster information dissemination

Zhang, Nan; Huang, Hong; Su, Boni; Zhang, Hui - In: Natural Hazards 69 (2013) 3, pp. 1629-1646

Knowing the dynamic population vulnerability distribution and having an efficient information dissemination of disaster warnings play a very important role in the developing of a population evacuation strategy. In this paper, the evacuation of populations in a densely populated area of Beijing...

Large Deviations Methods and the Join-the-Shortest-Queue Model

Ridder, Ad; Shwartz, Adam - 2005

We develop a methodology for studying ''large deviations type'' questions. Our approach does not require that the large deviations principle holds, and is thus applicable to a larg class of systems. We study a system of queues with exponential servers, which share an arrival stream. Arrivals are...

Optimal paths in dynamic networks with dependent random link travel times

Huang, He; Gao, Song - In: Transportation Research Part B: Methodological 46 (2012) 5, pp. 579-598

exponential, the number of the optimal path candidates is polynomial on two networks and grows exponentially in the third one …. Computational results in large networks and analytical results in a small network show that stochastic dependencies affect optimal … path finding in a stochastic network, and that the impact is closely related to the levels of correlation and risk attitude. …
