Current policies in the U.S. and other countries are trying to stimulate electric transportation deployment. Consequently, plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) adoption will presumably spread among vehicle users. With the increased diffusion of PEVs, lithium-ion batteries will also enter the market on...

This paper considers the integration of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in micro-grids. Extending a theoretical framework for mobile storage connection, the economic analysis here turns to the interactions of commuters and their driving behavior with office buildings. An illustrative example...

В статье уточняется определение оптимизации. Предлагается классификация основных методов оптимизации, используемых в экономике и менеджменте. Особое внимание...

In general, any activity requires a longer action often characterized by a degree of uncertainty, insecurity, in terms of size of the objective pursued. Because of the complexity of real economic systems, the stochastic dependencies between different variables and parameters considered, not all...

This paper proposes a new population-based simplex method for continuous function optimization. The proposed method, called Adaptive Population-based Simplex (APS), is inspired by the Low-Dimensional Simplex Evolution (LDSE) method. LDSE is a recent optimization method, which uses the reflection...

Purpose The objective of this paper is to propose a methodology based on random demand inventory models and dependence structures for a set of raw materials, referred to as “components”, used by food services that produce food rations referred to as “menus”. Design/methodology/approach...
