Maintenance of light standards, a case-study

Dekker, Rommert; Meer, J. Robert van der; Plasmeijer, … - 1996

This paper discusses several strategies for the maintenance of light standards, where each light standard consists of n independent and identical lamps screwed on a chandelier. The lamps are subject to stochastic failures, and must be correctively replaced if the number of failed lamps reaches a...

Subsidizing the adoption of energy-saving technologies : analyzing the impact of uncertainty, learning and maturation

Groot, Henri L. F. de; Mulder, Peter; Soest, Daniël … - 2003

As part of the Kyoto Protocol, many countries have committed themselves tosubstantially reduce the emission of greenhouse gases within a politically imposed timeconstraint. Investment subsidies can be an important instrument to stimulate the adoption ofenergy-saving technologies to achieve...

The adoption of energy efficiency enhancing technologies

Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 1997

This paper analyses the adoption of energy-efficiency enhancing technologies by heterogeneous firms. The fact that energy use does not only cause external environmental costs through pollution, but also directly affects the profitability of the firm and hence its behaviour on input and output...

Computing integral solutions of complementarity problems

Laan, Gerard van der; Talman, Dolf; Yang, Zaifu - 2004

In this paper an algorithm is proposed to find an integral solution of (nonlinear) complementarity problems. The … algorithm starts with a nonnegative integral point and generates a unique sequence of adjacent integral simplices of varying … dimension. Conditions are stated under which the algorithm terminates with a simplex one of whose vertices is an integral …

Artificial collusion : examining supracompetitive pricing by Q-learning algorithms

Boer, Arnoud V. den; Meylahn, Janusz M.; Schinkel, … - 2022

We examine recent claims that a particular Q-learning algorithm used by competitors 'autonomously' and systematically … detailed analysis of the inner workings of this algorithm reveals that there is no immediate reason for alarm. We set out what … is needed to demonstrate the existence of a colluding price algorithm that does form a threat to competition. …

Enhancing regional resilience for energy price shocks : efficient gas use and upstream decarbonization

Nijs, Sacha J. den; Thissen, Mark - 2024

Resilience and competitiveness in relation to fossil energy dependencies is of increasing concern to industries and policy makers. We investigate to what extent the competitive position of industries in European regions are sensitive to changes in fossil fuel prices, and whether reductions in...
