The article demonstrates the usefulness of concepts and methods from systems theories for Organisational Behaviour (OB). Diagnosing development areas in OB, especially the analysis of whole systems and the degree of operationalisation and formalisation of core constructs and assumptions, the...

The commercial value added in electricity distribution networks and smart grids is increasing. Concerns about competition on a level-playing field are raised and the debate on vertical network unbundling is beginning to address the level of the distribution networks. With regard to the...

In the present scenario of all over the world like develops and undeveloped countries are fastly used Distributed Generations (DGs) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers in power systems for reactive power supports so that the overall power system performances...

In present time the power demand increases more rapidly in the power generation and transmission and distribution system sectors. For maintaining the power system stability and steady state operation of power systems causes from disturbance, faults and suddenly changing of the load, voltage...

We analyze optimal control problems for two-phase Navier-Stokes equations with surface tension. Based on Lp-maximal regularity of the underlying linear problem and recent well-posedness results of the problem for sufficiently small data we show the differentiability of the solution with respect...

We are concerned with the simulation and optimization of large-scale gas pipeline systems in an error-controlled environment. The gas flow dynamics is locally approximated by sufficiently accurate physical models taken from a hierarchy of decreasing complexity and varying over time. Feasible...

Hammerstein–Wiener models constitute a significant class of block-structured dynamic models, as they approximate process nonlinearities on the basis of input–output data without requiring identification of a full nonlinear process model. Optimization problems with Hammerstein–Wiener models...

This paper presents a unified theory of human capital with both health capital and, what we term, skill capital endogenously determined within the model. By considering joint investment in health capital and in skill capital, the model highlights similarities and differences in these two...

We study semigroups of convex monotone operators on spaces of continuous functions and their behaviour with respect to Γ-convergence. In contrast to the linear theory, the domain of the generator is, in general, not invariant under the semigroup. To overcome this issue, we consider different...

We propose and solve an optimal vaccination problem within a deterministic compartmental model of SIRS type: the immunized population can become susceptible again, e.g. because of a not complete immunization power of the vaccine. A social planner thus aims at reducing the number of susceptible...
