For simulation to be truly useful for investigating many problems in agricultural economics, non …-simplifying optimization techniques need to be employed. General methods for simulation optimization that do not inhibit system … economists. This paper describes the theory and algorithm of a robust and efficient simulation optimization approach, the Complex …

In this paper an attempt has been made to fit the Gielis curves (modified by various functions) to simulated data. The estimation has been done by two methods - the Classical Simulated Annealing (CSA) and the Particle Swarm (PS) methods - of global optimization. The Repulsive Particle Swarm...

These notes provide an intuitive introduction to dynamic programming. The first two Sections, which can be skipped, present the standard deterministic Ramsey model using the Lagrangian approach. Section 3 reformulates the Ramsey problem by means of a Bellman equation, while Section 4 shows how...
