Dynamic Information Design under Constrained Communication Rules

Multimedia design for communication of dynamic information

Constrained Dynamic Physical Database Design

Physical design has always been an important part of database administration. Today’s commercial database management systems offer physical design tools, which recommend a physical design for a given workload. However, these tools work only with static workloads and ignore the fact that workloads, and physical designs, may change over time. Research has now begun to focus on dynamic physical de...

Memory Design for Constrained Dynamic Optimization Problems

A proposal for a memory design is given that is suitable for solving constrained dynamic optimization problems by an evolutionary algorithm. Based on ideas from abstract memory, two schemes, blending and censoring, are introduced and tested. Using a new benchmark we show in numerical experiments that such a memory can improve solving certain types of constrained dynamic problems.

Dynamic Investment under Asymmetric Information

TAbstract T—This paper develops a tractable real options framework to analyze the effects of asymmetric information on firms' investment decisions when firms issue equity to finance investment. We assume that firm insiders exactly know the firms' growth prospects, but outside investors do not know. Our analysis shows that, under equity financing, the corporate insiders can signal their private ...

Distributed dynamic consensus under quantized communication data

Distributed dynamic average consensus is investigated under quantized communication data. We use a uniform quantizer with constant quantization step-size to deal with the saturation caused by the dynamic consensus error and propose a communication feedback-based distributed consensus protocol suitable for directed time-varying topologies to make the internal state of each agent’s encoder consis...
