Two-Stage Stochastic Algorithm for System Cost-Reliability and Maintenance Optimization Considering Uncertain Future Usage Scenarios
This paper develops a two-stage stochastic cost-reliability optimization model for multi-component systems subjected to uncertain stress exposure which leads to uncertain component and system degradation and wear. Optimization models are used for making decisions of system configurations to be applied in different and occasional diverse future usage scenarios. Component reliability and cost dat...
متن کاملDiscounting an uncertain future
The objective of this paper is to determine the socially optimal discount rate for public investment projects that entail costs and benefits in the very long run. We suppose that there is an exogenous process for the growth of consumption per capita, which is stochastic. We first evaluate the determinants of the discount rate for a specific horizon when the representative agent has a recursive ...
متن کاملProbable Scenarios of Future Ethics
Life in today's global village has two ontological and epistemological aspects. One problem of the globalized world related to these two aspects, which will be discussed in this article first is the fact that the civilization of the globalized world has, in some ways, been disconnected from its culture, since civilization moves towards collectivism whereas culture moves towards ind...
متن کاملSaving for an uncertain future.
T he units that are subject to selection pressure in evolutionary biology are ‘‘strategies,’’ which are conditional actions (for example, do P if X occurs; otherwise do Q). In contrast, the units in economics (they are called ‘‘people’’) select strategies from available menus so as to further their projects and purposes. If evolutionary dynamics involves mindless competition among strategies, e...
متن کاملRationally discounting an uncertain future
J. Doyne Farmer & John Geanakoplos Assessing the relative value of a benefit (or harm) in the future vs. the present is a fundamental problem in economics1. The conventional approach is to discount the future exponentially. This can be motivated by the opportunity cost relative to an investment paying fixed interest2. In contrast, real interest rates vary randomly, so the resulting effective di...
