Prevention of Waste and Seasonal Price Fluctuations Through Refrigeration

Exploiting market fluctuations and price volatility through feedback control

In this work, we explore how feedback control can be used to make chemical producers responsive to market forces through dynamic operating policies. Using a toy model of a marginal chemical producer, we examine two different control strategies for dealing with stochastic fluctuations in operating margins. These results provide a basis for exploring more complex control problems that include the...

Modeling Decentralized Price Fluctuations Through Agent-Based Recognition of Scarcity

Since the time of Leon Walras, general equilibrium theory and the hypothetical Walrasian auctioneer have dominated market economics. Prices of commodities are assumed to reach "true" equilibrium values based on the underlying supply and demand curves of an economy, which can be represented by equations. In contrast to classical methods, the model in this paper attempts to show the behavior of a...
