چکیده

Economics is a discipline in which there appears to be many opportunities for applications of time scales. The time scales approach will not only unify the standard discrete and continuous models in economics, but also, for example, allows for payments which arrive at unequally spaced points in time. We present a dynamic optimization problem from economics, construct a time scales model, and apply calculus of variations to derive a solution. Time scale calculus would allow exploration of a variety of situations in economics. c © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A Novel Approach to Trace Time-Domain Trajectories of Power Systems in Multiple Time Scales Based Flatness

This paper works on the concept of flatness and its practical application for the design of an optimal transient controller in a synchronous machine. The feedback linearization scheme of interest requires the generation of a flat output from which the feedback control law can easily be designed. Thus the computation of the flat output for reduced order model of the synchronous machine with simp...

An efficient method for cloud detection based on the feature-level fusion of Landsat-8 OLI spectral bands in deep convolutional neural network

Cloud segmentation is a critical pre-processing step for any multi-spectral satellite image application. In particular, disaster-related applications e.g., flood monitoring or rapid damage mapping, which are highly time and data-critical, require methods that produce accurate cloud masks in a short time while being able to adapt to large variations in the target domain (induced by atmospheric c...

The dilemma of Rationality or Providing Efficiency in Monetary Policy Making: An Application of Arrow’s

Financial frictions inducted in the model is a new contribution to monetary economics. Herein, an analytical tool arranges monetary policymaking in the form of two steps procedure. In the first step, an appropriate amount of money supply should be assessed; and in the second step, that appropriate amount should be allocated to several sectors. The Central Bank obligates the step of assessment a...

Higher-Order Calculus of Variations on Time Scales

Calculus of variations on time scales (we refer the reader to Section 2 for a brief introduction to time scales) has been introduced in 2004 in the papers by Bohner [2] and Hilscher and Zeidan [4], and seems to have many opportunities for application in economics [1]. In both works of Bohner and Hilscher&Zeidan, the Euler-Lagrange equation for the fundamental problem of the calculus of variatio...

Isoperimetric problems on time scales with nabla derivatives

We prove a necessary optimality condition for isoperimetric problems under nabla-differentiable curves. As a consequence, the recent results of [M.R. Caputo, A unified view of ostensibly disparate isoperimetric variational problems, Appl. Math. Lett. (2008), doi:10.1016/j.aml.2008.04.004], that put together seemingly dissimilar optimal control problems in economics and physics, are extended to ...
