Noncooperative Games for Autonomous Consumer Load Balancing Over Smart Grid. (August 2010) Tarun Agarwal, B.Tech., Indian Institute of Technology Madras Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shuguang (Robert) Cui Traditionally, most consumers of electricity pay for their consumption according to a fixed-rate. The few existing implementations of real time pricing have been restricted to large industr...

 An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  Online training of neuroline...

This paper describes how to evaluate a long-term fixed priced material procurement contract versus spot purchases. We model the long-term contract as a real option. In the financial world, option pricing is based on the assumption that the market is complete and frictionless. This assumption is usually too strong when it comes to pricing real options. For example, both the option and its underl...

Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...

In “Real-Time Spatial–Intertemporal Pricing and Relocation in a Ride-Hailing Network: Near-Optimal Policies The Value of Dynamic Pricing,” Chen, Lei, Jasin consider dynamic pricing problem faced by ride-hailing service provider who manages fixed number servers serves price-sensitive customers within network. Servers serve arriving relocating from the requested origins to destinations certain tr...

In deadline-based networks, the delay performance experienced by real-time data transfer largely depends on traffic deadlines and the load level along the data transfer path. To ensure fairness among users and to aid in network load control, a delay pricing and charging scheme was developed for realtime delivery in deadline-based networks; users experiencing different delay performance are char...

Traditional capital budgeting models cannot appropriately capture the value of IT-systems. Real Option Pricing Theory provides a useful economic perspective on the valuation of IT-systems, although no comprehensive review of the state of the art of real option pricing models for IT-investments has been published to date. This paper provides an overview of the applicability of real option theory...

in this paper, the competition between two supply chains and their elements is studied. each chain consisted of a manufacturer and a distributor and the two chains compete in a market with single type of customer sensitive to price and delivery time. therefore, this is a two-supply chain game and during the competition between two supply chains, elements of each supply chain (manufacturer and/o...
