Financial sector is one of the most influential sectors in economic activities. Empirical and theoretical studies conducted in recent years have also confirmed the significant role of financial institutions in economic growth. Additionally, trade and financial liberalization policies have been particular concerned with strategic policies in developed and developing countries. According to dynam...

This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization model (P1) that determines the optimal selection of parallel units considering the trade-off between the availability of a serial producing system and total investment costs. Model (P1) is solved through the constrained MINLP model (P1’) that maximizes system availability subject to a series of upper bounds of the total cost, which yields a set...

We discuss linear Ricardo models with a range of parameters. We show that the exact boundary of the region of equilibria of these models is obtained by solving a simple integer programming problem. We show that there is also an exact correspondence between many of the equilibria resulting from families of linear models and the multiple equilibria of economies of scale models.

The synthesis of control laws for interacting agent-based dynamics and their mean-field limit is studied. A linearization-based approach used the computation suboptimal feedback obtained from solution differential matrix Riccati equations. Quantification dynamic performance such leads to theoretical estimates on suitable linearization points nonlinear dynamics. Subsequently, are embedded into a...
