in this paper mathematical extensions and generalizations of the pearl-reed model for'growth with saturation are discussed. the derived differential equation are of bernoulli and riccati type that owing to their special forms could be explicitely integrated resulting in closed form solutions. the asymptotic bahaviour of the system in each case is briefly examined and the results are compar...

The paradigm shift from centralized services into hundreds of thousands of decentralized services changes traffic directions and patterns in the Internet. In that light, overlay providers form logical communication topologies, which effect the underlying telcos’ as well as Internet Service Providers’ (ISP) traffic and network management. Thus, Economic Traffic Management (ETM) principles deal w...

Evolutionary games have considerable unrealized potential for modeling substantive economic issues. They promise richer predictions than orthodox game models but often require more extensive speci®cations. This paper exposits the speci®cation of evolutionary game models and classi®es the possible asymptotic behavior for one and two dimensional models.

Reviews linear break-even analysis as typically outlined in textbooks on managerial economics. It is claimed that a major shortcoming of these expositions is their failure to demonstrate in what circumstances linear break-even analysis is relevant for a business and in what circumstances it is inapplicable. This article helps rectify this situation. It points out that such analysis can not be a...
