The System Resource Constraint Theory intends to research growth of economy under different classes of system resource constraint. By analogy between ecology system and economic system, from the angle of total nature resource, total supply ability and total market volume, the theory focuses on the constraint condition and development characteristic of economy as well as the various game charact...

The wave energy converter (WEC) control problem aims to make the best use of excitation maximize capture and ensure safe operation across a broad range sea states. This falls into recently developed economic model predictive (EMPC) framework, subject being treated as predictable additive disturbance in problem. However, there are few theoretical developments on EMPC theory that can be directly ...

Economic model predictive control (EMPC) has been a popular topic in the recent chemical process control literature due to its potential to improve process profit by operating a system in a time-varying manner. However, time-varying operation may cause excessive wear of the process components such as valves and pumps. To address this issue, input magnitude constraints and input rate-of-change c...

abstract. when a production facility is designed, there are various parameters affecting the number machines such as production capacity and reliability. it is often a tedious task to optimize different objectives simultaneously. the other issue is the uncertainty in many design parameters which makes it difficult to reach a desirable solution. in this paper, we present a new mathematical model...

We study the implications for optimal monetary policy when declining nominal wages is not a viable margin for adjustment to adverse economic conditions. To this end, we develop a New Keynesian model where downward nominal wage rigidity arises endogenously. We show that the optimal policy response to changing economic conditions is asymmetric. Another important finding is that downward nominal r...

In this paper, a displacement-constrained volume-minimizing topology optimization model is present for two-dimensional continuum problems. The new model is a generalization of the displacement-constrained volume-minimizing model developed by Yi and Sui [1] in which the displacement is constrained in the loading point. In the original model the displacement constraint was formulated as an equali...

Development of every society is incumbent upon energy sector’s technological and economic effectiveness. The electricity industry is a growing and needs to have a better performance to effectively cover the demand. The industry requires a balance between cost and efficiency through careful design and planning. In this paper, a two-stage stochastic programming model is presented for the design o...

Modeling and optimal solving of supply chain management problems lead to efficient decision making in strategic planning and supply chain operations, resulting in a competitive advantage. Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainab...
