Research on Differential Pricing Method under a Special Nonlinear Supply Constraint

Optimal Design of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures Under a Stability Constraint

This paper suggests an optimization-based methodology for the design of minimum weight structures with kinematic nonlinear behavior. Attention is focused on three-dimensional reticulated structures idealized with beam elements under proportional static loadings. The algorithm used for optimization is based on a classical optimality criterion approach using an active-set strategy for extreme lim...

Responsive pricing under supply uncertainty

A numerical method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations based on Sinc-Galerkin method

In this paper, we consider two dimensional nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $ -{rm div}(a(u,nabla u)) = f $. Then, in order to solve these equations on rectangular domains, we propose a numerical method based on Sinc-Galerkin method. Finally, the presented method is tested on some examples. Numerical results show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.

Congestion Pricing under Operational, Supply-Side Uncertainty

This paper is concerned with finding first-best tolls in static transportation networks with day-to-day variation in network capacity, as accounted for by changes in the volume-delay function. The key question in addressing this problem is that of information, namely, which agents have access to what information when making decisions. In this work, travelers are assumed to be either fully infor...

Pricing and Production Planning Under Supply Uncertainty

This paper addresses the problem of determining the sale price and the production quantity under supply uncertainty. The problem is commonly observed in the agricultural industry. We consider a firm that initially leases farm space in order to grow fruit. The realized amount of fruit supply fluctuates due to weather conditions, diseases, etc. At the end of the growing season, the firm makes two...
