On the Existence and Characterization of Markovian Equilib- rium in Models with Simple Non-Paternalistic Altruism

Mathématiques Appliquées

We consider a network shared by non-cooperative two types of users, group users and individualusers, each user of the first type has a significant impacton the load of the network, whereas a user of the sec-ond type doesn’t. Both group users as well as individualusers choose their routes so as to minimize their costs.We further consider the case that the users may have<l...

Monte Carlo Simulation to Compare Markovian and Neural Network Models for Reliability Assessment in Multiple AGV Manufacturing System

We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobsho...

The motion of Saturn coorbital satellites in the Restricted Three Body Problem

This paper provides a description of the mo tion of Saturn coorbital satellites Janus and Epimetheus by means of horseshoe periodic orbits in the framework of the planar restricted three body problem for the mass parameter The mechanism of existence of such orbits for any value of and the Jacobi constant C close to C L L being an adequate collinear equilib rium point is analyzed from two di ere...

Non-paternalistic altruism and welfare economics

Bergstrom showed that a necessary condition for a Pareto optimum with non-paternalistic altruism is classification as a selfish Pareto optimum. This paper shows that Bergstrom’s result does not generalize to the benefit-cost analysis of generic changes in public goods. There may exist good projects that will be rejected by a selfish-benefit cost test, a selfish test error. Selfish test error is...
