Optimal relocation strategies for spatially mobile consumers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a model of the behaviour of a dynamically optimizing economic agent who makes consumption-saving and spatial relocation decisions. We formulate an existence result for the model, derive the necessary conditions for optimality and study the behaviour of the economic agent, focusing on the case of a wage distribution with a single maximum.

The Mobile Facility Routing Problem
I many applications, ranging from cellular communications to humanitarian relief logistics, mobile facilities are used to provide a service to a region with temporal and spatially distributed demand. This paper introduces the mobile facility routing problem (MFRP), which seeks to create routes for a fleet of mobile facilities that maximizes the demand serviced by these mobile facilities during ...

متن کاملEnergy Minimization by Optimally Relocating Mobile Relays in Multi-hop Wireless Ad hoc Networks
This paper considers the energy minimization problem in a multi-hop wireless ad hoc network that consists of regular nodes and mobile relays. In such a network, mobile relays may relocate to optimal positions such that energy consumption for data transmission is minimized. In order to find the optimal positions for mobile relays, the mobile relay optimal relocation (MROR) problem is first defin...
متن کاملOpposing organizing forces of deposit-feeding marine communities
We contend that a range of phenomena characterizing temperate deposit-feeding communities in low-energy environments is strongly organized by two principal opposing forces: (1) spatially localized inputs of detritus or new recruits, leading to amosaic of initial patches, with subsequent impacts on spatio-temporal variation of species with limited mobility; and (2) the impact of mobile consumers...
متن کاملEvaluating Welfare with Nonlinear Prices
This paper examines how to evaluate consumer welfare when consumers face nonlinear prices. This problem arises in many settings, such as devising optimal pricing strategies for firms, assessing how price discrimination affects consumers, and evaluating the efficiency costs of many transfer programs in the public sector. We extend prior methods to accommodate a broad range of modern pricing prac...
