Optimal Delay in Committees
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a committee problem in which efficient information aggregation is hindered by differences in preferences. Sufficiently large delays could foster information aggregation but would require commitment. In a dynamic delay mechanism with limited commitment, successive rounds of decision-making are punctuated by delays that are uniformly bounded from above. Any optimal sequence of delays is finite, inducing in equilibrium both a “deadline play,” in which a period of no activity before the deadline is followed by full concession at the end to reach the efficient decision, and “stopand-start” in the beginning, in which the maximum concession feasible alternates with no concession. Stop-and-start is achieved by binding and slackening the bound on delay in turn. JEL classification. C72, D7, D82

Numerical Solution of Delay Fractional Optimal Control Problems using Modification of Hat Functions
In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of a class of delay fractional optimal control problems using modification of hat functions. First, we introduce the fractional calculus and modification of hat functions. Fractional integral is considered in the sense of Riemann-Liouville and fractional derivative is considered in the sense of Caputo. Then, operational matrix of fractional inte...

Abstract Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a particular type of mobile ad hoc network in which vehicles communicate between themselves using wireless antenna. Due to unique characteristics of VANETs (e.g. high mobility of nodes and dynamic topology), routing is one of the challenging tasks in such networks. Consequently, delay tolerant networks which consider the disconnect nature of...
متن کاملOptimal Ordering Policy with Stock-Dependent Demand Rate under Permissible Delay in Payments
We develop an inventory model to determine optimal ordering policy under permissible delay in payment by considering demand rate to be stock dependent. Mathematical models are derived under two different cases: credit period being greater than or equal to cycle time for settling the account, and credit period being less than or equal to cycle time for settling the account. The results are illus...
متن کاملOptimal discrete-time control of robot manipulators in repetitive tasks
Optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. There are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. The robot performs repetit...
متن کاملAn inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with imperfect quality, delay in payments and time value money
In this paper, Economic Order Quantity ( ) based model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with imperfect quality, permissible delay in payments and inflation is proposed. We adopt a time-dependent demand function. Also, the effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. Moreover, we assume that orders may contain a random proportion of defective items...
