The decrease in oil production, the rise environmental pollution, and impending need to power areas Colombia that do not currently have access electricity given nation task of finding new, decentralized, sustainable energy generation methods. Due its favorable geographic location, renewable sources are a very appealing affordable option Colombia. This document presents systematic literature rev...

A summary is provided of the early history of research on the flow of nonrenewable energy resources through the economy and of the flow of renewable energy resources through a natural ecosystem. The techniques are similar, and many specific applications are provided. A combined economic and ecological technique is also defined. The early history and people of the International Society Ecologica...

The ability to reuse components is an economic necessity with software development projects. However, often such components must be adapted in some manner before they can be used. As the amount of adaptation increases, the economic beneet of reusing the component is decreased. In order to reduce the cost of manually adapting software for reuse when integrating existing applications, we turn to ...

Random dynamical systems are useful in modeling the evolution of economic processes subject to exogenous shocks. One obtains strong results on the existence, uniqueness, stability of the invariant distribution of such systems when an appropriate splitting condition is satisfied. Also of importance has been the study of random iterates of maps from the quadratic family. Applications to economic ...

Networks play an important role in a wide range of economic phenomena. Despite this fact, standard economic theory rarely considers economic networks explicitly in its analysis. However, a major innovation in economic theory has been the use of methods stemming from graph theory to describe and study social relations between economic agents in networks. This recent development has lead to a fas...
