Entropy, 2019 This paper presents a thermodynamic vision of the depletion of mineral resources. It demonstrates how raw materials can be better assessed using exergy, based on thermodynamic rarity, which considers scarcity in the crust and energy requirements for ...

Minimizing the Probability of Ruin when Consumption is Ratcheted [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 We assume that an agent's rate of consumption is {\it ratcheted}; that is, it forms a non-decreasing process. Given the rate of consumption, we act as financial advisers and find the optimal investment strategy for the agent who wishes to minimize his probability of ruin.

Measuring the impact of input data on energy consumption of software [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The amount of energy consumed during the execution of software, and the ability to predict future consumption, is an important factor in the design of embedded electronic systems. In this technical report I examine factors in the execution of software that can affect energy consumption.

Unrestricted Consumption under a Deterministic Wealth and an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process as a Discount Rate [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 We consider an individual or household endowed with an initial capital and an income, modeled as a linear function of time. Assuming that the discount rate evolves as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, we target to find an unrestricted consumption strategy such that the value of the expected discounted consumption is maximized. Differently than in the case
