Bankruptcy Risk and Imperfectly Enforced Emissions Taxes [PDF]

Under favorable but reasonable conditions, an imperfectly enforced emissions tax produces the efficient allocation of individual emissions control; aggregate emissions are independent of whether enforcement of the tax is sufficient to induce the full ...

Traffic Control for Network Protection Against Spreading Processes [PDF]

, 2013
Epidemic outbreaks in human populations are facilitated by the underlying transportation network. We consider strategies for containing a viral spreading process by optimally allocating a limited budget to three types of protection resources: (i) Traffic

Fixed-Time Anti-Saturation Tracking Control for Agile Missiles with Multiple Actuators

Aerospace
This paper investigates the fixed-time tracking control problem for agile missiles with multiple heterogeneous actuators in the presence of saturation constraints and external disturbances. To reduce the turning radius and promote maneuvering envelope, a
