The Champions League and the Coase Theorem [PDF]

open access: yes
The Coase Theorem is both one of the simplest and most profound ideas in economics. Coase’s insight was first expressed in print as a theorem by George Stigler, following the publication of the famous article “The Problem of Social Cost” by Nobel ...

Designing ZV and ZVD Input Shapers Using the Designed Fixed Output Response Method to Suppress Residual Vibration of Overhead Crane Systems With Trolley Traveling and Payload Hoisting

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Classical Zero Vibration (ZV) and Zero Vibration and Derivative (ZVD) input shapers are designed around a fixed nominal natural frequency and cannot accommodate the time‐varying dynamics introduced when an overhead crane simultaneously travels and hoists a payload.

The 2‐D Orthogonal Packing Problem With Multiple Levels of Prioritization: A Spatial Optimization Perspective

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses two‐dimensional orthogonal packing within a confined space, integrating bin packing principles with facility layout concepts to address scenarios in which items must not only fit but also be arranged according to spatial priorities.

Digging Deep: Dynamic Programming for Optimal Routing With Double‐Deep Autonomous Mobile Robot Picking

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multi‐tote autonomous mobile robots (MT‐AMRs) are an emerging warehousing technology in which a mobile drive unit carries a lift‐based storage‐and‐retrieval mechanism with an extendable fork and a multi‐tote onboard buffer. On autonomous picking tours, an MT‐AMR visits storage locations, extracts product totes from racks, stores them in its ...

What Are the Results of Product-Price Studies and What Can We Learn From Their Differences? [PDF]

open access: yes
In recent years many economists have analyzed whether international trade has contributed to rising U.S. wage inequality by changing relative product prices.

Suboptimal Model Predictive Control With a Computation Governor: Stability, Recursive Feasibility, and Applications to Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
Computational governor is shown which simultaneously adjusts the reference and adjusts the constraints. ABSTRACT The paper considers a computational governor strategy to facilitate the implementation of Model Predictive Control (MPC) based on inexact optimization when the time available to compute the solution may be insufficient.

"The Folk Theorem with Private Monitoring" [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper investigates infinitely repeated prisoner-dilemma games, where the discount factor is less than but close to 1. We assume that monitoring is imperfect and private, and players' private signal structures satisfy the conditional independence. We

Stochastic Model Predictive Control Using Indirect Feedback With a Modified Terminal Constraint

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a novel dynamic terminal set approach for the model predictive control (MPC) design. It concerns the class of linear systems subject to stochastic disturbances and builds upon an indirect feedback (IF) strategy. The main contribution is to explore the time‐varying definition of the constraints in the indirect feedback SMPC (IF‐SMPC)
