Optimization Techniques: An Introduction

TL;DR: The results are shown for a linear age structure problem and for an epidemic situation at the uninfected state (minimize costs for a given reduction of the reproduction number) and then extended to populations structured by size, to harvesting at Gurtin-MacCamy equilibria and to vaccination at infectedEquilibria.

TL;DR: This work analyzes the energy consumption in one-transmitter-multiple-receiver communication and develops scheduling schemes to improve energy efficiency at the transmitter and presents optimal scheduling algorithms that selectively transmit data at calculated rates so that the throughput or the total transmission value is maximized under given time limits and energy constraints.

TL;DR: This work proposes to conduct online rate assignment based on backlogged packets and derive the optimal algorithm in transmitting the packets and demonstrates the effectiveness of the online algorithms in striking a better energy-delay trade-off.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a barrier option for wind power, with which WPPs can trade their hedged proportion of power at prices no less than a predetermined strike price during the option life.
