Abstract:

In this paper, our goal is to define a method of welfare maximization in which the level of customers' social welfare, before and after changing the pricing policy from a flat pricing method to a real time one, remain unchanged...

A new form of strong-motion accelerogram ("spectrally maximized record"

or "SMR") and its associated generalized spectrum are proposed for earthquake

engineering use. Parameters (e.g., spectral, duration, peak amplitude...

vectors thereupon margin can not be maximized. In the proposed method, constraints boundaries and constraints occurrence have probability density functions which it help for achieving maximum margin. Experimental results show superiority...
