We study the optimal capacity of landfills taking into account their sequential nature. Such an optimal capacity is characterized by the so-called Optimal Capacity Condition. Particular versions of this condition are obtained for two alternative settings: first, if all the landfills are to have...

In this work, we deal with obtaining efficient solutions for stochastic multiobjective programming problems. In general, these solutions are obtained in two stages: in one of them, the stochastic problem is transformed into its equivalent deterministic problem, and in the other one, some of the...

The aim of this study is to analyse the resolution of Stochastic Programming Problems in which the objective function depends on parameters which are continuous random variables with a known distribution probability. In the literature on these questions different solution concepts have been...

We present a simple dynamic model to get some key insights about the substitution of renewable for nonrenewable resources in production and the consequences for sustainability. We highlight the role of the elasticity of substitution (technological component) to determine the adjustment of every...

A nonlinear fractional programming problem is considered, where the functions involved are diferentiable with respect to an arc.Necessary and su±cient optimality conditions are obtained in terms of the right diferentials with respect to an arc of the functions. A dual is formulated and duality...

A theoretical model is presented in order to study the optimal combination of natural resources, used as inputs, taking into account their natural growth ability and the technical possibilities of input substitution. The model enables us to consider renewable resources, nonrenewable, or both....

Written by leading international experts in the field, this book reveals the various economic effects from climate change policies introduced at national and international levels. They describe actual applications of climate change policies in the main emitting countries. After the Copenhagen...
