This paper is concerned with the cost-effective allocation of habitat for endangered species under spatio-temporally heterogeneous economic development. To address the dynamic dimension of the problem we consider tradable development rights (TDR) as the instrument of choice. A particular...

Abstract We consider convex risk measures in a spatial setting, where the outcome of a financial position depends on the states at different nodes of a network. In analogy to the theory of Gibbs measures in Statistical Mechanics, we discuss the local specification of a global risk measure...

The study of random graphs has become very popular for real-life network modeling, such as social networks or financial networks. Inhomogeneous long-range percolation (or scale-free percolation) on the lattice Zd, d Ï 1, is a particular attractive example of a random graph model because it...

In the perfect rectangle packing problem, a set of rectangular items have to be placed inside a rectangular container without overlap or empty space. In this paper, we generate a large number of random instances and decide them all with an exact solving algorithm. Both an instance’s solution...
