In the last 10 years, a number of “conventional fluctuation theorems” have been derived for systems with deterministic or stochastic dynamics, in a transient or in a non-equilibrium stationary state. These theorems gave explicit expressions for the ratio of the probability to find the system...

Using industrial excess heat in District Heating (DH) networks reduces the need for primary energy and is considered efficient resource use. The conditions of Swedish DH markets are under political discussion in the Third Party Access (TPA) proposal, which would facilitate the delivery of firms'...

Denmark’s long-term energy goal is to develop an energy system solely based on renewable energy sources by 2050. To reach this goal, energy savings in buildings is essential. Therefore, the focus on energy efficient measures in buildings and net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) has increased.

Success of services businesses depend on how well the workforce is managed. Having the right size of workforce and the right skill set of the workforce at the right time under dynamic demand environments are challenges that many service businesses face. Demand disturbances in services businesses...

This paper is the first part of a study of Blackwell optimal policies in Markov decision chains with a Borel state space and unbounded rewards. We prove here the existence of deterministic stationary policies which are Blackwell optimal in the class of all, in general randomized, stationary...

Rectified transport of self-propelled particles in an asymmetric period potential is numerically investigated by employing a feedback control protocol. The feedback control is switched on and off depending on the direction of the self-propelled speed. It is found that the direction of the...

This paper revisits an area of economic research that was very active some years ago and, after a quiet period, is once again becoming active. Adaptive control models consider not only additive uncertainty but also mulitplicative uncertainty in the model parameters as well as measurement error....
