Die Produkte von Maschinen- und Anlagenbauunternehmen stellen in der Regel langlebige, kundenspezifische Investitionsgüter dar. Je umfangreicher die Konstruktions- und Montagezeiten des Investitionsgutes, umso frühzeitiger muss der Kunde sich festlegen, welche Leistungsmerkmale gefordert...

A real-time method is presented to adoptively estimate three-dimensional unmodeled external torques acting on a spacecraft. This is accomplished by forcing the tracking error dynamics to follow the Lyapunov function underlying the feedback control law. For the case where the external torque is...

Structural classification and parameter estimation (SCPE) methods have been used for studying single-input single. output (SISO) parallel and feedback nonlinear system models from input-output (I-O) measurements. The uniqueness of the I-O mappings of different models and parameter uniqueness of...

This paper demonstrates the utility of systems and control theory in the analysis of economic systems. Two applications demonstrate how the analysis of simple dynamic models sheds light on important practical problems. The first problem considers the design of a retail laboratory, where the...

There is great interest in the application of technological solutions driven by a thriving CRM industry. It has been shown the more effective the implementation of SFA, the greater its impact on increased sales performance. Previous research on SFA adoption has focused on the individual as the...

The notion of Gross National Happiness (GNH) presents a radical paradigm shift in development economics and social theory. GNH can be regarded as the Buddhist equivalent to Gross National Product (GNP), which is the conventional indicator for a nation’s economic performance. But GNH can also be...

Zeitpräferenzen sind von zentraler Bedeutung für intertemporale Entscheidungsmodelle. In den meisten ökonomischen Modellen werden Zeitpräferenzen jedoch mit exponential discounting gleichgesetzt. Der erste Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit bespricht eine axiomatische Herleitung von...
