An analytical algorithm to formulate a sparser set of adjacency constraints than the conventional algorithm is proposed. Utilizing matrix algebra applied to an adjacency matrix, constraints are systematically and efficiently derived by the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm is proved to provide a true set of adjacency constraints in the...

This paper investigates the potential welfare gains resulting from variable parking fees in the presence of heterogeneous agents. We begin by defining a modified linear city model with two lots located at separate distances from a central business district, and two types of agents with heterogeneous values of time. Agents...
This dissertation consists of three papers studying optimization, conservation
and valuation of contingent claims in economic resource nianagement under
uncertainty.
In the first paper the Markovian optinial policies are studied for resource
management in a finite time horizon. Under sonic conditions, in particular, when
the prices are stochastic and there...
Crown profile was modeled using a system of equations with three components.
The first equation predicts the maximum crown width of an open grown tree based on
the tree's diameter at breast height. The second equation modifies maximum crown
width to represent the largest width of the crown in stand...
The objective of this monograph is to illustrate how the elements of an investment analysis are brought together to form a basis for sound decisions on new plant investments. These elements include financial analysis, raw material analysis, and market analysis.
The financial analysis consists of determining the initial investment required...
The impact of recent severe droughts throughout the United States, the potential for climate change to intensify the frequency and severity of drought, and discussion about the future of government assistance in agriculture highlight the need for a transition from drought as ‘disaster’ to drought as ‘managed risk’. However, guidance...
Volume I: TREES (Timber Resource Economic Estimation System), a forest management and harvest scheduling model, is comprehensively described in the first of a four-volume series. Even- or uneven-aged forest inventories form basic resource units (BRUs), entered by age class or size and diameter classes; stocking level; and management intensity. Management...
