Open versus closed loop capacity equilibria in electricity markets under perfect and oligopolistic competition

We consider two game-theoretic models of the generation capacity expansion problem in liberalized electricity markets. The first is an open loop equilibrium model, where generation companies simultaneously choose capacities and quantities to maximize their individual profit. The second is a closed loop model, in which companies first choose capacities maximizing their profit anticipating the market equilibrium outcomes in the second stage. The latter problem is an equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints. In both models, the intensity of competition among producers in the energy market is frequently represented using conjectural variations. Considering one load period, we show that for any choice of conjectural variations ranging from perfect competition to Cournot, the closed loop equilibrium coincides with the Cournot open loop equilibrium, thereby obtaining a ‘Kreps and Scheinkman’-like result and extending it to arbitrary strategic behavior. When expanding the model framework to multiple load periods, the closed loop equilibria for different conjectural variations can diverge from each other and from open loop equilibria. We also present and analyze alternative conjectured price response models with switching conjectures. Surprisingly, the rank ordering of the closed loop equilibria in terms of consumer surplus and market efficiency (as measured by total social welfare) is ambiguous. Thus, regulatory approaches that force marginal cost-based bidding in spot markets may diminish market efficiency and consumer welfare by dampening incentives for investment. We also show that the closed loop capacity yielded by a conjectured price response second stage competition can be less or equal to the closed loop Cournot capacity, and that the former capacity cannot exceed the latter when there are symmetric agents and two load periods.     

Bounded and Almost Periodic Solutions of Linear High-Order Hyperbolic Equations

The present paper is devoted to investigating high-order strictly hyperbolic operators with nearly constant coefficients. The invertibility of these operators in spaces of functions uniformly bounded or almost periodic in time is established, provided the symbol of the operator in question has no roots in an open strip containing the real line. Under the additional condition that the strip coincides with a half-plane, exponentially decaying solutions of the nonhomogeneous equation with right-hand side of exponential decay are constructed. In the case of equations with constant coefficients the necessity of the derived conditions is proved. The results of this paper were announced without proofs in [SV].     

Recurrent solutions of the linearly coupled complex cubic‐quintic Ginzburg‐Landau equations

In this paper, we will establish the bounded solutions, periodic solutions, quasiperiodic solutions, almost periodic solutions, and almost automorphic solutions for linearly coupled complex cubic‐quintic Ginzburg‐Landau equations, under suitable conditions. The main difficulty is the nonlinear terms in the equations that are not Lipschitz‐continuity, traditional methods cannot deal with the difficulty in our problem. We overcome this difficulty by the Galerkin approach, energy estimate method, and refined inequality technique.     

A New Almost Periodic Type Solution of First Order Neutral Delay Differential Equations with Piecewise Constant Argument

In this paper, we introduce a new class of ergodic sequences, pseudo almost periodic sequences, and study the existence of pseudo almost periodic sequences to difference equations. On the basis of these, we investigate the existence of pseudo almost periodic solutions for neutral delay differential equations with piecewise constant argument, Received September 21, 1998, Accepted July 6, 1999

Based on these, we investigate the existence of pseudo almost periodic solutions to differential equations with piecewise constant arguments which was considered by K. L. Cooke & J. Wiener and found applications in certain biomedical problems.

Behavior of bounded solutions for some almost periodic neutral partial functional differential equations

We establish a Bochner type characterization for Stepanov almost periodic functions, and we prove a new result about the integration of almost periodic functions. This result is then used together with a reduction principle to investigate the nature of bounded solutions of some almost periodic partial neutral functional differential equations. More specifically, we prove that all bounded solutions on are almost periodic. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solution spaces of homogeneous linear difference systems with coefficient matrices from commutative groups

We analyse the solution spaces of limit periodic homogeneous linear difference systems, where the coefficient matrices of the considered systems are taken from a commutative group which does not need to be bounded. In particular, we study such systems whose fundamental matrices are not asymptotically almost periodic or which have solutions vanishing at infinity. We identify a simple condition on the matrix group which guarantees that the studied systems form a dense subset in the space of all considered systems. The obtained results improve previously known theorems about non-almost periodic and non-asymptotically almost periodic solutions. Note that the elements of the coefficient matrices are taken from an infinite field with an absolute value and that the corresponding almost periodic case is treated as well.

PERIODIC CHARACTER OF A DIFFERENCE EQUATION WITH MAXIMUM

Population models in almost periodic environments

We establish the basic theory of almost periodic sequences on ?₊. Dichotomy techniques are then utilized to find sufficient conditions for the existence of a globally attracting almost periodic solution of a semilinear system of difference equations. These existence results are, subsequently, applied to discretely reproducing populations with and without overlapping generations. Furthermore, we access evidence for attenuance and resonance in almost periodically forced population models.     

“STRAGEDY” OF THE COMMONS

This paper computes open loop and subgame perfect Nash equilibria for an infinite horizon, common property resource model with congestion and stock externalities. The model permits the comparison of the game-theoretic approach and the traditional commons literature, which preceded the widespread recognition of the games, because the underlying assumptions are equivalent. With access to the commons restricted, the subgame perfect equilibrium captures the inefficiency associated with the strategic scramble to capture the resource reserves the open loop does not. Under sole ownership, the two equilibrium concepts coincide with the surplus maximizing extraction policy. In free access, the extraction strategies under both equilibrium concepts coincide with complete rent dissipation.     

Monitoring cooperative equilibria in a stochastic differential game

This paper deals with a class of equilibria which are based on the use of memory strategies in the context of continuous-time stochastic differential games. In order to get interpretable results, we will focus the study on a stochastic differential game model of the exploitation of one species of fish by two competing fisheries. We explore the possibility of defining a so-called cooperative equilibrium, which will implement a fishing agreement. In order to obtain that equilibrium, one defines a monitoring variable and an associated retaliation scheme. Depending on the value of the monitoring variable, which provides some evidence of a deviation from the agreement, the probability increases that the mode of a game will change from a cooperative to a punitive one. Both the monitoring variable and the parameters of this jump process are design elements of the cooperative equilibrium. A cooperative equilibrium designed in this way is a solution concept for a switching diffusion game. We solve that game using the sufficient conditions for a feedback equilibrium which are given by a set of coupled HJB equations. A numerical analysis, approximating the solution of the HJB equations through an associated Markov game, enables us to show that there exist cooperative equilibria which dominate the classical feedback Nash equilibrium of the original diffusion game model.This research was supported by FNRS-Switzerland, NSERC-Canada, FCAR-Quebec.
