OPTIMAL HARVEST FEEDBACK RULE ACCOUNTING FOR THE FISHING‐UP EFFECT AND SIZE‐DEPENDENT PRICING

Abstract Fishing leads to truncation of a population's age and size structure. However, large‐sized fish are usually more valuable per unit weight than small ones. Nevertheless, these size‐related factors have mostly been ignored in bioeconomic modeling. Here, we present a simple extension to the Gordon–Schaefer model that accounts for variations in mean individual catch weight, and derive the feedback rule for optimal harvest in this setting. As the Gordon–Schaefer model has no population structure, size effects have to be accounted for indirectly. Here we assume a simple negative relationship between fishing effort and mean individual weight, and a positive relationship between mean catch weight and price. The aim is to emulate alterations of size structure in fish populations due to fishing and the influence of size on price per weight unit and eventually, net revenues. This demonstrates, on a general level, how such size‐dependent effects change the patterns of optimal harvest paths and sustainable revenue in single fish stocks. The model shows clear shifts toward lower levels of optimal effort and yield compared to classical models without size effects. This suggests that ignoring body size could lead to misleading assumptions and policies, potentially causing rent dissipation and suboptimal utilization of renewable resources.     

A finite‐volume scheme for the multidimensional quantum drift‐diffusion model for semiconductors

A finite‐volume scheme for the stationary unipolar quantum drift‐diffusion equations for semiconductors in several space dimensions is analyzed. The model consists of a fourth‐order elliptic equation for the electron density, coupled to the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential, with mixed Dirichlet‐Neumann boundary conditions. The numerical scheme is based on a Scharfetter‐Gummel type reformulation of the equations. The existence of a sequence of solutions to the discrete problem and its numerical convergence to a solution to the continuous model are shown. Moreover, some numerical examples in two space dimensions are presented. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 27: 1483–1510, 2011     

Simple monadic theories and indiscernibles

Aiming for applications in monadic second‐order model theory, we study first‐order theories without definable pairing functions. Our main results concern forking‐properties of sequences of indiscernibles. These turn out to be very well‐behaved for the theories under consideration (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

组合GM(1,1)幂模型及其应用

GM(1,1)幂模型是灰色Verhulst模型的推广.由于初始条件选取影响GM(1,1)幂模型的精度,将平均相对误差函数分别看成是幂指数、发展系数、灰作用量的函数,利用蚁群算法进行参数辨识,从而建立多个单项GM(1,1)幂模型.利用这些单项模型建立了线性组合GM(1,1)幂模型,组合权系数利用最大相对误差最小化原则采用粒子群算法确定.实例表明,组合GM(1,1)幂模型的建模精度高于传统GM(1,1)幂模型,同时也说明方法是有效的和可行的,具有重要的理论意义.
