A continuum approximation approach to the depot location problem in a crowd-shipping system

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink

Last-mile delivery in the logistics chain contributes to congestion in urban networks due to frequent stops. Crowd-shipping is a sustainable and low-cost alternative to traditional delivery but relies heavily on the availability of occasional couriers. In ...

Robustness Against Read Committed: A Free Transactional Lunch

Christoph Koch, Bas Ketsman

Transaction processing is a central part of most database applications. While serializability remains the gold standard for desirable transactional semantics, many database systems offer improved transaction throughput at the expense of introducing potenti ...

Memoryless Worker-Task Assignment with Polylogarithmic Switching Cost

Adam Teodor Polak

We study the basic problem of assigning memoryless workers to tasks with dynamically changing demands. Given a set of w workers and a multiset T ⊆ [t] of |T| = w tasks, a memoryless worker-task assignment function is any function ϕ that assigns the workers ...

Lifetime investment and consumption with recursive preferences and small transaction costs

Yaroslav Melnyk

We investigate the effects of small proportional transaction costs on lifetime consumption and portfolio choice. The extant literature has focused on agents with additive utilities. Here, we extend this analysis to the archetype of nonadditive preferences: ...

Market Structure and Transaction Costs of Index CDSs

Pierre Collin-Dufresne, Jan Benjamin Junge

Despite regulatory efforts to promote all-to-all trading, the post-Dodd-Frank index credit default swap market remains two-tiered. Transaction costs are higher for dealer-to-client than interdealer trades, but the difference is explained by the higher, lar ...

Aspects of the energy transition and their effects on power systems

Laurent Vincent Pagnier

Most European countries are committed to an energy transition which consists in the substitution of conventional CO2 emitting energy sources by new renewable energy sources (RES), in particular wind and solar power. As opposed to conventional energy source ...

Are renewables really that expensive? The impact of uncertainty on the cost of the energy transition

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Francesco Baldi, Xiang Li

The dramatic evidence of climate change is making the transition to more renewable energy systems an urgent global priority. As energy planners normally look 20-50 years ahead, it is crucial to consider the key uncertainties stemming from inaccurate foreca ...

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Electric Bus Fleet with Various Operation Intervals

Francesco Baldi

Electric buses are particularly suitable for city and suburban routes due to zero local exhaust and noise emissions. The operation schedule interval defines the charging power, bus fleet size and total cost of ownership of a bus. We propose a novel cost-be ...

Thermo-economic analysis and multi-objective optimisation of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to Fischer-Tropsch fuels

François Maréchal, Emanuela Peduzzi

This paper addresses the techno-economic evaluation and optimisation of processes converting lignocellulosic biomass into liquid fuels, through the development of a suitable framework and the modelling and design of Biomass to Liquids (BTL) processes. In p ...

A Scale-out Blockchain for Value Transfer with Spontaneous Sharding

Kelong Cong

Bitcoin, as well as many of its successors, require the whole transaction record to be reliably acquired by all nodes to prevent double-spending. Recently, many blockchains have been proposed to achieve scale-out throughput by letting nodes only acquire a ...
