To describe the dynamics of a size-structured population and its unstructured resource, we formulate bookkeeping equations in two different ways. The first, called the PDE formulation, is rather standard. It employs a first order partial…

Reduced-order models have long been used to understand the behavior of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Naturally, reduced-order modeling techniques come at the price of computational accuracy for a decrease in computation…
We consider price competition among multiple sellers over a selling horizon of $T$ periods. In each period, sellers simultaneously offer their prices (which are made public) and subsequently observe their respective demand (not made…
Partial differential equation (PDE)-constrained optimization arises in many scientific and engineering domains, such as energy systems, fluid dynamics and material design. In these problems, the decision variables (e.g., control inputs or…
Proceeding from the concept of rational expectations, a new dynamic model of supply and demand in a single market with one supplier, one buyer, and one kind of commodity is developed. Unlike the cob-web dynamic theories with adaptive…
