    In this paper, we study a joint problem in which the Independent System Operator (ISO) intends to minimize the joint cost of operation and investment in a network structure. The problem is formulated through operational and investment control variables; we discuss the hierarchy between them and use the so-called Day Ahead Problem to find an … Read more

    It’s shown that a number of variational problems can be cast as finding the maxinf-points (or minsup-points) of bivariate functions, coveniently abbreviated to bifunctions. These variational problems include: linear and nonlinear complementarity problems, fixed points, variational inequalities, inclusions, non-cooperative games, Walras and Nash equilibrium problems. One can then appeal to the theory of lopsided convergence … Read more
