Sustainable Management in Active Networks

Abstract

This paper synthesizes two areas of research: control models in networks and sustainable development of active systems. The concept of an active network (an active system with a network structure) is proposed and formalized. Two common classes, hierarchical and non-hierarchical active networks, are identified and studied; some illustrative examples are given. The sustainable management problem of active networks is stated, and approaches to its solution are described. A model example of opinion control in an active network with sustainable development requirements is numerically simulated. For this purpose, the author’s method of qualitatively representative scenarios is used.

Difference Stackelberg Game Theoretic Model of Innovations Management in Universities

“…The solution in both cases is built numerically similar to (Ougolnitsky andUsov, 2016, 2018). The results are also presented in Tables 2 and 3.…”

“…In this paper in modeling the process of innovations promotion we use an authors' concept of sustainable management in active systems (Ougolnitsky, 2016). We propose a hierarchical problem setup where the leading player (Principal) is the state or its representative bodies, and the followers (agents) are competing a la Cournot universities.…”

“…A basic model in the lower level is borrowed from (Cellini and Lambertini, 2004). The Principal exerts an economic impact (impulsion) to the payoff functionals of the agents (Basar and Olsder, 1999;Ougolnitsky, 2016;Dockner et al, 2000;Gorelov and Kononenko, 2015;Mechanism Design and Management, 2013;Geraskin, 2020).…”
