Optimal synthesis in the Reeds and Shepp problem with a free final direction

Abstract: We consider a time-optimal problem for the Reeds and Shepp model describing a moving point on a plane, with a free final direction of velocity. Using Pontryagin maximum principle, we obtain all types of extremals and, analyzing them and discarding nonoptimal ones, construct the optimal synthesis.

Technological knowledge absorption as a factor of innovation development

Abstract: The concept of absorptive capacity as a framework for analysis allows solving some challenges of knowledge transfer. However, the assumption about the homogeneity of production factors does not enable to understand the sources of firms’ competitive advantage, various models of their innovation behavior, and the constraints of innovation policy. The study aims to clarify the typology of absorptive capacity, to analyze the structure of the absorption of foreign techno logical knowledge, to formulate some measures on growing of absorptive capacity of the Russian enterprises. In the paper, the three types of absorptive capacity are associated with the acquisition of embodied technologies; patents, licenses, and know-how; and adoption of R&D results.

Do We Need to Protect Intellectual Property Rights

Abstract: Strict protection of IPR can have a negative effect on economic development. Regression of economic growth on these indices produces conventional results (positive effect of stricter protection of IPR on growth) only if indices of institutional capacity (government effectiveness, control over corruption) are not included into the right hand side. If they are included, they kill the effect of IPR protection (because they are very much correlated with the IPR protection indices), so it is hardly possible to separate the effects of stricter IPR protection from the impact of the general strength of institutions.The same procedure was used to evaluate the impact of the IPR protection regime on the average share of R&D expenditure in GDP and the results were largely the same: without control for the institutional capacity, IPR protection seems to stimulate R&D, but after controlling for the institutional indices the effect disappears.There is also a strong negative effect of stricter regime of protection of IPR on the proliferation of the most crucial technology of recent decades – computers. The increase in the total number of PCs in 1995-2005, after controlling for the level of development, the size of the country and the institutional index, is negatively correlated with the IPR protection index.If piracy of intellectual products allows to overcome the negative impact of IPR protection on the dissemination of new technologies, it is reasonable to talk not about costs of piracy, but about the benefits of piracy and the costs of stricter IPR protection.

Growth diagram of monotonic function and reconstruction problem for its original

Abstract: For monotonic original-functions of real argue the notion diagram (diagram-function) is introduced. The diagram indicates the growth rate of original-function during a certain time interval (which is accepted as the time unit). Many difference-differential equations (DDE) can be presented as the diagram-relation; then the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution are revealed. Two examples of such type DDE are considered: (1) Henkin–Polterovich's model of technology diffusion, (2) the model for process of layer-to-layer crystal growth. In itself the “build up” method for reconstruction of original-function which was developed in this article is of interest.
