Stochastic Maximum Principle for Optimal Advertising Models with Delay and Non-Convex Control Spaces

In this paper we study optimal advertising problems that model the introduction of a new product into the market in the presence of carryover effects of the advertisement and with memory effects in the level of goodwill. In particular, we let the dynamics of the product goodwill to depend on the past, and also on past advertising efforts. We treat the problem by means of the stochastic Pontryagin maximum principle, that here is considered for a class of problems where in the state equation either the state or the control depend on the past. Moreover the control acts on the martingale term and the space of controls U can be chosen to be non-convex but now the space of controls U can be chosen to be non-convex. The maximum principle is thus formulated using a first-order adjoint Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs), which can be explicitly computed due to the specific characteristics of the model, and a second-order adjoint relation.

Assessing the Influence of Roadside Advertising on Traffic Distraction and Its Interplay with Inside Vehicle Distractions: A Cross-Cultural Study in Jordan and Kuwait

Limited research has explored roadside advertisements’ effects on road user behavior in Middle Eastern countries. This study aims to understand distraction perceptions, including advertisements, their impact on behavior, and potential influences from advertisement type, in-vehicle distraction, and country factors (reflecting culture and environment). A standardized questionnaire was administered in Jordan and Kuwait, complemented by observations across three segment types: roadside advertisements, commercial signs, and road signs as control segments. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Results indicated a significant disparity in distraction perception between the two groups. Advertisement presence influenced Kuwaiti but not Jordanian behavior. Behavior varied by advertisement type in Jordan, not Kuwait, and in-vehicle distraction did not impact driver behavior. The study suggests explicitly revising advertising policies with a traffic safety focus. Overall, the study contributes insights into road user perceptions and behaviors, highlighting the complex interplay of distractions and advertising on road safety. Further research is required to validate these findings and shape road safety regulations.

The Caching and Pricing Strategy for Information-Centric Networking with Advertisers’Participation

As users’access to the network has evolved into the acquisition of mass contents instead of IP addresses,the IP network architecture based on end-to-end communication cannot meet users’needs.Therefore,the Information-Centric Networking(ICN)came into being.From a technical point of view,ICN is a promising future network architecture.Researching and customizing a reasonable pricing mechanism plays a positive role in promoting the deployment of ICN.The current research on ICN pricing mechanism is focused on paid content.Therefore,we study an ICN pricing model for free content,which uses game theory based on Nash equilibrium to analysis.In this work,advertisers are considered,and an advertiser model is established to describe the economic interaction between advertisers and ICN entities.This solution can formulate the best pricing strategy for all ICN entities and maximize the benefits of each entity.Our extensive analysis and numerical results show that the proposed pricing framework is significantly better than existing solutions when it comes to free content.
