Book Chapter
Stewart, K., & Maher, M. (2006). Minimal revenue network tolling: system optimisation under stochastic assignment with elastic demand. In S. Lawphongpanich, D. Hearn, & M. Smith (Eds.), Mathematics in transport : selected proceedings of the 4th IMA International Conference on Mathematics in Transport : in honour of Richard Allsop (201-218). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/0-387-29645-X_9

The classical road tolling problem is to toll network links such that, under the principles of Wardropian User Equilibrium (UE) assignment, a System Optimising (SO) flow pattern is obtained. Such toll sets are however non-unique, and further optimisa... Read More about Minimal revenue network tolling: system optimisation under stochastic assignment with elastic demand..

Electrocardiogram recordings in free-ranging gannets reveal minimum difference in heart rate during flapping versus gliding flight (2006)
Journal Article
