... β, and Θ. βminis a lower bound of β∗, and β and Θare the step sizes for searching β∗ and Θ∗, respectively. The algorithm executes thefollowing steps to yield β∗, Γ∗, and ... Θ∗.Step 1 (Determining the candidates of β∗ and Γ∗) The purpose of this step is to obtain anumber of β∗ and Γ∗candidates for the second step.We first consider a Γ∗candidate: [L1; ;Lc]. ... issues of energy resource development and also include energy policy and planning issues.
