Economics of Urban Highway Congestion and Pricing offers the most
extensive examination to date of the relationship between
congestion tolls and highway capacity in the long run. This study
breaks new ground in the economic theory of optimal road capacity
by including theoretical contributions, empirical studies, and
simulation experiments that all pertain to the general topic
reflected in the title. The book is organized into four sections:
1) highway traffic flow; 2) commuter choice of tollways versus
freeways; 3) congestion pricing in the short run; and 4) road
capacity and pricing in the long run. In particular, the first
section on highway traffic flow examines the chief models and
empirical studies of vehicular flow on urban highways. The second
section of the book is a theoretical and empirical examination of
the choice that commuters make between urban tollways and freeways.
The third section is devoted to congestion pricing in the short
run, the time period in which the urban highway facilities are
taken as given. This section is the most important part of the book
from the standpoint of public policy. The fourth and last section
of the book considers road capacity and pricing in the long run,
with the concluding chapter gathering the authors' main results in
one place and making recommendations both for current policy and
for future research.

and research results on solitons, presenting related mathematical
methods and applications as well as numerical experiments.
Different types of soliton equations are covered along with their
dynamical behaviors and applications from physics, making the book
an essential reference for researchers and graduate students in
applied mathematics and physics. Contents Introduction Inverse

Puppet's true power exists in the simple resource model it uses
to manage the state of complex operating systems. This concise
guide shows you how to extend that model and implement custom
functionality on top of Puppet by working with the type and
provider APIs.
Two experts from Puppet Labs explain the concepts behind these
APIs, and provide instructions and examples to help you write your
own fully functional types and providers. You'll also delve into
Puppet's source code to get a better understanding of how types and
providers are implemented internally. If you're familiar with basic
Puppet concepts, you're ready to get started.Learn the fundamental
concepts behind resources, and become familiar with the structure
of Puppet's Resource ModelDiscover how the type API is used to
create new resource types that Puppet can manageUnderstand how
providers interact with the system to achieve the desired state of
a declared resourceExplore advanced features to get a more complete
understanding of how Puppet worksSimplify the troubleshooting
process when developing types and providers
