A Time/Utility Function (TUF), née Time/Value Function, specifies the application-specific utility that an action (e.g., computational task, mechanical movement) yields depending on its completion time. [1] [2] TUFs and their utility interpretations (semantics), scales, and values are derived from application domain-specific subject matter ...
In behavioral economics, time preference (or time discounting, [1] delay discounting, temporal discounting, [2] long-term orientation [3]) is the current relative valuation placed on receiving a good at an earlier date compared with receiving it at a later date. [1] Applications for these preferences include finance, health, climate change.
Discounted utility calculations made for events at various points in the future as well as at the present take the form = (), where u(x t) is the utility of some choice x at time t and T is the time of the most distant future

Utility bills cover essential household services such as electricity, sewer, water, trash pickup, phone, internet and gas. The bills can add up -- a GOBankingRates study found that 30% of Americans...
Formally, exponential discounting occurs when total utility is given by ({} =) = = (()) where c t is consumption at time t, δ is the exponential discount factor, and u is the instantaneous utility function.
The City of New Westminster, which has its own electrical utility, also allows net metering. [37] New Brunswick allows net metering for installations up to 100 kW. Credits from excess generated power can be carried over until March at which time any excess credits are lost. [38] SaskPower allows net metering for installations up to 100 kW ...
