Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Interdiction Models and Heuristics for Graph Propagation

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given a graph G=(V,E)$$ G=\left(V,E\right) $$ and a set S⊂V$$ S\subset V $$ of activated/infected nodes, we consider the problem of determining the set of c$$ c $$ nodes that minimizes the network propagation on the subgraph that results from the removal of those c$$ c $$ nodes. To measure network propagation, we assume that a node i$$ i $$ is

Governing the Third Sector in the Gulf: A Systematic Review of Emergence, Capacity, and Policy Dynamics in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The third sector has emerged as an increasingly important actor in governance, social development, and public service delivery across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), yet scholarly understanding of its evolution, institutional capacity, and policy role remains fragmented and uneven.

Who Holds the Strings? Hybrid Governance in Small States

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how governance in Caribbean small island developing states (SIDS) is reshaped by enduring postcolonial legacies, recurrent crises, and deepening global interdependence. It highlights turbulence, understood as a structural, generative condition of fragmented and recombining authority, as its central analytical contribution ...
