Characterizing the Set of Coherent Lower Previsions with a Finite Number of Constraints or Vertices
CoRR, 2010 The standard coherence criterion for lower previsions is expressed using an infinite number of linear constraints. For lower previsions that are essentially defined on some finite set of gambles on a finite possibility space, we present a reformulation of this criterion that only uses a finite number of constraints. Any such lower prevision is coherent

Generalized Scaling of Blue Metabolism in River Basins
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract River networks play a central role in regulating biogeochemical transformations at the catchment scale, yet a general scaling theory linking network structure to integrated metabolic function is still lacking. By positing the fundamental differences between blue (fluvial) and green (terrestrial) metabolisms in river basins, we focus on the ...
