Common Fixed Point Theorems for a Finite Family of Discontinuous and Noncommutative Maps
Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2011 We study common fixed point theorems for a finite family of discontinuous and noncommutative single-valued functions defined in complete metric spaces.

Exact Solutions of Linear Multiple Delay Partial Differential Equations
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper develops an analytical framework for linear differential equations with multiple discrete delays. A new function, referred to as the multiple‐delay exponential function, is introduced, and some of its fundamental properties are established.

Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.

Optimizing Household Waste Recycling Centre Network Reorganization in Hampshire
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Local councils across the UK are facing sustained financial pressures, and Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are being increasingly considered for closure to reduce expenditure. In 2024, Hampshire County Council, which operates the largest HWRC network in the UK, proposed closing either five or twelve existing sites.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Stabilising Routines in Complex Emergencies: How Basic Service Continuity Shapes Perceived Security
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how locally embedded actors describe the relationship between basic service continuity and perceived security in complex emergencies, with particular attention to the stabilisation of everyday routines. Using Proximity‐Predictability‐Attributability (PPA) as an analytic lens, we trace how interviewees relate access to water,

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...
