Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates strategic dynamics under the behavioral rule of pairwise interact and imitate (PII), which requires minimal information and emphasizes outperforming opponents in pairwise interactions. We characterize PII using weak tournament graphs and, for a broad class of dynamics, establish a one‐shot stability result for ...

Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...

Inference via the Skewness‐Kurtosis Set
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Kurtosis minus squared skewness is bounded from below by 1, but for unimodal distributions, this parameter is bounded by 189/125. In some applications, it is natural to compare distributions by comparing their kurtosis‐minus‐squared‐skewness parameters. The asymptotic behavior of the empirical version of this parameter is studied here for i.i.d.

Standing on a common ground: a comparison of static stability approaches for pallet loading
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract At the practical level, the static stability constraint is one of the most important constraints in practical pallet loading problems, such as air cargo palletizing. Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions ...

Vessel arrival planning with full information
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Planning efficiency and timely arrival of vessels is crucial to smooth operations of maritime transport networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing operational costs. Coordination between vessel operators and terminals has the potential to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and waiting time.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Somatic growth influences survival and reproduction, with flow‐on effects on population dynamics and energy fluxes within ecosystems. Small‐bodied cryptobenthic reef fishes may contribute significantly to productivity due to their life‐history traits, including growth rates and rapid generational turnover.

The Productivity Effect of Public–Private Partnership
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Public–Private partnerships (PPPs) are often employed by public authorities to deliver infrastructure and public services through contracts bundling construction, operation, and maintenance over extended periods. Using a novel dataset covering the universe of Italian district heating plants (DHs) from 2007 to 2014, I show that PPP improves ...

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.Bistability is an inherent working mode of NREM sleep. Those bistable patterns ‐ sleep slow waves, K‐complexes, and the cyclic alternating pattern (on a longer, several seconds' time‐scale) ‐ have a double function; they protect sleep and provide an interface between the brain and the environment for information‐transfer during sleep.

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With the advent of the Internet of Things, it is increasingly common to have large networks of sensors, where each sensor may collect different types of data, has limited local computing resources and the ability to transmit data to a central cloud. Detecting events that trigger changes in sensor data properties is a key concern.

Adaptive Estimation for Weakly Dependent Functional Times Series
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose adaptive mean and autocovariance function estimators for stationary functional time series under 𝕃p−m‐approximability assumptions. These estimators are designed to adapt to the regularity of the curves and to accommodate both sparse and dense data designs.
