Hybrid Reaction–Diffusion Epidemic Models: Dynamics and Emergence of Oscillations

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we construct a hybrid epidemic mathematical model based on a reaction–diffusion system of the SIR (susceptible‐infected‐recovered) type. This model integrates the impact of random factors on the transmission rate of infectious diseases, represented by a probabilistic process acting at discrete time steps.

Duality for Evolutionary Equations With Applications to Null Controllability

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study evolutionary equations in exponentially weighted L2$$ {\mathrm{L}}^2 $$‐spaces as introduced by Picard in 2009. First, for a given evolutionary equation, we explicitly describe the ν$$ \nu $$‐adjoint system, which turns out to describe a system backwards in time. We prove well‐posedness for the ν$$ \nu $$‐adjoint system. We then apply

Fractional Integral Inequalities of Gruss Type via Generalized Mittag-Leffler Function

International Journal of Analysis and Applications, 2019
We use generalized fractional integral operator containing the generalized Mittag-Leffler function to establish some new integral inequalities of Gr¨uss type. A cluster of fractional integral inequalities have been identified by setting particular values

Predefined‐Time Dynamic Surface Control of Tank Horizontal Stabilization System With Disturbance

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern new tanks are difficult to achieve high precision control of the horizontal stabilization system due to electromechanical coupling and road surface disturbance during high‐speed combat. A predefined‐time dynamic surface controller (DSCPT) is proposed for the fast stabilization and strong disturbance problems of the tank horizontal ...

Scheduling Bodyguards

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Security agencies around the world use bodyguards to protect government officials and public figures. In this paper, we consider a two‐person zero‐sum game between a defender who allocates such bodyguards to protect several targets and an attacker who chooses one target to attack.

Personalized Differential Privacy for Ridge Regression Under Output Perturbation

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increased application of machine learning (ML) in sensitive domains requires protecting the training data through privacy frameworks, such as differential privacy (DP). Traditional DP enforces a uniform privacy level ε$$ \varepsilon $$, which bounds the maximum privacy loss that each data point in the dataset is allowed to incur.

The Weak Core, Partition‐Based Universal Stability, and Their Risk Associations Through A Partial Order

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Finding Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Sets on Arbitrary Graphs

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 2‐packing set for an undirected, weighted graph G=(V,E,w)$$ G=\left(V,\kern0.3em E,\kern0.3em w\right) $$ is a subset 𝒮⊆V such that any two vertices v1,v2∈𝒮 are not adjacent and have no common neighbors. The Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Set problem that asks for a 2‐packing set of maximum weight is NP$$ \mathbf{NP} $$‐hard. Next to 13 novel data

Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
