Mean‐Variance Payoff Applied to Stackelberg Games

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyse a Stackelberg duopoly in which the leader faces uncertainty about the intercept demand, while the follower observes the realised demand and decides whether to enter the market after the uncertainty is resolved. The leader evaluates the uncertainty by maximising a mean‐variance utility function that captures its risk aversion.

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Interdiction Models and Heuristics for Graph Propagation

Networks, 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

Increasing Obesity Severity Is Associated With Less Surgical Care in the United States

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately 41% of the US population has obesity, though the prevalence of the highest BMI populations (e.g., ≥ 60 kg/m2) is increasing most rapidly. Given the association between obesity and surgical disease burden, we hypothesized that higher BMI groups would account for a growing proportion of operative volume over time.

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

Oikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.
