Repelled Point Processes With Application to Numerical Integration
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We look at Monte Carlo numerical integration from a stochastic geometry point of view. While crude Monte Carlo estimators relate to linear statistics of a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), linear statistics of more regularly spread point processes can yield unbiased estimators with faster‐decaying variance, and thus lower integration ...

Existence of Full Replica Symmetry Breaking for the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick Model at Low Temperature
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 7, Page 1746-1770, July 2026.ABSTRACT We verify the existence of full replica symmetry breaking (FRSB) for the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick (SK) model and determine the structure of its Parisi measure slightly beyond the high temperature regime. More specifically, we prove that the support of the Parisi measure for the SK model consists of an interval starting at the origin slightly ...

THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, Volume 92, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Digital platforms act as value distributors that enable and facilitate the delivery of value to potentially large numbers of users, also in the more resource‐stricken areas in the Global South. However, the key requirement for distributing any kind of value is that users can access the platforms, which is far from given due to factors such as ...

Building centaur responders: is emergency management ready for artificial intelligence?
Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract This article examines the preparedness of emergency management (EM) for addressing questions pertaining to artificial intelligence (AI), encompassing its benefits to EM missions, the potential biases, the societal impacts, and more. We pinpoint two key shortcomings in early EM research on AI: (i) insufficient discussion of both AI's history ...
