Optimal Designs and Inspection Time Decisions for Gamma Accelerated Degradation Tests

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analytically derives optimal designs for gamma accelerated degradation tests while incorporating inspection time as a design variable under both D‐ and V‐optimality criteria. Under D‐optimality, we prove that the optimal design allocates test units exclusively to the lowest and highest stress levels and adopts the longest inspection

The 2‐D Orthogonal Packing Problem With Multiple Levels of Prioritization: A Spatial Optimization Perspective

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses two‐dimensional orthogonal packing within a confined space, integrating bin packing principles with facility layout concepts to address scenarios in which items must not only fit but also be arranged according to spatial priorities.

Consistency of Kernel Estimators of Heteroscedastic and Autocorrelated Covariance Matrices [PDF]

open access: yes
Conditions are derived for the consistency of kernel estimators of the covariance matrix of a sum of vectors of dependent heterogeneous random variables, which match those of the currently best-known conditions for the central limit theorem, as required ...

Simultaneous Network Design With Restricted Link Usage

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given a digraph with two terminal vertices s$$ s $$ and t$$ t $$ as well as a conservative cost function and several not necessarily disjoint color classes on its arc set, our goal is to find a minimum‐cost subset of the arcs such that its intersection with each color class contains an s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$ dipath.

A tipping point for tipping points

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Tipping points (TPs) – often understood as abrupt changes to a system – have become a popular framework for ecology and environmental science across spatial and temporal scales. The underlying, quantitative foundation of TP theory is built on mathematical models from catastrophe and predator–prey theories.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

open access: yesOikos, 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 ...
