Solving Stochastic Climate‐Economy Models: A Deep Least‐Squares Monte Carlo Approach
ABSTRACT Stochastic versions of recursive integrated climate‐economy assessment models are essential for studying and quantifying policy decisions under uncertainty. However, as the number of state variables and stochastic shocks increases, solving these models via deterministic grid‐based dynamic programming (e.g., value‐function iteration/projection ...

Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...

Schematic diagram of the whale optimization algorithm (WOA)–optimized fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller. The WOA is employed to dynamically tune the scaling factor expressions and fuzzy control parameters (a(e)a(e), a(ec)a(ec), βpβp, βiβi), as well as the initial PID gains (kp0kp0, ki0ki0), based on the error (ee) and its ...

Mathematical Modeling of Pulse‐Seeded Metapopulation Dynamics for Andes Hantavirus Border Dispersal
A pulse‐seeded metapopulation SEIR model for Andes hantavirus maritime dispersal shows that heterogeneous quarantine compliance determines secondary outbreak risk. The weakest‐compliance country governs global containment, while uniform compliance above ∼65%$$ \sim 65\% $$ reduces the global reproduction number below unity.

ABSTRACT Determining the credibility of population PK/PD models is a challenge, particularly when performing uncertainty quantification (UQ) for parameter estimates, which is often represented through relative standard error (RSE) values. It is important to note that RSE values are primarily based on the variance of the parameter distribution and is ...

On the Threshold for Triangulations Inside Convex Polygons
ABSTRACT Start with a large convex polygon and add all other edges inside independently with probability p$$ p $$. At what critical threshold pc$$ {p}_c $$ do triangulations of the polygon begin to appear? The first author and Gravner asked this question and observed that pc=Θ(1)$$ {p}_c=\Theta (1) $$, using the relationship with the Catalan numbers ...

Approximate Itai–Zehavi Conjecture for Random Graphs
ABSTRACT A famous conjecture by Itai and Zehavi states that, for every d$$ d $$‐vertex‐connected graph G$$ G $$ and every vertex r$$ r $$ in G$$ G $$, there are d$$ d $$ spanning trees of G$$ G $$ such that, for every vertex v$$ v $$ in G∖{r}$$ G\setminus \left\{r\right\} $$, the paths between r$$ r $$ and v$$ v $$ in different trees are internally ...

AI and Big Data in Consumer Behavior Analysis. ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of digital consumer data has challenged traditional approaches to understanding behavior in digital marketing. Existing reviews often focus on individual methods and give limited guidance on how analytical techniques compare or how they should be selected for specific marketing

Abstract This study examined the relationships between generalized trust, climate change conspiracy beliefs and freecycling – a community‐based free‐item sharing pro‐environmental behaviour. It also explored the role of societal factors in relation to participation in freecycling, as well as how they are associated with these relationships.

Revisiting the Health Spending‐Growth Nexus
ABSTRACT The relationship between health spending and economic growth is shaped by multiple transmission channels, leading to inconsistencies in the empirical literature and a lack of definitive conclusions. To address this issue, we perform a meta‐analysis encompassing 522 estimates from 107 studies that examine the effect of health spending on ...
