Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global imperatives, such as climate change, environmental concerns, and carbon emissions, make green transformation an inevitability in the logistics sector. Green logistics strategy formulation is an economic choice problem, but it also turns out to be a multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) process that encompasses the triple bottom line (TBL)

Conflict-free trajectory planning based on the model predictive control theory [PDF]
Archives of Transport, 2016 Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a model-based control method based on a receding horizon approach and online optimization. A key advantage of MPC is that it can accommodate constraints on the inputs and outputs.

Nancy: An efficient parallel Network Calculus library
SoftwareX, 2022 This paper describes Nancy, a Network Calculus (NC) library that allows users to perform complex min-plus and max-plus algebra operations efficiently. To the best of our knowledge, Nancy is the only open-source library that implements operations working ...

Stochastic Gradient Descent in High Dimensions for Multi‐Spiked Tensor PCA
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the high‐dimensional dynamics of online stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for the multi‐spiked tensor model. This multi‐index model arises from the tensor principal component analysis (PCA) problem with multiple spikes, where the goal is to estimate the unknown signal vectors within the N$N$‐dimensional unit sphere through maximum ...

Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

From Ambition to Authenticity: How Transparent Sustainability Practices Rebuild Stakeholder Trust
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stakeholder trust is central to advancing sustainable development, yet it is increasingly strained as corporate sustainability commitments expand faster than verifiable performance. This study examines how authenticity and transparency in corporate sustainability practices influence the formation and maintenance of stakeholder trust under ...

Algebraic Solution of Tropical Best Approximation Problems
Mathematics, 2023 We introduce new discrete best approximation problems, formulated and solved in the framework of tropical algebra, which deals with semirings and semifields with idempotent addition.

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary We study an important, but largely overlooked, non‐market strategy used by firms in the enforcement stage of policy: “snitching,” that is, providing intelligence about potential violations of their rivals in an attempt to persuade regulators to fine them.

Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2013 Ultradiscretization with negative values is a long-standing problem and several attempts have been made to solve it. Among others, we focus on the symmetrized max-plus algebra, with which we ultradiscretize the discrete sine-Gordon equation.
