Amendment Thresholds and Voting Rules in Debt Contracts

Journal of Accounting Research, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 181-227, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Most loan contracts in the United States contain a provision for lender voting rules. We study the optimal voting rule that allows lenders to waive a covenant violation. When lenders have heterogeneous preferences, lenient voting rules increase the probability of waivers that allow inefficient investments.

Sand Transport Rate and Turbulent Fluctuation in Aeolian Transportation Over the Gobi Surface Under Extremely High Winds

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract There are no theoretical formulas that can accurately predict the sand transport rate (Qm) over the Gobi surface. We report herein high‐frequency field observations of wind‐blown sand processes over the Gobi surface under extremely high winds in eastern Xinjiang, China. The results reveal that the power‐law exponent of the scaling relationship

Periodic solutions for second-order Hamiltonian systems with the p-Laplacian

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2006
In this paper, we investigate the periodic solutions of Hamiltonian system with the p-Laplacian. By using Mountain Pass Theorem the existence of at least one periodic solution is obtained, Furthermore, under suitable assumptions, we obtain the ...

Existence of solutions for a class of quasilinear degenerate $p(x)$-Laplace equations

Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2018
We study the existence of weak solutions for a degenerate $p(x)$-Laplace equation. The main tool used is the variational method, more precisely, the Mountain Pass Theorem.

Intelligent Sky Computing: A DDPG‐Based Joint Optimization Scheme for Privacy‐Aware Task Offloading in Multi‐UAV Networks

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Exploiting privacy‐aware user task offloading in a multi‐UAV–assisted edge computing system offers a new approach to reduce and balance energy consumption and latency. However, the complexity and variability of operating scenarios can make privacy‐aware user task offloading strategies challenging. This paper examines a system with multiple ground users,

Compactly‐Supported Nonstationary Kernels for Computing Exact Gaussian Processes on Big Data

Environmetrics, Volume 36, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Gaussian process (GP) is a widely used method for analyzing large‐scale data sets, including spatio‐temporal measurements of nonlinear processes that are now commonplace in the environmental sciences. Traditional implementations of GPs involve stationary kernels (also termed covariance functions) that limit their flexibility, and exact ...

High Perturbations of a Fractional Kirchhoff Equation with Critical Nonlinearities

Axioms
This paper concerns a fractional Kirchhoff equation with critical nonlinearities and a negative nonlocal term. In the case of high perturbations (large values of α, i.e., the parameter of a subcritical nonlinearity), existence results are obtained by the
