The choice argument for proportional representation

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract What electoral system should a democracy choose? I argue for proportional representation (PR). My main empirical premise is Duverger's law: Under PR there are more viable candidates in district‐level elections than there are under single‐member plurality (SMP) systems.

Entropy increase in switching systems

, 2013
The relation between the complexity of a time-switched dynamics and the complexity of its control sequence depends critically on the concept of a non-autonomous pullback attractor.

The Legacy of Policy Inaction in Climate‐Growth Models

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To better understand the structure and core mechanisms of a broad class of climate‐growth models, we study a simplified version of the dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE) through the lens of growth theory. We analytically show that this model features a continuum of saddle‐point stable steady states.

Some results on the entropy of nonautonomous dynamical systems [PDF]

, 2020
In this paper we advance the entropy theory of discrete nonautonomous dynamical systems that was initiated by Kolyada and Snoha in 1996. The first part of the paper is devoted to the measure-theoretic entropy theory of general topological systems.

A spectral dichotomy version of the nonautonomous Markus-Yamabe conjecture [PDF]

, 2020
In this article we introduce a nonautonomous version of the Markus-Yamabe conjecture from an exponential dichotomy spectrum point of view. We prove the validity of this conjecture for the scalar and triangular case.

Collaborative platooning and routing for mixed fleets of electric automated vehicles and conventional trucks

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

Approximate controllability of second-order impulsive integro-differential systems involving state-dependent delay and damping effects via resolvent operator

On the dynamics of nonautonomous periodic general dynamical systems and differential inclusions

, 2006
We establish the existence and stability results for periodic nonautonomous uniform forward attractors of periodic general dynamical systems (set-valued dynamical systems). We also investigate the dynamical behavior of nonautonomous periodic differential

Bioelectrical Interfaces Beyond Excitable Cells: Cancer, Aging, and Gene Expression Modulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 10, 19 May 2026.
ABSTRACT The investigation of biological conductivity has evolved from its classical foundation based on ionic fluxes underpinning cardiac and neuronal excitability to a multifaceted regulator of cellular physiology. Traditional approaches for probing electrical events in living matter focused largely on action potentials recording.

Noise expresses exponential growth under regime switching [PDF]

, 2009
Consider a given system under regime switching whose solution grows at most polynomially, and suppose that the system is subject to environmental noise in some regimes. Can the regime switching and the environmental noise work together to make the system
