Correspondence between Electrostatics and Contact Mechanics with Further Results in Equilibrium Charge Distributions

Annalen der Physik, Volume 535, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
The authors review the connections existing, based on potential theory, between contact mechanics and equilibrium electrostatics. This little known correspondence is exploited so that problems scattered in many works can be easily solved by bringing to light their “duals” in elastic theory.

A standard protocol to report discrete stage‐structured demographic information

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 2065-2083, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Stage‐based demographic methods, such as matrix population models (MPMs), are powerful tools used to address a broad range of fundamental questions in ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation science. Accordingly, MPMs now exist for over 3000 species worldwide.

A numerical scheme for the optimal control of groundwater pollution

Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 3037-3063, July 2023., 2023
Abstract A scheme is proposed for the numerical study of optimal control problems related to groundwater quality management in the case of nonpoint‐source pollution. The corresponding state equation is a system of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations.

Optimal allocations with α‐MaxMin utilities, Choquet expected utilities, and prospect theory

Theoretical Economics, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 993-1022, July 2023., 2023
The analysis of optimal risk sharing has been thus far largely restricted to nonexpected utility models with concave utility functions, where concavity is an expression of ambiguity aversion and/or risk aversion. This paper extends the analysis to α‐maxmin expected utility, Choquet expected utility, and cumulative prospect theory, which accommodate ...

Hidden Markov models: Pitfalls and opportunities in ecology

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 43-56, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) and their extensions are attractive methods for analysing ecological data where noisy, multivariate measurements are made of a hidden, ecological process, and where this hidden process is represented by a sequence of discrete states.

Equipment Development Scheme Decision Based on IFS‐Choquet Integral Improved Matter Element Model

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
An optimized matter element decision method is proposed based on intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and Choquet integral to solve the problems of equipment development scheme decision (e.g., the correlation of scheme attributes and the low decision reliability of evaluation results).

Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem

Networks, Volume 88, Issue 1, Page 59-84, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel combinatorial optimization problem with ordering constraints, termed the Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem (OMTSP). The OMTSP integrates key elements from both the classic Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the Ordered Median Location Problem.

Cost‐Optimal Building Energy System Scheduling Integrating Solar Irradiance Forecasting via LSTM‐Attention‐TCN Model

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 695-708, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Building energy systems integrating multiple energy sources can effectively reduce energy consumption and facilitate renewable energy integration. Integrating electrical energy storage (EES) into these systems helps accommodate the increasing share of renewables; however, the stochastic and intermittent nature of solar power still poses ...

Models in Decision‐Making Under Risk and Uncertainty

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 304-320, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper systematically compares dominant frameworks for modeling decision‐making under risk and uncertainty, evaluating their theoretical trade‐offs and practical relevance for economic research. We establish key criteria for model selection—including predictive accuracy, descriptive realism, computational tractability, and ecological ...
