Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

Fast Reliable Ray-tracing of Procedurally Defined Implicit Surfaces Using Revised Affine Arithmetic

, 2009
Fast and reliable rendering of implicit surfaces is an important area in the field of implicit modelling. Direct rendering, namely ray-tracing, is shown to be a suitable technique for obtaining good-quality visualisations of implicit surfaces. We present

Interdiction Models and Heuristics for Graph Propagation

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given a graph G=(V,E)$$ G=\left(V,E\right) $$ and a set S⊂V$$ S\subset V $$ of activated/infected nodes, we consider the problem of determining the set of c$$ c $$ nodes that minimizes the network propagation on the subgraph that results from the removal of those c$$ c $$ nodes. To measure network propagation, we assume that a node i$$ i $$ is

Calibrating p‐values in ecology: a practical framework for integrating prior plausibility into statistical inference

Oikos, EarlyView.
Misinterpretation of p‐values, coupled with insufficient consideration of the prior plausibility of ecological hypotheses, leads to overconfident and often unreliable inference in ecological research. To address this issue, we present a methodological framework for p‐value calibration that reinterprets conventional p‐values through minimum Bayes ...

From sets and types to topology and analysis towards practicable foundations for constructive mathematics (book review)

, 2006
This book reminded me of another collection of papers, also co-edited by Peter Schuster: Reuniting the antipodes-constructive and nonstandard views on the continuum, Kluwer, 2001. It brought together various non-classical approaches to Analysis. When I

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

Navigating across individual and deliberative values: A dual Q‐method approach to elicit diverse values in grassland restoration

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The current ‘UN Decade on Restoration’ calls for collaboration between scientists and practitioners to formulate guidelines for ecosystem restoration, within which transdisciplinary approaches are imperative to rethink the diverse values associated with nature, paving the way for sustainable ecosystem restoration.
