A Multi‐Objective Periodic Vehicle Routing Model for Sustainable Healthcare Waste Collection
The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The collection of infectious waste from healthcare facilities (HCF) constitutes a recurring operational challenge. Indeed, despite the inherent health risks posed by the storage and the transportation of infectious materials, most of the existing waste collection systems tends to prioritise cost optimization and to underaddress the safety ...

How Is FinTech Shaping Household Portfolio Behaviour?
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how FinTech adoption influences household portfolio allocation across major advanced economies. Using a flow‐of‐funds framework and the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS), we model household demand for currency, deposits, loans, debt securities, and equity in the United States, United Kingdom, Euro Area, Japan and Australia.

Pick matrix conditions for sign-definite solutions of the algebraic Riccati equation [PDF]
, 2001 We study the existence of positive and negative semidefinite solutions of algebraic Riccati equations (ARE) corresponding to linear quadratic problems with an indefinite cost functional.

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Digitalization and emerging technologies are increasing the demand for wireless sensing and the Internet of Things (IoT), which provide opportunities for autonomous sources of electricity in the form of energy harvesting systems. This paper focuses on the challenges in hybrid piezoelectric‐electromagnetic kinetic energy harvesting systems that

A Rank‐Based CUSUM Monitoring Scheme for Time Between Events and Amplitude Data
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Monitoring time between events and amplitude (TBEA) data is critical in many applications, particularly in manufacturing, reliability engineering, and service operations. Yet, most existing TBEA control charts focus on a single quality characteristic and are typically developed under restrictive distributional assumptions.

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 ...

Initial State Privacy of Nonlinear Systems on Riemannian Manifolds
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate initial state privacy protection for discrete‐time nonlinear closed systems. By capturing Riemannian geometric structures inherent in such privacy challenges, we refine the concept of differential privacy through the introduction of an initial state adjacency set based on Riemannian distances.

Spatial circular matrices, with applications [PDF]
The cumulants of the quadratic forms associated to the so-called spatial design matrices are often needed for inference in the context of isotropic processes on uniform grids.

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.Machine learning provides a unifying framework to connect structure, fluorescence properties, and applications of carbon‐based quantum dots. This review highlights how data‐driven strategies enable fluorescence regulation, reveal underlying mechanisms, and accelerate the rational design of functional carbon dots.
