Dynamic Pricing With Recommendation and Consumer Feedback

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A long‐lived seller sells a new product of unknown value by offering prices and recommendations to short‐lived consumers in continuous time. The seller receives consumer feedback about the product at a rate that increases with the instantaneous sales volume.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

A new family of models with generalized orientation in data envelopment analysis

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis, we review directional models and show that they are inadequate when inputs and outputs are improved simultaneously under constant returns to scale. Conversely, we introduce a new family of quadratically constrained models with generalized orientation and demonstrate that these models overcome this

Vessel arrival planning with full information

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Planning efficiency and timely arrival of vessels is crucial to smooth operations of maritime transport networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing operational costs. Coordination between vessel operators and terminals has the potential to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and waiting time.

Tariff: The Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary?

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider the welfare impacts of US tariff policy at levels proposed by President Donald J. Trump. General‐equilibrium simulations under a widely used transparent one‐sector trade model reveal sizable US welfare losses. When we extend the model to include bilateral firm selection and high resolution input–output linkages, the US losses ...

Nonparametric efficiency and artificial intelligence techniques in higher education: a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1427-1464, May 2026.
Abstract In a sector that needs to work as efficient as possible, artificial intelligence (AI) can guide the efficiency improvements of higher education institutions (HEIs). This paper explores both the AI literature and the efficiency literature as applied to HEIs following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review guidelines. The goal is to

Data‐Based Refinement of Parametric Uncertainty Descriptions

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 3210-3228, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We consider dynamical systems with a linear fractional representation involving parametric uncertainties which are either constant or varying with time. Given a finite‐horizon input‐state or input‐output trajectory of such a system, we propose a numerical scheme which iteratively improves the available knowledge about the involved constant ...

Robust Adaptive Model Predictive Control for Tracking in Interconnected Systems via Distributed Optimization

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 2907-2926, 25 March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a novel Distributed Robust Adaptive Model Predictive Control (DRAMPC) for tracking in multi‐agent systems. The framework is designed to work with dynamically coupled subsystems and limited communication, which is restricted to local neighborhoods.

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 5, 4 March 2026.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Hopfield Neural Networks for Online Constrained Parameter Estimation With Time‐Varying Dynamics and Disturbances

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 544-564, March 2026.
This paper proposes two projector‐based Hopfield neural network (HNN) estimators for online, constrained parameter estimation under time‐varying data, additive disturbances, and slowly drifting physical parameters. The first is a constraint‐aware HNN that enforces linear equalities and inequalities (via slack neurons) and continuously tracks the ...
