Enforcement Design and Targeted Deterrence in Professional Sports: Evidence From NBA Anti‐Flopping Reforms

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines strategic responses to alternative enforcement designs in professional basketball. Using NBA player‐level panel data, we study two anti‐flopping reforms: ex post financial fines introduced in 2012–2013 and in‐game technical fouls implemented in 2023–2024.

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

An Elasto–Plastic Hydro–Mechanical Model for Analyzing the Swelling Behavior of Heterogeneous Clay–Sulfate Rocks

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Domain‐adapted driving scene understanding with uncertainty‐aware and diversified generative adversarial networks

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Autonomous vehicles are required to operate in an uncertain environment. Recent advances in computational intelligence techniques make it possible to understand driving scenes in various environments by using a semantic segmentation neural network, which assigns a class label to each pixel.

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...
