Consensus as a Nash Equilibrium of a Stochastic Differential Game

European Journal of Statistics, 2023
In this paper a consensus has been constructed in a social network which is modeled by a stochastic differential game played by agents of that network. Each agent independently minimizes a cost function which represents their motives. A conditionally expected integral cost function has been considered under an agent’s opinion filtration.

Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Continuous dependence estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2002
Using the maximum principle for semicontinuous functions [3,4], we prove a general ``continuous dependence on the nonlinearities'' estimate for bounded Holder continuous viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations.

What Really Drives Agri‐Environment‐Climate Measures' Adoption? Mandatory Requirements, Behavioral Traits, and Structural Factors in the CAP Green Architecture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To increase farmer adoption of green practices, the EU Common Agricultural Policy includes both mandatory (conditionality) and voluntary instruments (eco‐schemes–ECS– and more demanding, multi‐annual agri‐environment‐climate measures –AECM–). Building on the experiment of Barreiro‐Hurle et al.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Risk sensitive stochastic control and differential games [PDF]

Communications in Information and Systems, 2006
We give a concise introduction to risk sensitive control of Markov diffusion processes and related two-controller, zero-sum differential games. The method of dynamic programming for the risk sensitive control problem leads to a nonlinear partial differential equation of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman type. In the totally risk sensitive limit, this becomes the

Modeling the separation of water‐in‐oil emulsions in continuously fed gravity settlers using millifluidic experiments

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

Toward Knowledge‐Guided AI for Inverse Design in Manufacturing: A Perspective on Domain, Physics, and Human–AI Synergy

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights how knowledge‐guided artificial intelligence can address key challenges in manufacturing inverse design, including high‐dimensional search spaces, limited data, and process constraints. It focused on three complementary pillars—expert‐guided problem definition, physics‐informed machine learning, and large language model ...
