Control Node Placement and Structural Controllability of Water Quality Dynamics in Drinking Networks
Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Chlorine, the most widely used disinfectant, needs to be adequately distributed in water distribution networks (WDNs) to maintain consistent residual levels and ensure safe water. This is performed through control node injections at the treatment plant and via booster stations distributed across the WDNs.

Data and Competition: A Simple Framework
The RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 494-510, Winter 2025.ABSTRACT Does enhanced access to data foster or hinder competition among firms? Using a competition‐in‐utility framework that encompasses many situations where firms use data, we model data as a revenue‐shifter and identify two opposite effects: a mark‐up effect according to which data induces firms to compete harder, and a surplus‐extraction effect ...

Multimodal Hierarchical Dirichlet Process-Based Active Perception by a Robot
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018 In this paper, we propose an active perception method for recognizing object categories based on the multimodal hierarchical Dirichlet process (MHDP). The MHDP enables a robot to form object categories using multimodal information, e.g., visual, auditory,

Multivariate Incomplete Information in the Mixture Model of Contests
The RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 607-624, Winter 2025.ABSTRACT A general mixture model of contests is introduced, combining stochastic performance and multivariate incomplete information. Performance is determined by a mixture distribution with endogenous weights on a good and bad distribution, respectively.

Dynamic Stepsize Techniques in DR-Submodular Maximization
MathematicsThe Diminishing-Return (DR)-submodular function maximization problem has garnered significant attention across various domains in recent years. Classic methods often employ continuous greedy or Frank–Wolfe approaches to tackle this problem; however, high

Submodular Functions and Perfect Graphs
Mathematics of Operations ResearchWe give a combinatorial polynomial-time algorithm to find a maximum weight independent set in perfect graphs of bounded degree that do not contain a prism or a hole of length four as an induced subgraph. An even pair in a graph is a pair of vertices all induced paths between which are even.
