Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We suggest a modified version of the nonnegative matrix factorization problem, adding penalty terms to the model with the aim of taking control of the condition number of the decomposition elements. This measure is taken to reinforce computational stability in the solution path of the relevant optimization model.

Disease Transmission on Random Graphs Using Edge‐Based Percolation
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Edge‐based percolation methods can be used to analyze disease transmission on complex social networks. This allows us to include complex social heterogeneity in our models while maintaining tractability. Here, we begin by reviewing the seminal works on this field in previous studies by Newman et al. (2002, 2003) and Miller et al. (2012).

I build on Thornton's analysis of club culture to characterize the subcultural vape industry as a community of taste built round a masculine aesthetic and a commitment to ...
