We propose a new model for landslide dynamics under the assumption of a delay failure mechanism. Delay failure is simulated as a delayed interaction between adjacent blocks, which mimics the relationship between the accumulation and feeder part of th...

The convergence rate for free-distribution functional data analyses is challenging. It requires some advanced pure mathematics functional analysis tools. This paper aims to bring several contributions to the existing functional data analysis literatu...

We propose to use a particular case of Kaniadakis’ logarithm for the exploratory analysis of compositional data following the Aitchison approach. The affine information geometry derived from Kaniadakis’ logarithm provides a consistent set...

This comprehensive treatise is written for the special occasion of the author’s 70th birthday. It presents his lifelong endeavors and reflections with original reasoning and re-interpretations of the most critical and sometimes misleading issue...

In view of some recent reports on global wealth inequality, where a small number (often a handful) of people own more wealth than 50% of the world’s population, we explored if kinetic exchange models of markets could ever capture features where...

Nowadays, various fields in environmental sciences require the availability of appropriate techniques to exploit the information given by multivariate spatial or spatio-temporal observations. In particular, radon flux data which are of high interest...

For multi-class classification problems, a new kernel-free nonlinear classifier is presented, called the hard quadratic surface least squares regression (HQSLSR). It combines the benefits of the least squares loss function and quadratic kernel-free t...

In this work, we investigate a novel intelligent surface-assisted multiuser multiple-input single-output multiple-eavesdropper (MU-MISOME) secure communication network where an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is deployed to enhance the secrecy p...

In this paper, the safe optimal control method for continuous-time (CT) nonlinear safety-critical systems with asymmetric input constraints and unmatched disturbances based on the adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) is investigated. Initially, a new n...

Trajectory prediction is an essential task in many applications, including autonomous driving, robotics, and surveillance systems. In this paper, we propose a novel trajectory prediction network, called TFBNet (trajectory feature-boosting network), t...
