On the impossibility of deterrence in sequential Colonel Blotto games
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-06)A sequential Colonel Blotto and rent seeking game with fixed and variable resources is analyzed. With fixed resources, which is the assumption in Colonel Blotto games, we show for the common ratio form contest success ... -
On the meaning of and relationship between dragon-kings, black swans and related concepts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03)Different metaphors have been introduced to reflect the occurrence of rare and surprising types of events with extreme impacts, including black swans, grey swans and dragon-kings. Despite considerable research on clarifying ... -
On the numerical discretization of a tumor progression model driven by competing migration mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this work we explore a recently proposed biphasic cell-fluid chemotaxis-Stokes model which is able to represent two competing cancer cell migration mechanisms reported from experimental studies. Both mechanisms depend ... -
On the optimization of actuator saturation limits for LTI systems: an LMI-based invariant ellipsoid approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper considers the problem of optimal actuator dimensioning for LTI systems, in the sense of choosing appropriate saturation limits for a given set of admissible initial conditions and for a predefined integral ... -
On the Performance of Energy Criterion Method in Wi-Fi Transient Signal Detection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01)In the development of radiofrequency fingerprinting (RFF), one of the major challenges is to extract subtle and robust features from transmitted signals of wireless devices to be used in accurate identification of possible ... -
On the relationship between aquaculture and reduction fisheries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004-07)Recently, there has been a growing concern that increased aquaculture production poses an environmental threat to the species targeted in so-called reduction fisheries, the main source for fishmeal. The argument is that ... -
On the Same Wavelength: Surfers’ Perception of Wave Energy Technology
(Master thesis, 2024)In response to the escalating threat of human made climate change, mitigation measures are crucial. One of these measures is the departure from fossil fuels and the introduction of energy from renewable resources. As energy ... -
On the three-dimensional effects of the water entry of wedges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09)Three-dimensional (3D) effects on the total and spanwise slamming coefficients and the pressure reductions acting on the wedge surface during water entry are modeled in a unified manner. First, the water entry of wedges ... -
On the treatment of risk/safety aspects within safety assessment of aviation
(Master thesis, 2023)Safety of aircraft is a hot topic due to the safety-critical nature of its operation and its significant negative impact it could pose to a larger society. In order to understand aviation safety in detail, it is important ... -
On the treatment of uncertainty in innovation projects
(Master thesis, 2021)Innovations encounter a relatively high level of uncertainty in their lifecycle path. As innovations are about implementing a new idea, they suffer from a shortage or lack of knowledge dependent on and directly proportional ... -
On the treatment of uncertainty in Innovation Projects
(Master thesis, 2023)The treatment of uncertainty in innovation projects is a critical aspect that must be addressed to improve project outcomes. This thesis focuses on identifying, measuring, and managing uncertainty in innovation projects, ... -
On the treatment of uncertainty in innovation projects with focus on energy transition.
(Master thesis, 2021)Innovation is the key to growth however, the process of innovation is full of uncertainties. Organizations and project management teams that are open-minded and aware of the uncertainties, can tackle them more cleverly and ... -
On the use of criteria based on the SMART acronym to assess quality of performance indicators for safety management in process industries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Management of safety, and barriers in particular, includes using information expressing performance, i.e. use of safety performance indicators. For this information to be useful, the indicators should demonstrate adequate ... -
