Controlled rough SDEs, pathwise stochastic control and dynamic programming principles

We study stochastic optimal control of rough stochastic differential equations (RSDEs). This is in the spirit of the pathwise control problem (Lions–Souganidis 1998, Buckdahn–Ma 2007; also Davis–Burstein 1992), with renewed interest and recent works drawing motivation from filter...

Capitalizing consumer school ratings into residential listing prices: evidence from Greater Houston

Purpose This paper aims to estimate how much of a consumer-facing school rating is capitalized into the price at which a home is offered for sale and to test whether that rating displaces the official state accountability score in a large metropolitan market that has received lit...

Pontryagin Maximum Principle for Rough Stochastic Systems and Pathwise Stochastic Control

Abstract. We analyze a novel class of rough stochastic control problems that allows for a convenient approach to solving pathwise stochastic control problems with both nonanticipative and anticipative controls. We first establish the well-posedness of a class of controlled rough...

Cultivating a Regional Geoscience Learning Ecosystem: Systemic Equity and Cultural Change in California’s Central Valley

The geosciences remain among the least racially diverse STEM fields, with limited progress over the past four decades. This article presents a case study of the San Joaquin Valley Geoscience Learning Ecosystem, a regional initiative designed to transform institutional culture and...

Which society? Whose power? What nationalism? A response to and questioning of Siniša Malešević and Dominic Hewson

The late Foucault's relative lack of attention to such ‘imagined' categories as nationalism/ideology and modernity, as diagnosed by Malešević and Hewson respectively, and his subsequent veering off toward ancient ‘techniques and cultures of the self’, ought to be linked to his pr...

Presenting Jesus through Direct Speech: Vergegenwärtigung in the Gospel according to Mark

Scholars of the New Testament are, first and foremost, textual and literary scholars – philologists of religious texts charged with the hermeneutical task of interpreting documents from a distant ancient world. 2 At its core, our task is to engage these texts in full length, in t...

Long-Term Average Impulse Control with Mean Field Interactions

Abstract This paper analyzes and explicitly solves a class of long-term average impulse control problems with a specific mean-field interaction. The underlying process is a general one-dimensional diffusion with appropriate boundary behavior. The model is motivated by application...

Beyond Closed-Shell Photochemistry: Singlet Oxygen Generation Driven by 10H-Phenothiazine Radical Cation

Abstract Phenothiazines are widely studied as closed-shell photosensitizers; however, their open-shell oxidized forms remain largely unexplored in photochemical contexts. Here, we investigate the photophysics and reactivity of the radical cation of 10H-phenothiazine (PHT•+) using...

Contested bodies: the Egyptian King and the body of the nation

Mohamed Salah occupies an exceptional position as both a working-class Egyptian hero and a celebrated global sports icon. Within British media, Salah was often hailed as a model of integration, a humble, devout, and successful Muslim man whose professionalism appears to transcend...

Prolific post-fire persistence: resilience and resprouting in the iconic coast redwood

<title>Abstract</title> Background Historically frequent-fire forest ecosystems are now facing increased size, frequency, and severity of fires attributed to climate change, intensive forest management, and fire exclusion. Understanding post-fire resilience in forest ecosystems i...
