DOI: 10.1002/prs.12022
Abstract: Incorporating inherently safer design (ISD) into a process safety program can benefit a site's overall process safety program. However, ISD solutions are rarely capable of being implemented without consideration of various tradeoffs associated with other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10898-017-0581-2
Abstract: We treat uncertain linear programming problems by utilizing the notion of weighted analytic centers and notions from the area of multi-criteria decision making. After introducing our approach, we develop interactive cutting-plane algorithms for robust optimization,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11098-018-1157-9
Abstract: Some propositions are more epistemically important than others. Further, how important a proposition is is often a contingent matter—some propositions count more in some worlds than in others. Epistemic Utility Theory cannot accommodate this fact,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/axioms11050195
Abstract: Under the additional assumption of complete regularity, we furnish a simple characterization of all the topologies such that every continuous total preorder is representable by a continuous utility function. In particular, we prove that a… read more here.
