DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2016.5674
Abstract: Importance Although many older adults prefer to avoid burdensome interventions with limited ability to preserve their functional status, aggressive treatments, including surgery, are common near the end of life. Shared decision making is critical to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00158-019-02411-7
Abstract: In this article, a topology optimization method is developed, which is aware of material uncertainties. The uncertainties are handled in a worst-case sense, i.e., the worst possible material distribution over a given uncertainty set is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10444-020-09767-1
Abstract: We study worst-case optimal approximation of positive linear functionals in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces induced by increasingly flat Gaussian kernels. This provides a new perspective and some generalisations to the problem of interpolation with increasingly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10458-021-09526-6
Abstract: We study the classic public project problem, where the agents decide whether or not to build a non-excludable public project. We focus on efficient, strategy-proof, and weakly budget-balanced mechanisms (VCG redistribution mechanisms). Our aim is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10957-020-01781-z
Abstract: Direct Multisearch is a well-established class of algorithms, suited for multiobjective derivative-free optimization. In this work, we analyze the worst-case complexity of this class of methods in its most general formulation for unconstrained optimization. Considering… read more here.
