Coordination of Plug-In Electric Vehicle Charging in a Stochastic Framework: A Decentralized Tax/Incentive-Based Mechanism to Reach Global Optimality

Simone Balmelli, Francesco Moresino • Mathematics (2023)

We address the problem of charging plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in a decentralized way and under stochastic dynamics affecting the real-time electricity tariff. The model is formulated as a Nash equilibrium seeking problem, where player...

A Fractional-Order Complexity Framework for Misinformation Propagation With Fact-Checking Saturation and Social Vulnerability Dynamics

Shewafera Wondimagegnhu Teklu, M. A. Abdelkawy, Waleed Adel • Complexity (2026)

Misinformation spreads through communities in ways that resemble infectious diseases, but existing mathematical models often miss three real-world complexities: People remember past information (memory effects), some folks are more easily f...

Investigating late-time cosmology using Finsler-Randers geometry and Barthel connection: Observational constraints and implications

J. Praveen, S.K. Narasimhamurthy • Nuclear Physics B (2025)

In this study we explore cosmological anisotropies and dark energy using Finsler-Randers geometry, an extension of Riemannian geometry that incorporates directional dependence in the spacetime structure. We investigate whether Finslerian mo...
