Probabilistic methods in additive number theory exploit randomness to reveal typical structural features of sums and differences of integers. Originating in pioneering work on random sumsets, these ...

The design and construction of capital projects can be extremely complex. Uncertainty and risk add to this complexity and, as a result, many projects experience significant cost overruns and schedule ...

Spanning long distances across variable terrains, electric power systems can spark wildfires in the event of dry weather and high winds. This may occur when conductor cables oscillate in such a way to ...

Probabilistic Safety Assessments (PSA), which was introduced in the 1970s as complement to deterministic safety analysis methods, is a well-established tool that supports design and safety assessment ...

Across modern data-intensive disciplines, the union of numerical computation, statistics, and machine learning has become ...

Project Delivery Methods have expanded dramatically. The integration of design and construction on projects can reduce the project schedule and allow for construction and property management input ...
