Supply-side territoriality: reshaping a geopolitical project according to economic means

Convexity According to Means

Given a function f : I → J and a pair of means M and N, on the intervals I and J respectively, we say that f is MN -convex provided that f (M(x, y)) N(f (x), f (y)) for every x , y ∈ I . In this context, we prove the validity of all basic inequalities in Convex Function Theory, such as Jensen’s Inequality and the Hermite-Hadamard Inequality.

Supply-side approaches to the economic valuation of coastal and marine habitat in the Red Sea

Ecosystem service; Supply-side valuation; Traditional fishery; Red Sea; Coral reef; Bio-economics Abstract The degradation of natural fish habitat in the ocean implies lost economic benefits. These value losses often are not measured or anticipated fully, and therefore they are mainly ignored in decisions to develop the coast for industrial or residential purposes. In such circumstances, the oc...

Clustering Project Risks According to Their Interactions

Projects are dealing with bigger stakes and facing an ever-growing complexity. Project risks have then increased in number and criticality. Lists of identified project risks thus need to be decomposed, for smaller clusters are more manageable. Existing techniques are mainly based on a well-known parameter such as the nature of the risk or its criticality. But some limits have appeared since pro...
