We study long run carbon dioxide emissions-economic development relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups: North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe. By relying on recent advances on Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) and adopting interaction...

We propose a dynamic graph-theoretic model for ecosystem management as a control over networked system composed of target nodes and unmarked nodes. The network is represented by a complete graph, in which all vertices are connected by a unique edge. Target nodes are attracted by the objective...
