Japan doesn’t have too many tourists. It has too many tourists being sent to the same places. Until that changes, talks on solving overtourism will just remain recycled rhetoric. As Japan continues to ...

Abstract: This article innovatively combines the empirical distribution characteristics of random fuzzy variables to propose a new Wasserstein distributionally robust equilibrium optimization method ...

Traditional probability-based structural reliability analysis method can only consider random uncertainties described by random distribution functions, which required sufficient experimental samples.

A variation of a puzzle called the “pick-up sticks problem” asks the following question: If I have some number of sticks with random lengths between 0 and 1, what are the chances that no three of ...
