    • A note on systems with ordinary and impulsive controls 

      Aronna, Maria Soledad; Rampazzo, Franco
      2016
      We investigate an everywhere defined notion of solution for control systems whose dynamics depend non-linearly on the control u and state x, and are affine in the time derivative u˙. For this reason, the input u, which is ...
    • State of the art on functional fabrication 

      Sá, Asla Medeiros; Echavarria, Karina Rodriguez; Pietroni, Nico; Cignoni, Paolo
      2016
      Digital fabrication technologies are becoming of importance to a number of knowledge areas and sectors, including medicine, entertainment, design, engineering, education, arts and architecture, due to their accessibility ...
    • Full Bayesian analysis of claims reserving uncertainty 

      Peters, Gareth W.; Targino, Rodrigo dos Santos; Wüthrich, Mario V.
      2017-01-05
      We revisit the gamma–gamma Bayesian chain-ladder (BCL) model for claims reserving in non-life insurance. This claims reserving model is usually used in an empirical Bayesian way using plug-in estimates for the variance ...
