In recent years, the impacts of climate change and socioeconomic development on the water-energy-food nexus have been a hot topic. Forecasting future food and energy production and water withdrawal trends under a range of climate and socio-economic scenarios is a critical step for formulating...

In this paper, we prove the max-sum equivalence of random variables satisfying two conditional dependence assumptions. Besides, we also discuss the interrelationship between the above two conditional dependence assumptions. The obtained results improve and generalize some existing results.

China faces the dual challenge of grain production pressure and water scarcity. It is significant to reduce water footprint of grain product (WFGP, m<Superscript>3</Superscript>/t) in irrigated farmland. The focus of grain production and agricultural water use, and the precondition is to determine the WFGP and its...</superscript>

In this paper, asymptotic lower bounds of precise large deviations for non-random sums and random sums of nonnegative random variables (r.v.s) are derived under some fairly weak conditions. The obtained results are used to derive asymptotic lower bounds of precise large deviations in a...

For a dependent risk model with constant interest rate, in which the claim sizes form a sequence of upper tail asymptotically independent and identically distributed random variables, and their inter-arrival times are another sequence of widely lower orthant dependent and identically distributed...
