Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to provide useful approximations for the computation of g‐renewal function, since no closed form solution of such a function is available Design/methodology/approach – One of the methods uses a simple identity to obtain an approximation. The second...

This paper presents a dynamic model of criminal choice in which an offender's probability of arrest depends on his level of criminal activity as well as the actions of the criminal justice system. In addition, current choices affect future outcomes through a stock accumulation process. We...

In this paper, a new algorithm for RBF centers initialization for functional approximation problems is proposed. The design of the algorithm is inspired in previous clustering algorithms but adding some features to adapt the algorithm to the characteristics of our problem. We compare the results...
