We present future fire danger scenarios for the countries bordering the Mediterranean areas of Europe and north Africa building on a multi-model ensemble of state-of-the-art regional climate projections from the EU-funded project ENSEMBLES. Fire danger is estimated using the Canadian Forest Fire...

A Lagrangian characterization of the solutions of the consumer problem is provided when preferences are not representable by a continuous utility function. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2000

The existence of an optimal solution of the standard decision problem can characterize the compactness of the feasible set. It is proved that the feasible set is compact if and only if there is a maximal element for any upper semicontinuous preference. Here "preference" means asymmetric and...

In this paper we show how discrete and continuous variables can be combined using parametric conditional families of distributions and how the likelihood weighting method can be used for propagating uncertainty through the network in an efficient manner. To illustrate the method we use, as an...
