TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a model of electoral competition where, although some voters oppose violence, it is effective in intimidating swing voters, and show that in equilibrium a weak challenger will use violence, which corresponds to a terrorism strategy, and a nationally weak incumbent will use repression.
Abstract: Post-Soviet African democratization has introduced elections into contexts that often lack restraints upon the behavior of candidates, resulting in the emergence of voter intimidation, vote-buying, and ballot fraud. We propose a model of electoral competition where, although some voters oppose violence, it is effective in intimidating swing voters. We show that in equilibrium a weak challenger will use violence, which corresponds to a terrorism strategy. Similarly, a nationally weak incumbent will use repression. However, a stronger incumbent facing local competition will prefer to use bribery or ballot fraud. We discuss the applicability of the model to several African elections.

TL;DR: This article takes a close look at the strongest evidence of implicit mentalizing in adults, which suggests that people automatically represent what others see, intend, and believe, and suggests that the same domain-general processes can provide a fast and efficient alternative tomentalizing in everyday life.
Abstract: The nativist view of mentalizing—the view that humans have an inherent capacity to think about the mental states of others—has been recently reinvigorated by reports that adults and infants automat...

TL;DR: This work forms a constrained optimization that aims to minimize power losses subject to finite inverter capacity and upper and lower voltage limits at all nodes in the circuit and explores protocols based on the dual-ascent method and on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs), finding that the ADMM protocol performs significantly better.
Abstract: We formulate the control of reactive power generation by photovoltaic inverters in a power distribution circuit as a constrained optimization that aims to minimize reactive power losses subject to finite inverter capacity and upper and lower voltage limits at all nodes in the circuit. When voltage variations along the circuit are small and losses of both real and reactive powers are small compared to the respective flows, the resulting optimization problem is convex. Moreover, the cost function is separable enabling a distributed, on-line implementation with node-local computations using only local measurements augmented with limited information from the neighboring nodes communicated over cyber channels. Such an approach lies between the fully centralized and local policy approaches previously considered. We explore protocols based on the dual ascent method and on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) and find that the ADMM protocol performs significantly better.
