Non-self-adjoint sixth-order eigenvalue problems arising from clamped elastic thin films on closed domains
Sixth-order boundary value problems (BVPs) arise in thin-film flows with a surface that has elastic bending resistance. We consider the case in which the elastic interface is clamped at the lateral walls of a closed trough and thus encloses a finite amount of fluid. For a slender film undergoing infinitesimal deformations, the displacement of the elastic surface from its initial equilibrium position obeys a sixth-order (in space) initial boundary value problem (IBVP). To solve this IBVP, we con…

Light-IF: Endowing LLMs with Generalizable Reasoning via Preview and Self-Checking for Complex Instruction Following
While advancements in the reasoning abilities of LLMs have significantly enhanced their performance in solving mathematical problems, coding tasks, and general puzzles, their effectiveness in accurately adhering to instructions remains inconsistent, particularly with more complex directives. Our investigation identifies lazy reasoning during the thinking stage as the primary factor contributing to poor instruction adherence. To mitigate this issue, we propose a comprehensive framework designed …

The generalized Chebotarev problem in higher genus
We consider the extension to higher genus Riemann surfaces of the classical Chebotarev problem, with a view towards the development of the theory of Padé\ approximants on algebraic curves. To this end we define an appropriate notion of capacity that mimics the standard one, following works of Chirka and of the author and collaborators. The nontrivial topology of the Riemann surface requires further specification of the ``homotopy class'' of the continua in the solution of the Chebotarev proble…

Apache Flink is uniquely positioned to serve as the backbone for AI agents, equipping them with the powerful new tool of stream processing. At Berlin Buzzword 2025, Steffen Hoellinger discussed how Flink jobs can be transformed into “Agents”—autonomous, goal-driven entities that dynamically interact with data streams, trigger actions, and adapt their behaviour based on real-time insights.
