Compressing Suffix Trees by Path Decompositions
In classic suffix trees, path compression works by replacing unary suffix trie paths with pairs of pointers to $T$, which must be available in the form of some random access oracle at query time. In this paper, we revisit path compression and show that a more careful choice of pointers leads to a new elegant, simple, and remarkably efficient way to compress the suffix tree. We begin by observing that an alternative way to path-compress the suffix trie of $T$ is to decompose it into a set of (di…

Computing Path Signature Varieties in Macaulay2
The signature of a path is a non-commutative power series whose coefficients are given by certain iterated integrals over the path coordinates. This series almost uniquely characterizes the path up to translation and reparameterization. Taking only fixed degree parts of these series yields signature tensors. We introduce the Macaulay2 package $\texttt{PathSignatures}$ to simplify the study of these interesting objects for piecewise polynomial paths. It allows for the creation and manipulation o…

Omni-modal language models (OLMs) aim to integrate and reason over diverse input modalities--such as text, images, video, and audio--while maintaining strong language capabilities. Despite recent advancements, existing models, especially open-source ones, remain far from true omni-modality, struggling to generalize beyond the specific modality pairs they are trained on or to achieve strong performance when processing multi-modal inputs. We study the effect of extending modality, the dominant te…

We study Multi-Robot Coverage Path Planning (MCPP) on a 4-neighbor 2D grid G, which aims to compute paths for multiple robots to cover all cells of G.

To address this limitation, we reformulate the problem directly on G, revolutionizing grid-…

Halfway to induced saturation for even cycles
For graphs $G$ and $H$, we say that $G$ is $H$-free if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to $H$, and that $G$ is $H$-induced saturated if $G$ is $H$-free but removing or adding any edge in $G$ creates an induced copy of $H$. A full characterization of graphs $H$ for which $H$-induced saturated graphs exist remains elusive. Even the case where $H$ is a path -- now settled by the collective results of Martin and Smith, Bonamy et al., and Dvoŕǎk -- was already quite challenging. What if…

Neural Networks for Parameter Estimation of the Discretely Observed Hawkes Process
When the sample path of a Hawkes process is observed discretely, such that only the total event counts in disjoint time intervals are known, the likelihood function becomes intractable. To overcome the challenge of likelihood-based inference in this setting, we propose to use a likelihood-free approach to parameter estimation, where a fully connected neural network (NN) is trained using simulated data to estimate the parameters of the Hawkes process from a summary statistic of the count data.

Despite lacking the Hausdorff property, the space remains second-countable, T1, and path-connected, yet its fundamental group sees only trivial monodromy. This violates intuitive expectations from classical covering theory and invites a systematic rethinking of how separation axioms interact with lifting properties. We offer this spac…

Cyclic polytopes through the lens of iterated integrals
The volume of a cyclic polytope can be obtained by forming an iterated integral along a suitable piecewise linear path running through its edges. Different choices of such a path are related by the action of a subgroup of the combinatorial automorphisms of the polytope. Motivated by this observation, we look for other linear combinations of iterated integrals that are invariant under the subgroup action. This yields interesting polynomial attributes of the cyclic polytope. We prove that there a…

Coalgebraic proof translations for non-wellfounded proofs
Non-wellfounded proof theory results from allowing proofs of infinite height in proof theory. To guarantee that there is no vicious infinite reasoning, it is usual to add a constraint to the possible infinite paths appearing in a proof. Among these conditions, one of the simplest is enforcing that any infinite path goes through the premise of a rule infinitely often. Systems of this kind appear for modal logics with conversely well-founded frame conditions like GL or Grz. In this paper, we pr…

Iion-motion simulations of a plasma-wakefield experiment at FLASHForward
In plasma-based acceleration, an ultra-relativistic particle bunch$\unicode{x2014}$or an intense laser beam$\unicode{x2014}$is used to expel electrons from its propagation path, forming a wake that is devoid of electrons. The ions, being significantly more massive, are often assumed to be stationary. However, both theory and simulations suggest that any sufficiently dense electron bunch can trigger ion motion, and its effect must be taken into account. We simulate beam-driven plasma wakefields …

Halfway to induced saturation for even cycles
For graphs $G$ and $H$, we say that $G$ is $H$-free if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to $H$, and that $G$ is $H$-induced saturated if $G$ is $H$-free but removing or adding any edge in $G$ creates an induced copy of $H$. A full characterization of graphs $H$ for which $H$-induced saturated graphs exist remains elusive. Even the case where $H$ is a path -- now settled by the collective results of Martin and Smith, Bonamy et al., and Dvoŕǎk -- was already quite challenging. What if…

A theory for diffusion-controlled reactions within nonequilibrium steady-states
We study diffusion-controlled processes in nonequilibrium steady-states, where standard rate theory assumptions break down. Using transition path theory, we generalize the relations between reactive probability fluxes and measures of the rate of the reaction. Stochastic thermodynamics analysis reveals how work constrains the enhancement of rates relative to their equilibrium values. An analytically solvable ion-pairing model under a strong electric field illustrates and validates our approach a…
