$\ell_{1}^{2}-η\ell_{2}^{2}$ regularization for sparse recovery
This paper presents a regularization technique incorporating a non-convex and non-smooth term, $\ell_{1}^{2}-η\ell_{2}^{2}$, with parameters $0<η\leq 1$ designed to address ill-posed linear problems that yield sparse solutions. We explore the existence, stability, and convergence of the regularized solution, demonstrating that the $\ell_{1}^{2}-η\ell_{2}^{2}$ regularization is well-posed and results in sparse solutions. Under suitable source conditions, we establish a convergence rate of $\m…

Powers of 2 in High-Dimensional Lattice Walks
Let $W_d(n)$ be the number of $2n$-step walks in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ which begin and end at the origin. We study the exponent of $2$ in the prime factorisation of this number; i.e., $w_d(n) = ν_2(W_d(n))$. We show that, for each $d$, there is a relationship between $w_d(n)$ and the number $s_2(n)$ of $1$s in the binary expansion of $n$. For example, $w_d(n) = s_2(n)$ if $d$ is odd and $w_d(n) = 2s_2(n)$ if $ν_2(d) = 1$; while $w_d(n) \ge 3s_2(n)$ if $ν_2(d) = 2$. The pattern changes further when …

Let $\mathbb{X}$ be a Geigle-Lenzing projective plane of type $(2,2,2,p)$ and $\mathsf{coh} \mathbb{X}$ the category of coherent sheaves on $\mathbb{X}$.

We discuss the application of the Jordanian quantum algebra $\mathcal{U}_h (\mathfrak{sl}(2, \mathbb{R}))$, as a Hopf algebra deformation of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(2, \mathbb{R})$, in the context of entanglement properties of quantum states. For them, several kind of entanglement measures and fidelities are obtained, parametrized by the deformation parameter $h$. In particular, we construct the associated $h$-deformed Dicke states on $\mathfrak{sl}(2, \mathbb{R})$, comparing them to the…

CIRO7.2: A Material Network with Circularity of -7.2 and Reinforcement-Learning-Controlled Robotic Disassembler
The competition over natural reserves of minerals is expected to increase in part because of the linear-economy paradigm based on take-make-dispose. Simultaneously, the linear economy considers end-of-use products as waste rather than as a resource, which results in large volumes of waste whose management remains an unsolved problem. Since a transition to a circular economy can mitigate these open issues, in this paper we begin by enhancing the notion of circularity based on compartmental dynam…

For a compact space $Y$, we view $C(Y\times S^1)$ as the crossed product $C(Y)\rtimes\mathbb{Z}$, with $\mathbb{Z}$ acting trivially. This allows us to study Rieffel projections in $M_2(C(Y\times S^1))$: we characterize them and compute their image under the projection $\partial_0:K_0(C(Y\times S^1))\rightarrow K_1(C(Y))$. We provide a new Rieffel projection in $M_2(C(\mathbb{T}^2))$, different from Loring's one, and involving only trigonometric polynomials plus the square root of $2-e^{2πiθ}…

Equations defining Jacobians with Real Multiplication
If $C:y^2=x(x-1)(x-a_1)(x-a_2)(x-a_3)$ is genus $2$ curve a natural question to ask is: Under what conditions on $a_1,a_2,a_3$ does the Jacobian $J(C)$ have real multiplication by $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrtΔ]$ for some $Δ>0$. Over a hundred years ago Humbert gave an answer to this question for $Δ=5$ and $Δ=8$.

Non-conformal Line Defect (Shell Operator) in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$: Spinning and Higher Point Correlators
Recently, a special type of non-conformal line defect, known as thin-shell operator, has played a key role in demonstrating the chaotic nature of the high energy sector in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$. The chaotic nature was revealed concretely through a matching among the vacuum Virasoro block in holographic CFT$_2$, ETH analysis, and gravitational on-shell partition function in AdS$_3$ with nontrivial backreaction. In this work, we generalize this matching in two ways. First, we compute two-point correlat…

The full formula for the probability of "success" is:
p = {
1/(2^(-n 1)) if n is negative, or
1 - (1/(2^(n 1))) if n is zero or positive
}
(Both branches have the same value when n is 0, so the behavior is smooth around the origin.)
How can we tweak this?
First, we can introduce fixed success and/or failure chances unaffected by level, with this formula only taking effect if those don't apply. For example, you could do 10% failure, 80% by formula, and 10% success to keep things from being too sure either way even when levels are very high or low. On the other hand, this flattening makes the benefit of extra advantage levels even less exciting.
Second, we could allow for gradations of success/failure, and treat the coin pools I used to explain that math like dice pools a bit. An in-between could require linearly more success flips to achieve the next higher grade of success at each grade. For example, simple success on a crit role might mean dealing 1.5x damage, but if you succeed on 2 of your flips, you get 9/4 damage, or on 4 flips 27/8, or on 7 flips 81/16. In this world, stacking crit levels might be a viable build, and just giving up on armor would be super dangerous. In the particular case I was using this for just now, I can't easily do gradations of success (that's the reason I turned to probabilities in the first place) but I think I'd favor this approach when feasible.
The main innovation here over simple dice pools is how to handle situations where the number of dice should be negative. I'm almost certain it's not a truly novel innovation though, and some RPG fan can point out which system already does this (please actually do this, I'm an RPG nerd too at heart).
I'll leave this with one more tweak we could do: what if the number 2 in the probability equation were 3, or 2/3? I think this has a similar effect to just scaling all the modifiers a bit, but the algebra escapes me in this moment and I'm a bit lazy. In any case, reducing the base of the probability exponent should let you get a few more gradations near 50%, which is probably a good thing, since the default goes from 25% straight to 50% and then to 75% with no integer stops in between.

Hamilton cycles in tough $(2P_2 \cup P_1)$-free graphs
In 1973, Chvátal conjectured that there exists a constant $t_0$ such that every $t_0$-tough graph on at least three vertices is Hamiltonian. While this conjecture is still open, work has been done to confirm it for several graph classes, including all $F$-free graphs for every 5-vertex linear forest $F$ other than $P_5$ and $2P_2\cup P_1$. In this note, we show that 11-tough $(2P_2 \cup P_1)$-free graphs on at least three vertices are Hamiltonian.

On generalised Pythagorean triples over number fields
Generalised Pythagorean triples are integer tuples $(x,y,z)$ satisfying the equation $E_{a,b,c}: ax^2+by^2+cz^2=0$. A significant amount of research has been devoted towards understanding generalised Pythagorean triples and, in particular, we can now determine whether $E_{a,b,c}$ has solutions and find them in a computationally effective manner. In this paper, we consider an extension of generalised Pythagorean triples to number fields $K$. In particular, we survey and extend the existing res…

Meeting a Challenge raised by Ekhad and Zeilberger related to Stern's Triangle
This paper resolves an open problem raised by Ekhad and Zeilberger for computing $ω(10000)$, which is related to Stern's triangle. While $ν(n)$, defined as the sum of squared coefficients in $\prod_{i=0}^{n-1} (1 + x^{2^i} + x^{2^{i+1}})$, admits a rational generating function, the analogous function $ω(n)$ for $\prod_{i=0}^{n-1} (1 + x^{2^i+1} + x^{2^{i+1}+1})$ presents substantial computational difficulties due to its complex structure. We develop a method integrating constant term techn…

On the Vertices of Delta-modular Polyhedra
Let $P$ be a polytope defined by the system $A x \leq b$, where $A \in R^{m \times n}$, $b \in R^m$, and $\text{rank}(A) = n$. We give a short geometric proof of the following tight upper bound on the number of vertices of $P$: $$ n! \cdot \fracΔ{Δ_{\text{average}}} \cdot \text{vol}(B_2) \sim \frac{1}{\sqrt{πn}} \cdot \left(\frac{2 π}{e}\right)^{n/2} \cdot n^{n/2} \cdot \fracΔ{Δ_{\text{average}}}, $$ where $Δ$ is the maximum absolute value of $n \times n$ subdeterminants of $A$, and $�…

The Domination and Secure Domination Numbers of Direct Product of Cliques with Paths and Cycles
In this paper, we obtain the exact values of several domination parameters for the direct product of a complete graph with a path or a cycle. Specifically, we determine the domination number, independent domination number, $[1,2]$-domination number, secure domination number, and 2-domination number for this family of graphs. We show that, in these graphs, the independent domination number and the $[1,2]$-domination number coincide with the domination number, while the secure domination number c…
