Testing, Evaluation, Verification and Validation (TEVV) of Digital Twins: A Comprehensive Framework
Digital twins have emerged as a powerful technology for modeling and simulating complex systems across various domains (Fuller et al., 2020; Tao et al., 2019). As virtual representations of physical assets, processes, or systems, digital twins enable real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and optimization. However, as digital twins become more sophisticated and integral to decision-making processes, ensuring their accuracy, reliability, and ethical implementation is essential. This paper pr…

Truthful, Credible, and Optimal Auctions for Matroids via Blockchains and Commitments
We consider a revenue-optimizing auctioneer in single-dimensional environments with matroid feasibility constraints. Akbarpour and Li (2020) argue that any revenue-optimal, truthful, and credible mechanism requires unbounded communication. Recent works (Ferreira and Weinberg, 2020; Essaidi et al., 2022; Chitra et al., 2024) circumvent their impossibility for the single-item setting through the use of cryptographic commitments and blockchains. We extend their results to matroid feasibility const…

Expressive Power of Graph Transformers via Logic
Transformers are the basis of modern large language models, but relatively little is known about their precise expressive power on graphs. We study the expressive power of graph transformers (GTs) by Dwivedi and Bresson (2020) and GPS-networks by Rampásek et al. (2022), both under soft-attention and average hard-attention. Our study covers two scenarios: the theoretical setting with real numbers and the more practical case with floats. With reals, we show that in restriction to vertex properti…

Exceptional Hermite Polynomials and Calogero-Moser Pairs
There are two equivalent descriptions of George Wilson's adelic Grassmannian $Gr^{ad}$, one in terms of differential ``conditions'' and another in terms of Calogero-Moser Pairs. The former approach was used in the 2020 paper by Kasman-Milson which found that each family of Exceptional Hermite Polynomials has a generating function which lives in $Gr^{ad}$. This suggests that Calogero-Moser Pairs should also be useful in the study of Exceptional Hermite Polynomials, but no researchers have pursue…

Characterization of Higher-Order Sobolev Spaces on the Sphere via Generalized Averaging of Function
We present a new characterization of higher-order Sobolev spaces on the sphere. Building on the approach of Barceló et al. (2020), we refine the square function they introduced for this purpose. In particular, we provide a detailed analysis of the weight function and the averaging range in its definition. Our results demonstrate that averaging can be performed using a weight function from a broad class, and that the averaging domain can be restricted to a local coordinate patch on the sphere.

Everybody is wondering if some ICE agents are actually just bounty hunters, and that's possible but not super likely. What's much more likely is that a good chunk of the agents deployed today are the American equivalent of Wagner, which is currently named "Tripple Canopy" but you probably know as "Blackwater."
It's reasonably likely that the mercenaries who were grabbing people off the streets in Portland in 2020 are back at it for round 2. After all, this is just another opportunity for Trump to dump money in Erik Prince's pocket and wouldn't it be good for Trump to have a man on his side who happens to own a private army?

A Generic Construction of $q$-ary Near-MDS Codes Supporting 2-Designs with Lengths Beyond $q+1$
A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n - k + 1]$ is called maximum distance separable (MDS), and one with parameters $[n, k, n - k]$ is called almost MDS (AMDS). A code is near-MDS (NMDS) if both it and its dual are AMDS. NMDS codes supporting combinatorial $t$-designs have attracted growing interest, yet constructing such codes remains highly challenging. In 2020, Ding and Tang initiated the study of NMDS codes supporting 2-designs by constructing the first infinite family, followed by severa…

Symmetry and symmetry breaking in interpolation inequalities for two-dimensional spinors -- Preliminary results
On the two-dimensional Euclidean space, we study a spinorial analogue of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality involving weighted gradient norms. This (SCKN) inequality is equivalent to a spinorial Gagliardo-Nirenberg type interpolation inequality on a cylinder as well as to an interpolation inequality involving Aharonov-Bohm magnetic fields, which was analyzed in a paper of 2020. We examine the symmetry properties of optimal functions by linearizing the associated functional around radial m…

Boundedness of certain multiple Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral operators on the Hardy space $H^1$
In this paper, we establish the boundedness of the multiple Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral operators involving Fox's $H$-function on the Hardy space $H^1$. Our results generalize recent results of Kwok-Pun Ho [Proyecciones 39 (3) (2020), 663--677]. Some useful connections related to the Hausdorff operators are also mentioned.

Do Large Language Models Judge Error Severity Like Humans?
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as automated evaluators in natural language generation, yet it remains unclear whether they can accurately replicate human judgments of error severity. In this study, we systematically compare human and LLM assessments of image descriptions containing controlled semantic errors. We extend the experimental framework of van Miltenburg et al. (2020) to both unimodal (text-only) and multimodal (text + image) settings, evaluating four error types: a…

Melting down a tetraquark: $D^{\ast}D^{(\ast)}$ interactions and $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ in a hot environment
We discuss the modification of the properties of the tetraquark-like $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and its heavy quark spin partner, $T_{cc}(4016)^{*+}$ immersed in a hot bath of pions. We consider these exotic states as purely isoscalar $DD^\ast$ and $D^\ast D^\ast$ $S$-wave bound states, respectively. Finite temperature effects are incorporated through the $D$ and $D^\ast$ state-of-the-art thermal spectral functions calculated in [G. Montana et al., Phys. Rev. D, 102 (2020) 096020], using the imaginary-ti…

Run 2/3 measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment by the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab seeks to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a_μ=(g-2)/2$, with a final target precision of 0.14 parts-per-million (ppm). The experiment's initial result, published in 2021 using Run 1 data from 2018, confirmed the previous measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory with a comparable sensitivity of 0.46 ppm. In 2023, a new result based on Run 2 and Run 3 data, collected in 2019 and 2020, was released. These datasets contain four times the data from…

A comparison of variable selection methods and predictive models for postoperative bowel surgery complications
Accurate prediction of postoperative complications can support personalized perioperative care. However, in surgical settings, data collection is often constrained, and identifying which variables to prioritize remains an open question. We analyzed 767 elective bowel surgeries performed under an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol at Medisch Spectrum Twente (Netherlands) between March 2020 and December 2023. Although hundreds of variables were available, most had substantial missingness or…

Decadal evolution of a repeating fast radio burst source
The origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs), the brightest cosmic radio explosions, is still unknown. Bearing critical clues to FRBs' origin, the long-term evolution of FRBs has yet to be confirmed, since the field is still young and most FRBs were seen only once. Here we report clear evidence of decadal evolution of FRB~20121102A, the first precisely localized repeater. In conjunction with archival data, our FAST and GBT monitoring campaign since 2020 reveals a significant 7% decline of local dispe…

Evolution of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence under vorticity and strain-rate control
We investigate the role of small-scale structures in turbulent Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) flows through the application of preferential flow control targeting high vorticity or high strain-rate regions (Buzzicotti et al. 2020). Through numerical simulations, we analyze the effects of flow control on RT statistics, mixing, and anisotropy behavior. Our results reveal that eliminating intense small-scale motion leads to the formation of more organized and coherent flow structures, with reduced mixing an…

A Flexible Measure of Voter Polarization
This paper introduces a definition of ideological polarization of an electorate around a particular central point. By being flexible about the location or width of the center, this measure enables the researcher to analyze polarization around any point of interest. The paper then applies this approach to US voter survey data between 2004 and 2020, showing how polarization between right-of-center voters and the rest of the electorate was increasing gradually, while polarization between left-wing…

The z=1.03 Merging Cluster SPT-CL J0356-5337: New Strong Lensing Analysis with HST and MUSE
We present a strong lensing analysis and reconstruct the mass distribution of SPT-CL J0356-5337, a galaxy cluster at redshift z = 1.034. Our model supersedes previous models by making use of new multi-band HST data and MUSE spectroscopy. We identify two additional lensed galaxies to inform a more well-constrained model using 12 sets of multiple images in 5 separate lensed sources. The three previously-known sources were spectroscopically confirmed by Mahler et al. (2020) at redshifts of z = 2.3…
