The headline is intentional hyperbole, chosen mostly for the sloppy alliteration. When sighted users test with a screen reader it is common to rely on the visual output — checking to see where focus goes, confirming that controls behave, watching the spoken output in a text log. The problem is…

Strong Lens Discoveries in DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys DR10 with Two Deep Learning Architectures
We have conducted a search for strong gravitational lensing systems in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Surveys Data Release 10 (DR10). This paper is the fourth in a series of searches (following Huang et al. 2020; Huang et al. 2021; Storfer et al. 2024, Paper I, II, & III respectively). This is the first catalog of lens candidates covering nearly the entirety of the extragalactic sky south of declination $δ\approx +32$ deg, all of it observed by the DECam, coveri…

Ordered Multi-Signatures with Public-Key Aggregation from SXDH Assumption
An ordered multi-signature scheme allows multiple signers to sign a common message in a sequential manner and allows anyone to verify the signing order of signers with a public-key list. In this work, we propose an ordered multi-signature scheme by modifying the sequential aggregate signature scheme by Chatterjee and Kabaleeshwaran (ACISP 2020). Our scheme offers compact public parameter size and the public-key aggregation property. This property allows us to compress a public-key list into a s…

Free Elections in the Free State: Ensemble Analysis of Redistricting in New Hampshire
The process of legislative redistricting in New Hampshire, along with many other states across the country, was particularly contentious during the 2020 census cycle. In this paper we present an ensemble analysis of the enacted districts to provide mathematical context for claims made about these maps in litigation. Operationalizing the New Hampshire redistricting rules and algorithmically generating a large collection of districting plans allows us to construct a baseline for expected behavior…

Long-term monitoring of a dynamically new comet C/2020 V2 (ZTF)
Comet C/2020 V2 (ZTF) is categorized as a dynamically new long-period comet, making its first approach to the inner Solar system. We have observed this comet for around 32 months (from January 2022 to July 2024) at heliocentric distances from 5.41 au (pre-perihelion) to 5.26 au (post-perihelion) through various telescopes, employing photometric (60 epochs) and spectroscopic techniques (5 epochs). Using these observations, we derived the production rates of different molecules such as CN$(0-0)$,…

The Influence of Magnetic Complexity of Active Regions on Solar Wind Properties During Solar Cycles 23 and 24
Linking solar wind properties to the activities and characteristics of its source regions can enhance our understanding of its origin and generation mechanisms. Using the Mount Wilson magnetic classification (MWMC), we categorize all active regions (ARs) between 1999 and 2020 into three groups: alpha, beta, and complex ARs. Subsequently, we classify the near-Earth AR solar wind into the corresponding three types based on the magnetic type of ARs. Our results show that alpha, beta, and complex A…

Admissible convergence behavior and mirroring of stagnation in restarted (block) GMRES
In this work, we describe how to construct matrices and block right-hand sides the exhibit a specified restarted block GMRES convergence pattern, such that the eigenvalues and Ritz values at each iteration can be chosen independent of the specified convergence behavior. This work is a generalization of the work in [Meurant and Tebbens, Num. Alg. 2019] in which the authors do the same for restarted non-block GMRES. We use the same tools as were used in [Kubínová and Soodhalter, SIMAX 2020], na…

The ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety of $8_{18}$

The ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety of $8_{18}$
The knot $8_{18}$ is the first non-arborescent hyperbolic knot. In 2020, Paoluzzi and Porti found its ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety with the aid of a computer, but many details were omitted. In this paper, we determine the character variety by a software-free procedure, which is easy to follow and enlightening. Along the way, we develop an efficient method for working with simultaneous conjugacy classes of four elements of ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$.

Addendum on data driven regularization by projection

Addendum on data driven regularization by projection
We study the stability of regularization by projection for solving linear inverse problems if the forward operator is given indirectly but specified via some input-output training pairs. We extend the approach in "Data driven regularization by projection" (Aspri, Korolev, and Scherzer; Inverse Problems; 36 (2020), 125009) to data pairs, which are noisy and, possibly, linearly dependent.
