Lower Bounds for Kernel Density Estimation on Symmetric Spaces
We prove that kernel density estimation on symmetric spaces of non-compact type, whose L2-risk was bounded above in previous work (Asta,2021), in fact achieves a minimax rate of convergence. With this result, the story for kernel density estimation on all symmetric spaces is completed. The idea in adapting the proof for Euclidean space is to suitably abstract vector space operations on Euclidean space to both actions of symmetric groups and reparametrizations of Helgason-Fourier transforms and …

In a recent publication [2D Materials, 8, 045033 (2021), arXiv:2103.11403], it was reported that the growth of a monolayer PdTe$_2$ in ultra-high vacuum could be achieved by deposition of tellurium on a palladium (111) crystal surface and subsequent thermal annealing. By means of low-energy electron diffraction intensity (LEED-IV) structural analysis, we show that the obtained $\left(\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3} \right)\textrm{R30}^\circ$ superstructure is in fact a TePd$_2$ surface alloy.

In this study, we propose a novel data-driven reduced-order model for complex dynamics, including nonlinear, multi-attractor, multi-frequency, and multiscale behaviours. The starting point is a fully automatable cluster-based network model (CNM) (Li et al. J.

In the proposed dynamics-augmented CNM (dCNM), the prediction error is reduced with traj…

Edit and Alphabet-Ordering Sensitivity of Lex-parse
We investigate the compression sensitivity [Akagi et al., 2023] of lex-parse [Navarro et al., 2021] for two operations: (1) single character edit and (2) modification of the alphabet ordering, and give tight upper and lower bounds for both operations. For both lower bounds, we use the family of Fibonacci words. For the bounds on edit operations, our analysis makes heavy use of properties of the Lyndon factorization of Fibonacci words to characterize the structure of lex-parse.

Assessing the Global Natural Orbital Functional Approximation on Model Systems with Strong Correlation
In the past decade, natural orbital functional (NOF) approximations have emerged as prominent tools for characterizing electron correlation. Despite their effectiveness, these approaches, which rely on natural orbitals and their associated occupation numbers, often require hybridization with other methods to fully account for all correlation effects. Recently, a global NOF (GNOF) has been proposed [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 233001 (2021)] to comprehensively address both dynamic and static correlati…

Assessing the Global Natural Orbital Functional Approximation on Model Systems with Strong Correlation
In the past decade, natural orbital functional (NOF) approximations have emerged as prominent tools for characterizing electron correlation. Despite their effectiveness, these approaches, which rely on natural orbitals and their associated occupation numbers, often require hybridization with other methods to fully account for all correlation effects. Recently, a global NOF (GNOF) has been proposed [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 233001 (2021)] to comprehensively address both dynamic and static correlati…

The pandemic inflicted higher rates of excess deaths on both Republicans and Democrats. But after COVID-19 vaccines arrived, Republican voters in Florida and Ohio died at a higher rate than their counterparts, according to a new study.
Researchers from Yale University who studied the pandemic's effects on those two states say that from the pandemic's start in March 2020 through December 2021, "excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic v…

Donald Trump's Truth Social is set to become part of a publicly traded company after a long-delayed merger was approved.
On Friday, a shell company created solely to buy Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group, approved the merger, The New York Times reported.
👉Trump's net worth is set to jump more than $3 billion from the deal, based on his large stake in the social-media platform he helped create in the wake of his post-January 6, 2021, Cap…

Truth Social is going public, boosting Trump's wealth by $3 billion
A long-delayed merger between Truth Social's parent company and a shell company was approved on Friday, increasing Trump's worth by billions.

Modified Steinberg-Guinan elasticity model to describe softening-hardening dual anomaly in vanadium
Constitutive models are essential for describing the mechanical behavior of materials under high temperatures and pressures, among which the Steinberg-Guinan (SG) model is widely adopted. Recent work has discovered a peculiar dual anomaly of compression-induced softening and heating-induced hardening in the elasticity of compressed vanadium [Phys. Rev. B 104, 134102 (2021)], which is beyond the capability of the SG model to describe. In this work, a modified SG constitutive model is proposed to…

Analysis of the background signal in Tianwen-1 MINPA
Since November 2021, Tianwen-1 started its scientific instrument Mars Ion and Neutral Particle Analyzer (MINPA) to detect the particles in the Martian space. To evaluate the reliability of the plasma parameters from the MINPA measurements, in this study, we analyze and reduce the background signal (or noise) appearing in the MINPA data, and then calculate the plasma moments based on the noise-reduced data. It is found that the velocity from MINPA is highly correlated with that from the Solar Wi…
