The RealHumanEval: Evaluating Large Language Models' Abilities to Support Programmers
Evaluation of large language models (LLMs) for code has primarily relied on static benchmarks, including HumanEval (Chen et al., 2021), which measure the ability of LLMs to generate complete code that passes unit tests. As LLMs are increasingly used as programmer assistants, we study whether gains on existing benchmarks translate to gains in programmer productivity when coding with LLMs, including time spent coding. In addition to static benchmarks, we investigate the utility of preference metr…

Multi-level Nonstandard Analysis and the Axiom of Choice
Model-theoretic frameworks for Nonstandard Analysis depend on the existence of nonprincipal ultrafilters, a strong form of the Axiom of Choice (AC). Hrbacek and Katz, APAL 72 (2021) formulate axiomatic nonstandard set theories SPOT and SCOT that are conservative extensions of respectively ZF and ZF + ADC (the Axiom of Dependent Choice), and in which a significant part of Nonstandard Analysis can be developed. The present paper extends these theories to theories with many levels of standardness,…

Pricing Catastrophe Bonds -- A Probabilistic Machine Learning Approach
This paper proposes a probabilistic machine learning method to price catastrophe (CAT) bonds in the primary market. The proposed method combines machine-learning-based predictive models with Conformal Prediction, an innovative algorithm that generates distribution-free probabilistic forecasts for CAT bond prices. Using primary market CAT bond transaction records between January 1999 and March 2021, the proposed method is found to be more robust and yields more accurate predictions of the bond s…

Nodal precession of a hot Jupiter transiting the edge of a late A-type star TOI-1518
TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter $b\sim0.9 $) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The high rotation speed of the host star ($\sim85$ km s$^{-1}$) and the nearly polar orbit of the planet ($\sim 120$ deg) may cause a nodal precession. In this study, we report the nodal precession undergone by TOI-1518\,b. This system is the fourth planetary system in whic…

Abstract: Automated methods for classifying extragalactic objects in large surveys offer significant advantages compared to manual approaches in terms of efficiency and consistency. However, the existence of the Galactic disk raises additional concerns. These regions are known for high levels of interstellar extinction, star crowding, and limited data sets and studies. In this study, we explore the identification and classification of galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA). In particular, we compare our results in the near-infrared with X-ray data. We analize the appearance of the objects classified as galaxies using machine learning by Zhang et al. (2021) in the Galactic disk and make a comparison with the visually confirmed galaxies from the VVV NIRGC (Baravalle et al. (2021). Our analysis, which includes the visual inspection of all sources catalogued as galaxies throughout the Galactic disk using machine learning techniques reveals significant differences. Only 4 galaxies were found in both the near-Infrared and X-ray data sets. Several specific regions of interest within the ZoA exhibit a high probability of being galaxies in X-ray data but closely resemble extended Galactic objects. The results indicate the difficulty of using machine learning methods for galaxy classification in the ZoA mainly due to the scarce information on galaxies behind the Galactic plane in the training set. They also stress the importance of considering specific factors that are present to improve the reliability and accuracy of future studies in this challenging region.

Counting lattice points that appear as algebraic invariants of Cameron-Walker graphs
In 2021, Hibi et. al. studied lattice points in $\mathbb{N}^2$ that appear as $(\depth R/I,\dim R/I)$ when $I$ is the edge ideal of a graph on $n$ vertices, and showed these points lie between two convex polytopes. When restricting to the class of Cameron--Walker graphs, they showed that these pairs do not form a convex lattice polytope. In this paper, for the edge ideal $I$ of a Cameron--Walker graph on $n$ vertices, we find how many points in $\mathbb{N}^2$ appear as $(\depth(R/I),\dim(R/I))$…

It took a long time to realise the necessity of an extension of the classical finite element spaces to make them hierarchical. This paper establishes the novel adaptive schemes for the biharmonic eigenvalue problems and provides a mathematical proof of optimal convergence …

Improved Space Bounds for Subset Sum
More than 40 years ago, Schroeppel and Shamir presented an algorithm that solves the Subset Sum problem for $n$ integers in time $O^*(2^{0.5n})$ and space $O^*(2^{0.25n})$. The time upper bound remains unbeaten, but the space upper bound has been improved to $O^*(2^{0.249999n})$ in a recent breakthrough paper by Nederlof and Węgrzycki (STOC 2021). Their algorithm is a clever combination of a number of previously known techniques with a new reduction and a new algorithm for the Orthogonal Vecto…

A metric counterpart of the Gu-Yung formula

A metric counterpart of the Gu-Yung formula
In this note we consider a generalisation to the metric setting of the recent work [Gu-Yung, JFA 281 (2021), 109075]. In particular, we show that under relatively weak conditions on a metric measure space $(X,d,ν)$, it holds true that \[ \bigg[ \frac{u(x)-u(y)}{d(x,y)^{\frac{s}{p}}} \bigg]_{L^p_w(X \times X, ν\otimes ν)} \approx \| u \|_{L^p(X,ν)}, \] where $s$ is a generalised dimension associated to $X$ and $[\cdot]_{L^p_w}$ is the weak Lebesgue norm. We provide some counterexam…

Relativistic energy density functional from momentum space to coordinate space within a coherent density fluctuation model
In this theoretical study, we have derived a simplified analytical expression for the binding energy per nucleon as a function of density and isospin asymmetry within the relativistic mean-field model. We have generated a new parameterization for the density-dependent DD-ME2 parameter set using the Relativistic-Hartree-Bogoliubov approach. Moreover, this work attempts to revisit the prior polynomial fitting in [Phy. Rev. C 103, 024305 (2021)] for the non-linear NL3 force parameter to provide a …

The bright black hole X-ray binary 4U 1543-47 during 2021 outburst. A clear state transition from super-Eddington to sub-Eddington accretion revealed by Insight-HXMT
We present a detailed analysis of the observations with the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope of the black hole X-ray transient 4U~1543-47 during its outburst in 2021. We find a clear state transition during the outburst decay of the source. Using previous measurements of the black-hole mass and distance to the source, the source luminosity during this transition is close to the Eddington limit. The light curves before and after the transition can be fitted by two exponential functions with short…

Stretch-independent magnetization in incompressible magnetorheological elastomers
In this study, we perform a critical examination of the phenomenon where the magnetization is stretch-independent in incompressible hard-magnetic magnetorheological elastomers (h-MREs), as observed in several recent experimental and numerical investigations. We demonstrate that the fully dissipative model proposed by Mukherjee et al. (2021) may be reduced, under physically consistent assumptions, to that of Yan et al. (2023), but not that of Zhao et al. (2019). In cases where the h-MRE solid un…

Asymptotic dynamics of generalized Kantorovich operators
We characterize the family of continuous functions $f\in C([0,1])$ such that the iterates $\widehat{T}^{k}_{i} f$ converge uniformly on $[0,1]$, where $\widehat{T}_i$ is a generalized Kantorovich operator. This gives an affirmative answer to the problem raised in 2021 by Acu and Rasa.

Probabilistic Generating Circuits -- Demystified
Zhang et al. (ICML 2021, PLMR 139, pp. 12447-1245) introduced probabilistic generating circuits (PGCs) as a probabilistic model to unify probabilistic circuits (PCs) and determinantal point processes (DPPs). At a first glance, PGCs store a distribution in a very different way, they compute the probability generating polynomial instead of the probability mass function and it seems that this is the main reason why PGCs are more powerful than PCs or DPPs. However, PGCs also allow for negative weig…

Unveiling Luminous Ly$α$ Emitters at $z\approx6$ through JWST/NIRCam Imaging in the COSMOS Field
We study a sample of 14 spectroscopically confirmed Ly$α$ Emitters (LAEs) in the late era of reionization (at redshift $z\approx6$) based on the JWST/NIRCam imaging dataset. These LAEs with high Ly$α$ luminosity of $L$(Ly$α$) $\sim10^{42.4-43.4}$ erg s$^{-1}$ have been covered by the (ongoing) COSMOS-Web survey (Kartaltepe et al. 2021; Casey et al. 2022) over $0.28$ deg$^2$ in four NIRCam bands (F115W, F150W, F277W, and F444W). With JWST imaging, we determine the UV continua with $M_{\rm UV}…

ALMA Spectroscopy of Europa: A Search for Active Plumes
The subsurface ocean of Europa is a high priority target in the search for extraterrestrial life, but direct investigations are hindered by the presence of a thick, exterior ice shell. Here we present spectral line and continuum maps of Europa obtained over four epochs in May-June 2021 using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), to search for molecular emission from atmospheric plumes, with the aim of investigating subsurface processes. Using a 3D physical model, we obtained …

A general class of iterative splitting methods for solving linear systems
Recently Ahmadi et al. (2021) and Tagliaferro (2022) proposed some iterative methods for the numerical solution of linear systems which, under the classical hypothesis of strict diagonal dominance, typically converge faster than the Jacobi method, but slower than the forward/backward Gauss-Seidel one. In this paper we introduce a general class of iterative methods, based on suitable splittings of the matrix that defines the system, which include all of the methods mentioned above and have the s…
