Testing Spreading Behavior in Networks with Arbitrary Topologies
Inspired by the works of Goldreich and Ron (J. ACM, 2017) and Nakar and Ron (ICALP, 2021), we initiate the study of property testing in dynamic environments with arbitrary topologies. Our focus is on the simplest non-trivial rule that can be tested, which corresponds to the 1-BP rule of bootstrap percolation and models a simple spreading behavior: Every "infected" node stays infected forever, and each "healthy" node becomes infected if and only if it has at least one infected neighbor. We show …

The sandpile model on the complete split graph: $q,t$-Schröder polynomials, sawtooth polyominoes, and a cyclic lemma
This paper builds on work initiated in Dukes (2021) that considered the classification of recurrent configurations of the Abelian sandpile model on the complete split graph. We introduce two statistics, wtopple$_{CTI}$ and wtopple$_{ITC}$, on sorted recurrent configurations. These statistics arise from two natural but different toppling conventions, CTI and ITC, for Dhar's burning algorithm as it is applied to the complete split graph. In addition, we introduce the bivariate $q,t$-CTI and $q,t$…

Unlocking Insights: Enhanced Analysis of Covariance in General Factorial Designs through Multiple Contrast Tests under Variance Heteroscedasticity
A common goal in clinical trials is to conduct tests on estimated treatment effects adjusted for covariates such as age or sex. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) is often used in these scenarios to test the global null hypothesis of no treatment effect using an $F$-test. However, in several samples, the $F$-test does not provide any information about individual null hypotheses and has strict assumptions such as variance homoscedasticity. We extend the method proposed by Konietschke et al. (2021) …

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 $(\depth(R/I),\dim(R/I))$…

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 …

Rate-optimal higher-order adaptive conforming FEM for biharmonic eigenvalue problems on polygonal domains
The a posteriori error analysis of the classical Argyris finite element methods dates back to 1996, while the optimal convergence rates of associated adaptive finite element schemes are established only very recently in 2021. 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 …

We continue the study of balanceable graphs, defined by Caro, Hansberg, and Montejano in 2021 as graphs $G$ such that any $2$-coloring of the edges of a sufficiently large complete graph containing sufficiently many edges of each color contains a balanced copy of $G$. While the problem of recognizing balanceable graphs was conjectured to be NP-complete by Dailly, Hansberg, and Ventura in 2021, balanceable graphs admit an elegant combinatorial characterization: a graph is balanceable if and only…

Probabilistic Generating Circuits -- Demystified
Zhang et al.

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…

A general class of iterative splitting methods for solving linear systems
Recently Ahmadi et al.

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…

A spectral extremal problem on non-bipartite triangle-free graphs
A theorem of Nosal and Nikiforov states that if $G$ is a triangle-free graph with $m$ edges, then $λ(G)\le \sqrt{m}$, where the equality holds if and only if $G$ is a complete bipartite graph. A well-known spectral conjecture of Bollobás and Nikiforov [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 97 (2007)] asserts that if $G$ is a $K_{r+1}$-free graph with $m$ edges, then $λ_1^2(G) + λ_2^2(G) \le (1-\frac{1}{r})2m$. Recently, Lin, Ning and Wu [Combin. Probab. Comput. 30 (2021)] confirmed the conjecture in the…

Multivariate confluent Vandermonde with G-Arnoldi and applications
In the least-squares fitting framework, the Vandermonde with Arnoldi (V+A) method presented in [Brubeck, Nakatsukasa, and Trefethen, SIAM Review, 63 (2021), pp. 405-415] is an effective approach to compute a polynomial that approximates an underlying univariate function f. Extensions of V+A include its multivariate version and the univariate confluent V+A; the latter enables us to use the information of the derivative of f in obtaining the approximation polynomial. In this paper, we shall exten…

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…

On a conjecture of Eǧecioǧlu and Iršič
In 2021, {Ö}. Eǧecioǧlu, V. Iršič introduced the concept of Fibonacci-run graph $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ as an induced subgraph of Hypercube. They conjectured that the diameter of $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ is given by $n-\lfloor(1+\frac{n}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}-\frac{3}{4}\rfloor$. In this paper, we introduce the novel concept of distance-barriers between vertices in $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ and provide an elegant method to give lower bound for the diameter of $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ via distance-barriers. By constructin…
