Largevars: An R Package for Testing Large VARs for the Presence of Cointegration
Cointegration is a property of multivariate time series that determines whether its non-stationary, growing components have a stationary linear combination. Largevars R package conducts a cointegration test for high-dimensional vector autoregressions of order k based on the large N, T asymptotics of Bykhovskaya and Gorin (2022, 2025). The implemented test is a modification of the Johansen likelihood ratio test. In the absence of cointegration the test converges to the partial sum of the Airy_1 …

Treedepth and 2-treedepth in graphs with no long induced paths

Treedepth and 2-treedepth in graphs with no long induced paths
Huynh, Joret, Micek, Seweryn, and Wollan (Combinatorica, 2022) introduced a graph parameter, later referred to as 2-treedepth and denoted $\mathrm{td}_2(\cdot)$. The parameter is the natural 2-connected version of treedepth. For every graph, 2-treedepth is at most the treedepth but can be much smaller: long paths have arbitrary treedepth but 2-treedepth equal to 2. We prove a converse, showing that every graph $G$ with no induced path on $t$ vertices has treedepth less than $2 \cdot t^{\mathrm{…

Explanation of the seasonal variation of cosmic multiple muon events observed with the NOvA Near Detector
The flux of cosmic ray muons at the Earth's surface exhibits seasonal variations due to changes in the temperature of the atmosphere affecting the production and decay of mesons in the upper atmosphere. Using data collected by the NOvA Near Detector during 2018--2022, we studied the seasonal pattern in the multiple-muon event rate. The data confirm an anticorrelation between the multiple-muon event rate and effective atmospheric temperature, consistent across all the years of data. Previous ana…

Doubly Discordant SH0ES NGC4258 Cepheid Relations (HVI), and Impactful Extinction Laws
S$H_0$ES 2016-2022 $HVI$ data for classical Cepheids in the keystone galaxy NGC4258 yield doubly discordant Wesenheit Leavitt functions:~$ΔW_{0,H-VI} = -0.13\pm0^{m}.02$ ($-0^{m}.17$ unweighted) and that is paired with a previously noted $ΔW_{0,I-VI}\simeq-0^{m}.3$, which in concert with complimentary evidence suggest the 2016 S$H_0$ES NGC4258-anchored $H_0 \pm σ_{H_0}$ warrants scrutiny (i.e., $σ_{H_0}/{H_0}\gtrsim 6$\%). Cepheid distance uncertainties are further exacerbated by extinction…

Teaching with AI: A Systematic Review of Chatbots, Generative Tools, and Tutoring Systems in Programming Education
This review examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) agents in programming education, focusing on how these tools are being integrated into educational practice and their impact on student learning outcomes. An analysis of fifty-eight peer-reviewed studies published between 2022 and 2025 identified three primary categories of AI agents: chatbots, generative AI (GenAI), and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), with GenAI being the most frequently studied. The primary instructional object…

Semantic Network Analysis of Achievement Standards in Physics of 2022 Revised Curriculum
We investigate semantic networks of achievement standards for physics subjects in the 2022 revised curriculum to derive information embedded in the curriculum. We extract each subject's keywords with node strength and random-walk betweenness, detect communities of physics terms by the optimized greedy algorithm, and find the connectivity of physics subjects using bipartite networks. The network analysis reveals three remarkable results: First, keywords are about scientific thinking and practice…

Extendability of $1$-decomposable complexes
A well-known conjecture of Simon (1994) states that any pure $d$-dimensional shellable complex on $n$ vertices can be extended to $Δ_{n-1}^{(d)}$, the $d$-skeleton of the $(n-1)$-dimensional simplex, by attaching one facet at a time while maintaining shellability. The notion of $k$-decomposability for simplicial complexes, which generalizes shellability, was introduced by Provan and Billera (1980). Coleman, Dochtermann, Geist, and Oh (2022) showed that any pure $d$-dimensional $0$-decomposab…

Observation of Astrophysical Sources with SST-1M Telescopes -- First Results
The Single-Mirror Small Size Cherenkov Telescope (SST-1M) was developed by a consortium of institutes in Switzerland, Poland, and the Czech Republic. The SST-1M design is based on the Davies-Cotton concept, featuring a 4-meter mirror and an innovative SiPM-based camera. It is most sensitive to gamma rays in the TeV and multi-TeV energy bands. Since 2022, two SST-1M prototypes have been commissioned at the Ondrejov Observatory in the Czech Republic, where their performance in both mono and stere…

Low complexity convergence rate bounds for push-sum algorithms with homogeneous correlation structure
The objective of this work is to establish an upper bound for the almost sure convergence rate for a class of push-sum algorithms. The current work extends the methods and results of the authors on a similar low-complexity bound on push-sum algorithms with some particular synchronous message passing schemes and complements the general approach of Gerencsér and Gerencsér from 2022 providing an exact, but often less accessible description. Furthermore, a parametric analysis is presented on the …

Millions of inequivalent quadratic APN functions in eight variables
The only known example of an almost perfect nonlinear (APN) permutation in even dimension was obtained by applying CCZ-equivalence to a specific quadratic APN function. Motivated by this result, there have been numerous recent attempts to construct new quadratic APN functions. Currently, 32,892 quadratic APN functions in dimension 8 are known and two recent conjectures address their possible total number. The first, proposed by Y. Yu and L. Perrin (Cryptogr. Commun. 14(6): 1359-1369, 2022), sug…

Climate change: across time and frequencies
We use continuous wavelet tools to characterize the dynamics of climate change across time and frequencies. This approach allows us to capture the changing patterns in the relationship between global mean temperature anomalies and climate forcings. Using historical data from 1850 to 2022, we find that greenhouse gases, and CO$_2$ in particular, play a significant role in driving the very low frequency trending behaviour in temperatures, even after controlling for the effects of natural forcings…

Multiwavelength continuum, emission line and BAL variability with prominent PV absorption in the X-ray-weakest quasar PG0043+039
PG0043+039 has been identified as an extremely X-ray-weak quasar and as a peculiar broad-absorption-line quasar based on UV HST spectra. We took simultaneous deep X-ray observations of PG0043+039 with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, UV spectra with the HST, and optical spectra with the HET telescope in 2022. PG0043+039 was an extreme low-X-ray-luminosity quasar in 2022. This AGN showed an extreme steep alpha_oX value of -2.47. The X-ray luminosity was a factor of 3.4 higher in the meantime in 2013.

On recurrence coefficients of classical orthogonal polynomials
In Lett. Math. Phys. 114, 54 (2024) and 115, 70 (2025), the author introduces what is presented as a novel method for determining whether a sequence of orthogonal polynomials is "classical", based solely on its initial recurrence coefficients. This note demonstrates that all the results contained in those works are already encompassed by two general theorems previously established in J. Math. Anal. Appl. 515 (2022), Article 126390. A symbolic algorithm, implemented in Mathematica, is also provi…

Separable convex optimization over indegree polytopes
We study egalitarian (acyclic) orientations of undirected graphs under indegree-based objectives, such as minimizing the $φ$-sum of indegrees for a strictly convex function $φ$, decreasing minimization (dec-min), and increasing maximization (inc-max). In the non-acyclic setting of Frank and Murota (2022), a single orientation simultaneously optimizes these three objectives, however, restricting to acyclic orientations confines us to the corners of the indegree polytope, where these fairness o…
