Mass threshold for global existence in chemotaxis systems with critical flux limitation
This paper investigates the flux-limited chemotaxis system, proposed by Kohatsu and Senba~(2025), \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t = Δu -\nabla\cdot(u|\nabla v|^{α-2}\nabla v),\\ \:\:0=Δv + u, \end{cases} \end{equation*} posed in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$ for some $N\geq2$, subject to no-flux and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Due to precedents, e.g., Tello (2022) and Winkler (2022), the exponent $α= \frac{N}{N-1}$ is the threshold for finite-time blow-up …

Pushing Blocks without Fixed Blocks via Checkable Gizmos: Push-1 is PSPACE-Complete
We prove PSPACE-completeness of Push-1: given a rectangular grid of 1 x 1 cells, each possibly occupied by a movable block, can a robot move from a specified location to another, given the ability to push up to one block at a time? In particular, we remove the need for fixed (unmovable) blocks in a previous result (FUN 2022), which seems to require a completely different reduction. This fundamental model of block pushing, introduced in 1999, abstracts the mechanics of many video games. It was s…

General-domain FC-based shock-dynamics solver I: Basic elements
This contribution, Part I in a two-part article series, presents a general-domain version of the FC-SDNN (Fourier Continuation Shock-detecting Neural Network) spectral scheme for the numerical solution of nonlinear conservation laws, which is applicable under arbitrary boundary conditions and in general domains. Like the previous simple-domain contribution (Journal of Computational Physics X 15, (2022)), the present approach relies on the use of the Fourier Continuation method for accurate spec…

Symbolic dynamics, shadowing and representation of real numbers with some countably piecewise linear Markov maps
We study piecewise linear Markov maps, with countable Markov partitions, inspired by a problem of the Miklós Schweitzer competition of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society in 2022. We introduce $\ell$-Markov partitions and apply ideas of symbolic dynamics to our systems, relating them to Markov shifts. We prove the shadowing property for the system from the competition. We also investigate the possible orbits of rational numbers, for a class of piecewise linear Markov maps which generalize o…

Investigating Document Type, Language, Publication Year, and Author Count Discrepancies Between OpenAlex and Web of Science
Bibliometrics, whether used for research or research evaluation, relies on large multidisciplinary databases of research outputs and citation indices. The Web of Science (WoS) was the main supporting infrastructure of the field for more than 30 years until several new competitors emerged. OpenAlex, a bibliographic database launched in 2022, has distinguished itself for its openness and extensive coverage. While OpenAlex may reduce or eliminate barriers to accessing bibliometric data, one of the…

A deep X-ray/UV look into the reflaring stage of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658
We present a detailed X-ray/UV high-time resolution monitoring of the final reflaring phase of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX~J1808.4$-$3658. During its 2022 outburst, we obtained simultaneous XMM-Newton and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. We detected coherent X-ray pulsations down to a 0.5-10~keV luminosity of $L_{X(low)\,0.5-10} \simeq 6.21^{+0.20}_{-0.15} \times 10^{34} \, d^2_{3.5}\,\mathrm{erg \, s^{-1}}$, among the lowest ever observed in this source.

An elementary construction of the ring of dual $K$-$Q$-cancellation property

An elementary construction of the ring of dual $K$-$Q$-cancellation property
This paper presents an elementary introduction on $K$-theoretic $Q$-functions, which were introduced by Ikeda and Naruse in 2013. These functions, which serve as $K$-theoretic analogs of Schur $Q$-functions, are known to possess combinatorial and algebraic constructions. In a 2022 paper, the author introduced ``$β$-deformed power-sums" to provide a simpler, more algebraic construction of these functions. Since the original approach relies on fermionic operators and vacuum expectation values, t…

An adaptive procedure for detecting replicated signals with $k$-family-wise error rate control
Partial conjunction (PC) hypothesis testing is widely used to assess the replicability of scientific findings across multiple comparable studies. In high-throughput meta-analyses, testing a large number of PC hypotheses with k-family-wise error rate (k-FWER) control often suffers from low statistical power due to the multiplicity burden. The state-of-the-art AdaFilter-Bon procedure by Wang et al. (2022, Ann. Stat., 50(4), 1890-1909) alleviates this problem by filtering out hypotheses unlikely t…

We have convinced ourselves that the way to make AI safe is to make it unsafe. Since 2022, policymakers worldwide have embraced the Regulation Sacrifice - the belief that dismantling safety oversight will deliver security through AI dominance. Fearing China or USA will gain advantage, nations rush to eliminate safeguards that might slow progress.

Numerical search for states with constant enstrophy flux over finite time intervals in two-dimensional turbulence
An ensemble model of turbulence based on states with constant flux in wavenumber space was proposed in [K. Yoshida, Phys. Rev. E, 106, 045106 (2022)]. The justification of this ensemble model relies on the conjecture that almost all states with constant flux correspond to turbulence states. To verify this conjecture, a numerical search for states with constant enstrophy flux in wavenumber space over finite time intervals in two-dimension turbulence is conducted using a Monte Carlo method.

Local feature filtering for scalable and well-conditioned Random Feature Methods
In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), with randomized neural networks showing remarkable potential. These networks, typically shallow, differ from conventional approaches by randomizing all parameters except those in the final layer. Notably, by integrating techniques inspired by domain decomposition, they achieve improved local accuracy and computational efficiency. Following \cite{chen:2022:BTM}, we refer to these a…
