Australia to create a national park for 12,000 koalas
Few animals tug at Australian hearts like the koala. Yet the marsupial, once common along the eastern seaboard, was declared endangered in New South Wales (NSW) in 2022. Habitat loss, climate stress, and disease have driven populations down so far that a parliamentary inquiry warned they could vanish from the state before 2050. The proposed […]

Generalizations of Ferber-Krivelevich and Gallai Theorems on parity of degrees in induced subgraphs

Generalizations of Ferber-Krivelevich and Gallai Theorems on parity of degrees in induced subgraphs
A long-standing and well-known conjecture (see e.g. Caro, Discrete Math, 1994) states that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ without isolated vertices contains an induced subgraph where all vertices have an odd degree and whose order is linear in $n$. Ferber and Krivelevich (Adv. Math., 2022) confirmed the conjecture. In this short paper, we generalize this result by considering $G$ with vertices labeled 0 or 1 and requiring that in an induced subgraph of $G$, the 0-labeled vertices are of even degree…

One--Component Plasma Equation of State Revisited via Angular--Averaged Ewald Potential
We present analytic fits of classical one--component plasma (OCP) internal energy over a wide range of coupling parameter $0.01\leΓ\le 170$ using Monte--Carlo data in the thermodynamic limit. We extend the dataset obtained in [Demyanov and Levashov, Phys. Rev. E 106, 015204 (2022)] using the angular--averaged Ewald potential with additional points at strong coupling ($Γ=120,\ 150,\ 170$). We then fit two frequently used functional forms for the OCP equation of state: (i) a five-parameter equa…

The (3+1)-dimensional scalar field model analysis of beam spin asymmetry in the electroproduction of a scalar meson off a scalar target
We explore exclusive scalar meson electroproduction off a scalar target in the (3+1)-dimensional scalar field model. This model analysis is a straightforward extension of the previous (1+1)-dimensional model analysis presented in Phys. Rev. D \textbf{105}, 096014 (2022). In contrast to the (1+1)-dimensional model, the (3+1)-dimensional model allows us to compute the beam spin asymmetry (BSA), which is proportional to the imaginary part of the product of the two Compton form factors (CFFs) that …

Ads that Stick: Near-Optimal Ad Optimization through Psychological Behavior Models
Optimizing the timing and frequency of ads is a central problem in digital advertising, with significant economic consequences. Existing scheduling policies rely on simple heuristics, such as uniform spacing and frequency caps, that overlook long-term user interest. However, it is well-known that users' long-term interest and engagement result from the interplay of several psychological effects (Curmei, Haupt, Recht, Hadfield-Menell, ACM CRS, 2022).

By a high-order numerical homogenization method, a heterogeneous multiscale scheme was developed in Jin & Li (2022) for evolving differential equations containing two time scales. In this paper, we further explore the technique to propose an efficient algorithm able to carry out simulations up to a long time which was prohibitive before. The new algorithm is a multigrid-in-time method which combines coarse-grid high-order approximations with fine-grid low-order evaluations. The high efficiency …

Physical Thickness Characterization of the FRIB Production Targets
The FRIB heavy-ion accelerator, commissioned in 2022, is a leading facility for producing rare isotope beams (RIBs) and exploring nuclei beyond the limits of stability. These RIBs are produced via reactions between stable primary beams and a graphite target. Approximately 20-40 \% of the primary beam power is deposited in the target, requiring efficient thermal dissipation. Currently, FRIB operates with a primary beam power of up to 20 kW. To enhance thermal dissipation efficiency, …

Majorization via positivity of Jack and Macdonald polynomial differences
Majorization inequalities have a long history, going back to Maclaurin and Newton. They were recently studied for several families of symmetric functions, including by Cuttler--Greene--Skandera (2011), Sra (2016), Khare--Tao (2021), McSwiggen--Novak (2022), and Chen--Sahi (2024+) among others.

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…

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.

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…

Leveraging Minute-by-Minute Soccer Match Event Data to Adjust Team's Offensive Production for Game Context
In soccer, game context can result in skewing offensive statistics in ways that might misrepresent how well a team has played. For instance, in England's 1-2 loss to France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, England attempted considerably more shots (16 to France's 8) and more corners (5 to 2), potentially suggesting they played better despite the loss. However, these statistics were largely accumulated when France was ahead and more willing to concede offensive initiative to England. To …
