On the intervals for the non-existence of covering systems with distinct moduli
In a research seminar in $2006$, M. Filaseta, O. Trifonov, and G. Yu showed for each integer $n\geq3$ there is no distinct covering with all moduli in the interval $[n, 6n]$. In $2022$, this interval was subsequently improved to $[n, 8n]$ by the first author and O. Trifonov. The first author then improved this bound to $[n, 9n]$ in $2023$. Building off their method, we show that for each integer $n\geq 3$, there does not exist a distinct covering system with all moduli in the interval $[n, 10n]…

How to Take the Inverse of a Type (ECOOP 2022 - Research Papers) - ECOOP 2022
ECOOP is Europe’s longest-standing annual Programming Languages (PL) conference, and welcomes high quality research papers relating to the PL field in a broad sense. This year the conference will feature dedicated paper categories for reproduction studies, experience reports, reflective “pearls”, and forward-thinking “new idea” papers. We are also pleased to have two Journal First routes for submission to ECOOP, with the ACM TOPLAS and Science of Computer Programming journals.

Greedy Dynamic Matching
We study a foundational model of dynamic matching market with abandonment. This model has been studied by Collina et al (2020) and Aouad and Saritac (2022), and many other papers have considered special cases. We compare the performance of greedy policies -- which identify a set of "acceptable" matches up front, and perform these matches as soon as possible -- to that of an omniscient benchmark which knows the full arrival and departure sequence. We use a novel family of linear programs ($LP^…

Improved bounds on the $H$-rank of a mixed graph in terms of the matching number and fractional matching number
A mixed graph $\widetilde{G}$ is obtained by orienting some edges of a graph $G$, where $G$ is the underlying graph of $\widetilde{G}$. Let $r(\widetilde{G})$ be the $H$-rank of $\widetilde{G}$. Denote by $r(G)$, $κ(G)$, $m(G)$ and $m^{\ast}(G)$ the rank, the number of even cycles, the matching number and the fractional matching number of $G$, respectively. Zhou et al. [Discrete Appl. Math. 313 (2022)] proved that $2m(G)-2κ(G)\leq r(G)\leq 2m(G)+ρ(G)$, where $ρ(G)$ is the largest number of …

Truthful, Credible, and Optimal Auctions for Matroids via Blockchains and Commitments
We consider a revenue-optimizing auctioneer in single-dimensional environments with matroid feasibility constraints. Akbarpour and Li (2020) argue that any revenue-optimal, truthful, and credible mechanism requires unbounded communication. Recent works (Ferreira and Weinberg, 2020; Essaidi et al., 2022; Chitra et al., 2024) circumvent their impossibility for the single-item setting through the use of cryptographic commitments and blockchains. We extend their results to matroid feasibility const…

From Radar to Risk: Building a High-Resolution Hail Database for Austria And Estimating Risk Through the Integration of Distributional Neural Networks into the Metastatistical Framework
This study makes significant contributions to the understanding of hail climatology in Austria. First, it introduces a comprehensive database of hailstone sizes, constructed from three-dimensional radar data spanning 2009 to 2022 and calibrated by approximately 5000 verified hail reports. The database serves as foundation for describing the short-term climatology of hail and provides the data necessary for estimating hail risk maps with enhanced spatial resolution and quality.

$q$-Congruences for Z.-W. Sun's generalized polynomials $w^{(α)}_k(x)$
In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(α)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^αx^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,α$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and $(x)_{n}=x(x+1)\cdots(x+n-1)$ for all $n\geq 1$. In this paper, it is proved by $q$-congruences that for any positive integers ${α,β, m,n,r}$, we have \begin{equation*} \frac{(2,n)}{n(n+1)(n+2)}\sum_{k=1}^{n}k^r(k+1)^r(2k+1)w_{k}^{(α)}(x)^{m}\in\mathbb{Z}[x], \end{equation*…

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.

In this work, we prove upper and lower bounds over fields of positive characteristics for several fragments of the Ideal Proof System (IPS), an algebraic proof system introduced by Grochow and Pitassi (J. ACM 2018). Our results extend the works of Forbes, Shpilka, Tzameret, and Wigderson (Theory of Computing 2021) and also of Govindasamy, Hakoniemi, and Tzameret (FOCS 2022). These works primarily focused on proof systems over fields of characteristic $0$, and we are able to extend these results…
