dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 12 nodes and 52 edges.

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…

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…

Insight-HXMT Spectral and Timing Studies of a Giant Outburst in RX J0440.9+4431
The Be/X-ray binary pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 underwent a giant outburst in late 2022 and lasted three months. The Insight-HXMT has observed this source at several instances of the entire outburst in 2022-2023. We used these bright outburst observations of the pulsar to study its X-ray spectral and timing variability. The pulse profiles obtained at similar luminosity during the progress and declining phases of the outburst show a similar shape behavior.With the increase in source luminosity, the c…

Effective source for second-order self-force calculations: quasicircular orbits in Schwarzschild spacetime
Recent years have seen the first production of "post-adiabatic" gravitational-waveform models based on second-order gravitational self-force theory. These models rely on calculations of an effective source in the perturbative second-order Einstein equation. Here, for the first time, we detail the calculation of the effective source in a Schwarzschild background, which underlies the second-order self-force results in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 151102 (2021); ibid. 128, 231101 (2022); ibid. 130, 2414…

Research on Quality Measurement and Dynamic Transmission of Higher Education in China from the Perspective of Dual Circulation: An Empirical Analysis Based on Entropy Weight-TOPSIS and PVAR Models
Drawing on the new pattern of 'dual circulation', an evaluation system for the development level of China's higher education has been constructed, utilizing data from Chinese provinces over the period 2020 to 2022. Initially, the evaluation model is established, followed by the screening of initial indicators through correlation analysis. Subsequently, an entropy weight-TOPSIS model are employed for static quantification, and the PVAR model is introduced for the first time to describe the dynam…

Geometry Matters in Planar Storyplans
A storyplan visualizes a graph $G=(V,E)$ as a sequence of $\ell$ frames $Γ_1, \dots, Γ_\ell$, each of which is a drawing of the induced subgraph $G[V_i]$ of a vertex subset $V_i \subseteq V$. Moreover, each vertex $v \in V$ is contained in a single consecutive sequence of frames $Γ_i, \dots, Γ_j$, all vertices and edges contained in consecutive frames are drawn identically, and the union of all frames is a drawing of $G$. In GD 2022, the concept of planar storyplans was introduced, in which…

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{…

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]…

Detecting Narrative Shifts through Persistent Structures: A Topological Analysis of Media Discourse
How can we detect when global events fundamentally reshape public discourse? This study introduces a topological framework for identifying structural change in media narratives using persistent homology. Drawing on international news articles surrounding major events - including the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Feb 2022), the murder of George Floyd (May 2020), the U.S. Capitol insurrection (Jan 2021), and the Hamas-led invasion of Israel (Oct 2023) - we construct daily co-occurrence graphs of n…
