A Data Efficient Framework for Learning Local Heuristics
With the advent of machine learning, there have been several recent attempts to learn effective and generalizable heuristics. Local Heuristic A* (LoHA*) is one recent method that instead of learning the entire heuristic estimate, learns a "local" residual heuristic that estimates the cost to escape a region (Veerapaneni et al 2023). LoHA*, like other supervised learning methods, collects a dataset of target values by querying an oracle on many planning problems (in this case, local planning pro…

A Gaussian integral that counts regular graphs
In a recent article J. Phys. Compl. 4 (2023) 035005, Kawamoto evoked statistical physics methods for the problem of counting graphs with a prescribed degree sequence. This treatment involved truncating a particular Taylor expansion at the first two terms, which resulted in the Bender-Canfield estimate for the graph counts. This is surprisingly successful since the Bender-Canfield formula is asymptotically accurate for large graphs, while the series truncation does not a priori suggest a similar…

Collaborative Cybersecurity Using Blockchain: A Survey
Collaborative cybersecurity relies on organizations sharing information to boost security, but trust management is a key concern. Decentralized solutions like distributed ledgers, particularly blockchain, are crucial for eliminating single points of failure. However, the existing literature on blockchain-based collaborative cybersecurity is limited, lacking comprehensive insights. This paper addresses this gap by surveying blockchain's role in collaborative cybersecurity from 2016 to 2023. It e…

Sharp local propagation of chaos for mean field particles with $W^{-1,\infty}$ kernels

The first method is based on a hierarchy of relative entropies and Fisher informations, and applies to the 2D viscous vortex model in the high temperature regime. Time-uniform local chaos bounds are also shown in this case. In t…

Comment on "Two-component density functional theory study of quantized muons in solids"
In [Phys. Rev. B 107, 094433 (2023)], Deng et al. have proposed an electron-muon correlation functional within the context of the two-component density functional theory (TC-DFT) for crystals/molecules containing positively charged muons. In order to verify its performance, we applied the functional in conjunction with the B3LYP, as a hybrid electronic exchange-correlation functional, to a benchmark set of molecules. The results demonstrate that the proposed functional is not capable of reprodu…

A Practical Introduction to Regression Discontinuity Designs: Extensions
This monograph, together with its accompanying first part Cattaneo, Idrobo and Titiunik (2020), collects and expands the instructional materials we prepared for more than $50$ short courses and workshops on Regression Discontinuity (RD) methodology that we taught between 2014 and 2023. In this second monograph, we discuss several topics in RD methodology that build on and extend the analysis of RD designs introduced in Cattaneo, Idrobo and Titiunik (2020). Our first goal is to present an altern…

Fractional Quantum Hall States of the $\mathcal{A}$ phase in the Second Landau Level
A proposal of the existence of an {\em Anomalous} phase ($\mathcal{A}$ phase) [https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.056202 Das et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 056202 (2023)] at the experimental range of moderate Landau-level-mixing strength has recently been made for $5/2$ state. We here report that the gapped $\mathcal{A}$ phase is generic to the sequence of spin-polarized fractional quantum Hall states with filling fractions $ν= n/(nm-1)$ and $ν= 1-n/(nm-1)$, $(n \geq…

A Kansas paper and its publisher are suing over police raids. They say damages exceed $10M
A weekly central Kansas newspaper and its publisher have filed a federal lawsuit over police raids last summer of its offices and the publisher’s home. The Marion County Record's parent company and its editor and publisher Eric Meyer also notified local officials Monday that the paper and its publisher believe they are due more than $10 million in damages. The lawsuit accuses the city of Marion, the Marion County Commission and five current and former local officials of violating constitution…

Questioning whether seasonal advance of intense tropical cyclones since the 1980s truly exists
Shan et al. (2023) recently reported significant seasonal advances of intense tropical cyclones (TCs) in both the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and Southern Hemisphere (SH) since the 1980s and emphasized the data insensitivity of this conclusion, based on the advanced Dvorak Technique-Hurricane Satellite (ADT-HURSAT) and the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) datasets. However, upon rigorously repeating the analysis procedure in Shan et al. (2023), we are unable to re…

Sparse graph counting and Kelley-Meka bounds for binary systems
In a recent breakthrough, Kelley and Meka (FOCS 2023) obtained a strong upper bound on the density of sets of integers without nontrivial three-term arithmetic progressions. In this work, we extend their result, establishing similar bounds for all linear patterns defined by translation-invariant binary systems of linear forms, where ``binary'' indicates that every linear form depends on exactly two variables. Prior to our work, no strong bounds were known for such systems even in the finite fie…

Is the universe older than commonly accepted?
The ages of globular clusters (GC) are conventionally constrained by models that adhere to the accepted age of the Universe, preventing their ages from exceeding approximately 13.8 Gyr. However, a recent study by llorente de Andrés (2023) challenges this paradigm. Drawing on the relationship between the number of blue straggler stars (BSs) and the relaxation time, the study proposes that the age of the cluster NGC104 falls between 19.04 and 20.30 Gyr. Extending this approach, the present work …

Jimmy Garoppolo’s 2-game suspension for violation of NFL’s PED policy set to cost him a whopping $11.25 million https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/jimmy_garoppolos_…

Jimmy Garoppolo’s 2-game suspension for violation of NFL’s PED policy set to cost him a whopping $11.25 million
Jimmy Garoppolo appears to have done an unwilling favor to the Las Vegas Raiders. In the early hours of Friday, news broke that the NFL had issued punishment for the quarterback.  Garoppolo allegedly violated the league’s PED policy during the 2023 season. He had already fallen out of favor with the Raiders after being benched with just six games under his belt. His future with the silver and black came under contention when head coach Josh McDaniels got fired. Furthermore, there’s less co…

«La inflación rampante se ha comido estas subidas y ha causado que las rentas de los españoles no hayan avanzado en los últimos cuatro años. Y este hecho se ha visto agravado por la intensa escalada de los tipos: las familias han destinado 10.000 millones de euros mšs al pago de intereses hasta un total de 24.000 millones, alrededor del 2,5% de su renta bruta disponible. Es un 70% mšs que el año anterior y de lo que se abonaba antes de la pandemia.»

2024 offseason primer: Raiders roster in line for a major facelift
Despite former head coach Josh McDaniels’ best efforts, the Las Vegas Raiders nearly salvaged their 2023 season, winning five of nine games with Antonio Pierce as the interim head coach and making the AFC playoff race interesting during the final few weeks. Pierce not only won over the players in the locker room but also owner Mark Davis, who rewarded the 45-year-old with the head-coaching gig on a permanent basis earlier this winter. Among Pierce’s first tasks will be revamping a lackluste…
