GL-LowPopArt: A Nearly Instance-Wise Minimax Estimator for Generalized Low-Rank Trace Regression
We present `GL-LowPopArt`, a novel Catoni-style estimator for generalized low-rank trace regression. Building on `LowPopArt` (Jang et al., 2024), it employs a two-stage approach: nuclear norm regularization followed by matrix Catoni estimation. We establish state-of-the-art estimation error bounds, surpassing existing guarantees (Fan et al., 2019; Kang et al., 2022), and reveal a novel experimental design objective, $\mathrm{GL}(π)$. The key technical challenge is controlling bias from the non…

Enhanced Fingerprint-based Positioning With Practical Imperfections: Deep learning-based approaches
High-precision positioning is vital for cellular networks to support innovative applications such as extended reality, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Existing positioning algorithms using deep learning techniques require vast amounts of labeled data, which are difficult to obtain in real-world cellular environments, and these models often struggle to generalize effectively. To advance cellular positioning techniques, the 2024 Wireless Communica…

Localized evaluation and fast summation in the extrapolated regularization method for integrals in Stokes flow
Boundary integral equation methods are widely used in the solution of many partial differential equations. The kernels that appear in these surface integrals are nearly singular when evaluated near the boundary, and straightforward numerical integration produces inaccurate results. In Beale and Tlupova (Adv. Comput. Math, 2024), an extrapolated regularization method was proposed to accurately evaluate the nearly singular single and double-layer surface integrals for harmonic potentials or Stoke…

MacMahon's Double Vision: Partition Diamonds Revisited
Plane partition diamonds were introduced by Andrews, Paule, and Riese (2001) as part of their study of MacMahon's $Ω$-operator in search for integer partition identities. More recently, Dockery, Jameson, Sellers, and Wilson (2024) extended this concept to $d$-fold partition diamonds and found their generating function in a recursive form. We approach $d$-fold partition diamonds via Stanley's (1972) theory of $P$-partitions and give a closed formula for a bivariate generalization of the Dockery…

Comment on "Quantum tunneling from Schwarzschild black hole in non-commutative gauge theory of gravity"
The particle creation via quantum tunneling was recently calculated for the Schwarzschild non-commutative black hole solution in Ref. [Phys. Lett. B 848 (2024) 138335, e-Print: 2310.02445 [gr-qc]]. Nevertheless, it contains inconsistencies in the calculations that need to be properly corrected. In particular, the event horizon was incorrectly determined in that work, which affected all the subsequent calculations. Moreover, the same issue have been repeated elsewhere by the same authors in Refs…

Matters Arising: Spatial correlation in economic analysis of climate change
Climate change poses substantial risks to the global economy. Kotz, Levermann and Wenz (Nature, 2024) statistically analyzed economic and climate data, finding significant projected damages until mid-century and a divergence in outcomes between high- and low-emission scenarios thereafter. We find that their analysis underestimates uncertainty owing to large, unaccounted-for spatial correlations on the subnational level, rendering their results statistically insignificant when properly corrected…

XGBoost meets INLA: a two-stage spatio-temporal forecasting of wildfires in Portugal
Wildfires pose a major threat to Portugal, with an average of over 115,000 hectares burned annually in the 45-year period of 1980-2024. Beyond a high number of ignitions, the country has experienced devastating mega-fires, such as those in 2017. Accurate forecasting of wildfire occurrence and burned areas is therefore essential for effective firefighting resource allocation and emergency preparedness. In this study, we present a novel two-stage ensemble approach that extends the widely used lat…
