Efficient Algorithms for Disjoint Shortest Paths Problem and its Extensions
We study the 2-Disjoint Shortest Paths (2-DSP) problem: given a directed weighted graph and two terminal pairs $(s_1,t_1)$ and $(s_2,t_2)$, decide whether there exist vertex-disjoint shortest paths between each pair. Building on recent advances in disjoint shortest paths for DAGs and undirected graphs (Akmal et al. 2024), we present an $O(mn \log n)$ time algorithm for this problem in weighted directed graphs that do not contain negative or zero weight cycles. This algorithm presents a signif…

General framework for quantifying dissipation pathways in open quantum systems. III. Off-diagonal system-bath couplings
This paper extends the previously reported theory of dissipation pathways [J. Chem. Phys. 160, 214111 (2024)] to incorporate off-diagonal subsystem-bath coupling, which is often required to model molecular systems where the environment directly influences transitions and couplings between subsystem states. We systematically derive master equations for both population transfer and dissipation into individual bath components, for which we also rigorously prove energy conservation and detailed bal…

On the $l_\infty$-analog of Algebraic Connectivity
The algebraic connectivity $a(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the second smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix $L(G)$. It also admits a variational characterization as the minimum of a quadratic form associated with $L(G)$, subject to $l_2$-norm constraints. In 2024, Andrade and Dahl investigated an analogous parameter $γ(G)$, defined using the $l_\infty$-norm instead of the $l_2$-norm. They demonstrated that $γ(G)$ can be computed in polynomial time using linear programming. In this a…

Upper bound coefficient for convolution structure associated to Hartley--Bessel transform
This paper is devoted to the study of a convolution structure denoted by $*_α$, which is defined via the Hartley--Bessel transform. This concept was introduced in a recent work by F. Bouzeffour [\emph{J. Pseudo-Differ. Oper. Appl.}, 2024;15, Article 42]. We establish an analog of the Hausdorff--Young inequality for the Hartley--Bessel transform and convolution operator $*_α$. This leads to the convolution $*_α$ being uniformly bounded on the dual space. Moreover, in some special cases, our r…

We present monitoring observations of quasar microlensing in the quadruple quasar HE0435-1223. The microlensing-induced light curves of the quasar images are chromatic, i.e. they depend on the applied filter band. Comparison with microlensing simulations allows us to infer properties of the accretion disk.

Terrorism & Democracy in Burkina-Faso
This article examines the political consequences of terrorism in Burkina Faso. Using a dataset combining geolocated terrorist events from ACLED (from 2015 to 2024) with public opinion data from Afrobarometer, I compare the effect of successful terrorist attacks on public support for democracy and authoritarian alternatives. The results reveal that successful terrorist attacks significantly increase support for military regimes, one man regimes, and one party systems, while decreasing support fo…

Commitment Gap via Correlation Gap
Selection problems with costly information, dating back to Weitzman's Pandora's Box problem, have received much attention recently. We study the general model of Costly Information Combinatorial Selection (CICS) that was recently introduced by Chawla et al. [2024] and Bowers et al. [2025]. In this problem, a decision maker needs to select a feasible subset of stochastic variables, and can only learn information about their values through a series of costly steps, modeled by a Markov decision pr…

Hypergraph Splitting-Off via Element-Connectivity Preserving Reductions
Bérczi, Chandrasekaran, Király, and Kulkarni (ICALP 2024) recently described a splitting-off procedure in hypergraphs that preserves local-connectivity and outlined some applications. In this note we give an alternative proof via element-connectivity preserving reduction operations in graphs.
