Itô-Wentzell formulas for semimartingale conditional laws with applications to mean-field control
The present paper is an extension of Fadle-Touzi (2024). Following the same methodology, merely based on Taylor expansions, we establish the Itô and Itô-Wentzell formulae for flows of conditional distributions of general semimartingales, thus allowing for discontinuous semimartingales with possibly discontinuous flows of conditional marginals. We apply these results to derive the dynamic programming equations corresponding to mean field control problems with Poisson type common noise and mean…

A November 2024 report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) reflects staggering numbers:
There are an estimated 96 million #birders in the United States
—more than a third of U.S. adults
—who together spent more than $107 billion in 2022.
In total, that’s more money than the 2022 gross domestic product of New Hampshire (and 10 other U.S. states).

The Role of Far-side Magnetic Structures in Modeling 2024 Solar Eclipse
The corona is a crucial region that connects the solar surface to the solar wind and serves as the primary site of solar activity. The 2024 total solar eclipse (TSE) provides a unique opportunity to investigate the large-scale coronal structure. Combined with TSE observations, we study the impact of the magnetic structure of the far-side active region, located in the eastern hemisphere of the Sun that has not yet rotated into the Earth Field-of-View (FoV), on a global Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) …

On Structured State-Space Duality
Structured State-Space Duality (SSD) [Dao & Gu, ICML 2024] is an equivalence between a simple Structured State-Space Model (SSM) and a masked attention mechanism. In particular, a state-space model with a scalar-times-identity state matrix is equivalent to a masked self-attention with a $1$-semiseparable causal mask. Consequently, the same sequence transformation (model) has two algorithmic realizations: as a linear-time $O(T)$ recurrence or as a quadratic-time $O(T^2)$ attention. In this note,…

Counterpart identification and classification for eRASS1 and characterisation of the AGN content
[abridged] Accurately accounting for the AGN phase in galaxy evolution requires a large, clean AGN sample. This is now possible with SRG/eROSITA. The public Data Release 1 (DR1, Jan 31, 2024) includes 930,203 sources from the Western Galactic Hemisphere. The data enable the selection of a large AGN sample and the discovery of rare sources. However, scientific return depends on accurate characterisation of the X-ray emitters, requiring high-quality multiwavelength data. This paper presents the i…

Predicting Movie Success with Multi-Task Learning: A Hybrid Framework Combining GPT-Based Sentiment Analysis and SIR Propagation
This study presents a hybrid framework for predicting movie success. The framework integrates multi-task learning (MTL), GPT-based sentiment analysis, and Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) propagation modeling. The study examines limitations in existing approaches. It models static production attributes, information dissemination, and audience sentiment at the same time. The framework uses 5,840 films from 2004 to 2024 and approximate 300,000 user reviews. It shows predictive performance wit…

The burning number conjecture holds for trees of order $n$ with at most $\left\lfloor \sqrt{n-1}\right\rfloor$ degree-2 vertices

The burning number conjecture holds for trees of order $n$ with at most $\left\lfloor \sqrt{n-1}\right\rfloor$ degree-2 vertices
Inspired by the spread of information in social networks and graph-theoretic processes such as Firefighting and graph cleaning, Bonato, Janssen and Roshanbin introduced in 2016 the burning number $b(G)$ of any finite graph $G$. They conjectured that $b(G)\le \lceil n^\frac{1}{2}\rceil$ holds for all connected graphs $G$ of order $n$, and observed that it suffices to prove the conjecture for all trees. In 2024, Murakami confirmed the conjecture for trees without degree-2 vertices. In this paper,…

Improved $\ell_{p}$ Regression via Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares
We introduce fast algorithms for solving $\ell_{p}$ regression problems using the iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) method. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art iteration complexity, outperforming the IRLS algorithm by Adil-Peng-Sachdeva (NeurIPS 2019) and matching the theoretical bounds established by the complex algorithm of Adil-Kyng-Peng-Sachdeva (SODA 2019, J. ACM 2024) via a simpler lightweight iterative scheme. This bridges the existing gap between theoretical and practical a…

Fisher information for solutions of the Boltzmann equation
This note reviews a recent contribution about the Fisher information for the space-homogeneous Boltzmann equation by L. Silvestre, C. Villani and the author (arXiv, 2024). This classical functional from information theory is shown to be nonincreasing along the flow of the non-linear PDE for all physically relevant particle interactions. The proof consists in establishing a new functional inequality on the sphere of Log-Sobolev type. This new a priori estimate on solutions yields global-in-time …

Solving Polynomial Systems with Gröbner Bases: An Introduction to F4 and FGLM
These notes originate from a reading course held by the authors in the spring of 2024 at the Università di Genova. They provide a hands-on introduction to the F4 and FGLM algorithms. In addition to the notes, we present two implementations of the algorithms: FGLM in CoCoALib and F4 in Sage. These implementations closely follow the structure of the algorithms as described here and are intended to help readers experiment with them in practice, thereby gaining a deeper understanding.

Collision operator for electron runaway in cold weakly-ionized plasmas
In cold weakly-ionized plasmas, Dreicer generation mechanism can be non-diffusive as demonstrated in [Y. Lee et. al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 133 17 175102 (2024)]. By expanding the previous letter, we present the detailed description of a proper collision operator to precisely account for the non-diffusive electron kinetics. The operator appropriately combines the Fokker-Planck operator and Boltzmann operator where free-bound collision cross sections are valid in low energy region. The proposed operat…

We describe the scientific objectives and instrument design of the ASPIICS coronagraph launched aboard the Proba-3 mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) on 5 December 2024. Proba-3 consists of two spacecraft in a highly elliptical orbit around the Earth. One spacecraft carries the telescope, and the external occulter is mounted on the second spacecraft. The two spacecraft fly in a precise formation during 6 hours out of 19.63 hour orbit, together forming a giant solar coronagraph called AS…

Range characterization of the ray transform on Sobolev spaces of symmetric tensor fields in two dimensions
The ray transform $I_m$ integrates a symmetric $m$ rank tensor field $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ over lines. In the case of $n\ge3$, the range characterization of the operator $I_m$ on weighted Sobolev spaces $H^{s}_t({\mathbb R}^n;S^m{\mathbb R}^n)$ was obtained in [V. Krishnan and V. Sharafutdinov.

Here we obtain a range characterization result in higher orde…
