Tensorized Ant Colony Optimization for GPU Acceleration
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is renowned for its effectiveness in solving Traveling Salesman Problems, yet it faces computational challenges in CPU-based environments, particularly with large-scale instances. In response, we introduce a Tensorized Ant Colony Optimization (TensorACO) to utilize the advancements of GPU acceleration. As the core, TensorACO fully transforms ant system and ant path into tensor forms, a process we refer to as tensorization. For the tensorization of ant system, we pr…

Modern ants evolved alongside their ancient ancestors, study suggests

All of the nearly 16,000 species of modern ants share a common extinct ancestor, and a new analysis suggests modern ants once shared the planet with their ancient ant relatives
— and that their distinctive body structure remained consistent across 100 million years of evolution.

The research, published in the journal Current Biology, focuses on the youngest known stem ants, which were preserved in 77 m…

Markov Chain-based Optimization Time Analysis of Bivalent Ant Colony Optimization for Sorting and LeadingOnes
So far, only few bounds on the runtime behavior of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) have been reported. To alleviate this situation, we investigate the ACO variant we call Bivalent ACO (BACO) that uses exactly two pheromone values. We provide and successfully apply a new Markov chain-based approach to calculate the expected optimization time, i. e., the expected number of iterations until the algorithm terminates. This approach allows to derive exact formulae for the expected optimization time for…

Seymour's second neighbourhood conjecture: random graphs and reductions
A longstanding conjecture of Seymour states that in every oriented graph there is a vertex whose second outneighbourhood is at least as large as its outneighbourhood. In this short note we show that, for any fixed $p\in[0,1/2)$, a.a.s. every orientation of $G(n,p)$ satisfies Seymour's conjecture (as well as a related conjecture of Sullivan). This improves on a recent result of Botler, Moura and Naia. Moreover, we show that $p=1/2$ is a natural barrier for this problem, in the following sense: f…

We present a method to estimate distances to Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars in the Galaxy, using spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the near- and mid-infrared. By assuming that a given set of source properties (initial mass, stellar temperature, composition, and evolutionary stage) will provide a typical SED shape and brightness, sources are color-matched to a distance-calibrated template and thereafter scaled to extract the distance. The method is tested by comparing the distances ob…

This can be a heavy burden on a novice user, choosing which architecture and what values to assign to parameters. In most cases, default hyperparameters and architectures are used. Significant improvements to model accuracy can be achieved through the evaluation of multiple architectures. A process known as Neural Architecture Search (NAS) may be applied to automatically evaluate a large nu…

The Simons Observatory: Combining cross-spectral foreground cleaning with multi-tracer $B$-mode delensing for improved constraints on inflation
The Simons Observatory (SO), due to start full science operations in early 2025, aims to set tight constraints on inflationary physics by inferring the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ from measurements of CMB polarization $B$-modes. Its nominal design targets a precision $σ(r=0) \leq 0.003$ without delensing. Achieving this goal and further reducing uncertainties requires the mitigation of other sources of large-scale $B$-modes such as Galactic foregrounds and weak gravitational lensing. We present…

In 2002, Chowdhury et al. introduced a simplified model aimed at depicting the dynamics of single-lane unidirectional ant traffic. Despite efforts, an exact solution for the stationary state of this ant-trail model remains elusive. The primary challenge arises from inherent fluctuations in the total amount of pheromone along the ant-trail. These fluctuations significantly influence ant movement.

Synchronization is one of the most striking instances of collective behavior, occurring in many natural phenomena. For example, in some ant species, ants are inactive within the nest most of the time, but their bursts of activity are highly synchronized and involve the entire nest population. Here we revisit a simulation model that generates this synchronized rhythmic activity through autocatalytic behavior, i.e., active ants can activate inactive ants, followed by a period of rest.

The XENONnT Dark Matter Experiment
The multi-staged XENON program at INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso aims to detect dark matter with two-phase liquid xenon time projection chambers of increasing size and sensitivity. The XENONnT experiment is the latest detector in the program, planned to be an upgrade of its predecessor XENON1T. It features an active target of 5.9 tonnes of cryogenic liquid xenon (8.5 tonnes total mass in cryostat). The experiment is expected to extend the sensitivity to WIMP dark matter by more than a…

Partitioning the projective plane to two incidence-rich parts
An internal or friendly partition of a vertex set $V(G)$ of a graph $G$ is a partition to two nonempty sets $A\cup B$ such that every vertex has at least as many neighbours in its own class as in the other one. Motivated by Diwan's existence proof on internal partitions of graphs with high girth, we give constructive proofs for the existence of internal partitions in the incidence graph of projective planes and discuss its geometric properties. In addition, we determine exactly the maximum poss…

Offline tagging of radon-induced backgrounds in XENON1T and applicability to other liquid xenon detectors
This paper details the first application of a software tagging algorithm to reduce radon-induced backgrounds in liquid noble element time projection chambers, such as XENON1T and XENONnT. The convection velocity field in XENON1T was mapped out using $^{222}\text{Rn}$ and $^{218}\text{Po}$ events, and the root-mean-square convection speed was measured to be $0.30 \pm 0.01$ cm/s. Given this velocity field, $^{214}\text{Pb}$ background events can be tagged when they are followed by $^{214}\text{Bi…
