Convergence of the Preconditioned Proximal Point Method and Douglas-Rachford Splitting in the Absence of Monotonicity
The proximal point algorithm (PPA) is the most widely recognized method for solving inclusion problems and serves as the foundation for many numerical algorithms. Despite this popularity, its convergence results have been largely limited to the monotone setting. In this work, we study the convergence of (relaxed) preconditioned PPA for a class of nonmonotone problems that satisfy an oblique weak Minty condition. Additionally, we study the (relaxed) Douglas-Rachford splitting (DRS) method in the…

Episodic eruptions of young accreting stars: the key role of disc thermal instability due to Hydrogen ionisation
In the classical grouping of large magnitude episodic variability of young accreting stars, FUORs outshine their stars by a factor of $\sim$ 100, and can last for up to centuries; EXORs are dimmer, and last months to a year. A disc Hydrogen ionisation Thermal Instability (TI) scenario was previously proposed for FUORs but required unrealistically low disc viscosity. In the last decade, many intermediate type objects, e.g., FUOR-like in luminosity and spectra but EXOR-like in duration were found…

Modeling and performance analysis of Implicit Electric Field Conjugation with two deformable mirrors applied to the Roman Coronagraph
High-order wavefront sensing and control (HOWFSC) is key to create a dark hole region within the coronagraphic image plane where high contrasts are achieved. The Roman Coronagraph is expected to perform its HOWFSC with a ground-in-the-loop scheme due to the computational complexity of the Electric Field Conjugation (EFC) algorithm. This scheme provides the flexibility to alter the HOWFSC algorithm for given science objectives. The baseline HOWFSC scheme involves running EFC while observing a br…

Let $f$, $p$, and $q$ be Laurent polynomials with integer coefficients in one or several variables, and suppose that $f$ divides $p+q$. We establish sufficient conditions to guarantee that $f$ individually divides $p$ and $q$. These conditions involve a bound on coefficients, a separation between the supports of $p$ and $q$, and, surprisingly, a requirement on the complex variety of $f$ called atorality satisfied by many but not all polynomials.

In particular, the two central charges of these theories are the same, namely $a=c$.

A method of constructing pairwise balanced designs containing parallel classes
The obvious way to construct a GDD (group-divisible design) recursively is to use Wilson's Fundamental Construction for GDDs (WFC). Then a PBD (pairwise balanced design) is often obtained by adding a new point to each group of the GDD. However, after constructing such a PBD, it might be the case that we then want to identify a parallel class of blocks. In this short note, we explore some possible ways of doing this.

Employing the coupled EUHFORIA-OpenGGCM model to predict CME geoeffectiveness
EUropean Heliospheric FORecasting Information Asset (EUHFORIA) is a physics-based data-driven solar wind and CME propagation model designed for space weather forecasting and event analysis investigations. Although EUHFORIA can predict the solar wind plasma and magnetic field properties at Earth, it is not equipped to quantify the geoeffectiveness of the solar transients in terms of the geomagnetic indices like the disturbance storm time (Dst) index and the eauroral indices that quantify the imp…

Large scale paired antibody language models
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that can identify and neutralise a wide variety of antigens with high specificity and affinity, and constitute the most successful class of biotherapeutics. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, billions of antibody sequences have been collected in recent years, though their application in the design of better therapeutics has been constrained by the sheer volume and complexity of the data. To address this challenge, we present IgBe…

Deeper Learning in Astronomy
It is well known that the best way to understand astronomical data is through machine learning, where a "black box" is set up, inside which a kind of artificial intelligence learns how to interpret the features in the data. We suggest that perhaps there may be some merit to a new approach in which humans are used instead of machines to understand the data. This may even apply to fields other than astronomy.

Kicking the Can Down the Road: Understanding the Effects of Delaying the Deployment of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection
Climate change is a prevalent threat, and it is unlikely that current mitigation efforts will be enough to avoid unwanted impacts. One potential option to reduce climate change impacts is the use of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). Even if SAI is ultimately deployed, it might be initiated only after some temperature target is exceeded. The consequences of such a delay are assessed herein. This study compares two cases, with the same target global mean temperature of 1.5C above preindustri…

Fast Assignment in Asset-Guarding Engagements using Function Approximation
This letter considers assignment problems consisting of n pursuers attempting to intercept n targets. We consider stationary targets as well as targets maneuvering toward an asset. The assignment algorithm relies on an n x n cost matrix where entry (i, j) is the minimum time for pursuer i to intercept target j. Each entry of this matrix requires the solution of a nonlinear optimal control problem. This subproblem is computationally intensive and hence the computational cost of the assignment is…

The chiral ring of D=4, N=1 SYM with exceptional gauge groups
The Cachazo-Douglas-Seiberg-Witten conjecture, concerning the algebraic structure of the chiral ring in N=1, D=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, is proven for exceptional gauge groups. This completes the proof of the conjecture.

Narrow, wide, and $λ$-wide regular subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras
A subalgebra of a semisimple Lie algebra is wide if every simple module of the semisimple Lie algebra remains indecomposable when restricted to the subalgebra. From a finer viewpoint, a subalgebra is $λ$-wide if the simple module of a semisimple Lie algebra of highest weight $λ$ remains indecomposable when restricted to the subalgebra. A subalgebra is narrow if the restriction of all non-trivial simple modules to the subalgebra have proper decompositions. We determine necessary and sufficient…

Optimal Savings and Value of Population in A Stochastic Environment: Transient Behavior
We extend the work on optimal investment and consumption of a population considered in [2] to a general stochastic setting over a finite time horizon. We incorporate the Cobb-Douglas production function in the capital dynamics while the consumption utility function and the drift rate in the population dynamics can be general, in contrast with [2, 30, 31]. The dynamic programming formulation yields an unconventional nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, in which the Cobb-Douglas prod…

The Equation of Motion for Taut-Line Buzzers
Equations of motion are developed for the oscillatory rotation of a disk suspended between twisted strings kept under tension by a hanging mass, to which additional forces may be applied. In the absence of forcing, damped harmonic oscillations are observed to decay with an exponential time envelope for two different string types. This is consistent with damping caused by string viscosity, rather than air turbulence, and may be quantified in terms of a quality factor. To test the proposed equati…

A three-step approach to production frontier estimation and the Matsuoka's distribution
In this work, we introduce a three-step semiparametric methodology for the estimation of production frontiers. We consider a model inspired by the well-known Cobb-Douglas production function, wherein input factors operate multiplicatively within the model. Efficiency in the proposed model is assumed to follow a continuous univariate uniparametric distribution in $(0,1)$, referred to as Matsuoka's distribution, which is discussed in detail. Following model linearization, the first step is to sem…

Liouville Irregular States of Half-Integer Ranks
We conjecture a set of differential equations that characterizes the Liouville irregular states of half-integer ranks, which extends the generalized AGT correspondence to all the $(A_1,A_\text{even})$ and $(A_1,D_\text{odd})$ types Argyres-Douglas theories. For lower half-integer ranks, our conjecture is verified by deriving it as a suitable limit of a similar set of differential equations for integer ranks. This limit is interpreted as the 2D counterpart of a 4D RG-flow from $(A_1,D_{2n})$ to …

Joint Deconvolution of Astronomical Images in the Presence of Poisson Noise
We present a new method for joint likelihood deconvolution (Jolideco) of a set of astronomical observations of the same sky region in the presence of Poisson noise. The observations may be obtained from different instruments with different resolution, and different point spread functions. Jolideco reconstructs a single flux image by optimizing the posterior distribution based on the joint Poisson likelihood of all observations under a patch-based image prior. The patch prior is parameterised vi…
