On the Hurwitz Stability of Hurwitz-Type Matrix Polynomials
Every matrix polynomial $\f_n$ can be written in the form $\f_n(z)=\h_n(z^2)+z\,\g_n(z^2)$. The matrix polynomial $\f_{2m}$ is said to be of Hurwitz-type if the expression $\g_{2m}(z)\h_{2m}^{-1}(z)$ admits a representation as a finite continued fraction with positive definite matrix coefficients. Similarly, the odd-degree matrix polynomial $\f_{2m+1}$ is of Hurwitz type if $\frac{1}{z}\h_{2m+1}(z)\g_{2m+1}^{-1}(z)$ has the same property. Using orthogonal matrix polynomials on the inter…

Humanity's Last Code Exam: Can Advanced LLMs Conquer Human's Hardest Code Competition?
Code generation is a core capability of large language models (LLMs), yet mainstream benchmarks (e.g., APPs and LiveCodeBench) contain questions with medium-level difficulty and pose no challenge to advanced LLMs. To better reflected the advanced reasoning and code generation ability, We introduce Humanity's Last Code Exam (HLCE), comprising 235 most challenging problems from the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC World Finals) and the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)…

Universal Scaling Laws for Deep Indentation Beyond the Hertzian Regime
Deep indentation of soft materials is ubiquitous across scales in nature and engineering, yet accurate predictions of contact behaviors under extreme deformations ($δ/R > 1$) remain elusive due to geometric and material nonlinearities. Here, we investigate the indentation of rigid spheres into soft elastic substrates, resolving the highly nonlinear regime where the sphere becomes fully submerged. A universal geometric mapping approach reveals Hertz-type pressure distributions in the deformed c…

Innovating China's Intangible Cultural Heritage with DeepSeek + MidJourney: The Case of Yangliuqing theme Woodblock Prints
Yangliuqing woodblock prints, a cornerstone of China's intangible cultural heritage, are celebrated for their intricate designs and vibrant colors. However, preserving these traditional art forms while fostering innovation presents significant challenges. This study explores the DeepSeek + MidJourney approach to generating creative, themed Yangliuqing woodblock prints focused on the fight against COVID-19 and depicting joyous winners. Using Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) scores for evaluatio…

No War With Iran Will Erase Israel's Crimes in Gaza. Don't Get Distracted.
Israel has adopted a worldview in which every problem should be solved through force, and the people of Israel have become a collective that admires force and brutality while scorning dialogue and compromise.
