Branch, or Layer? Zeroth-Order Optimization for Continual Learning of Vision-Language Models
Continual learning in vision-language models (VLMs) faces critical challenges in balancing parameter efficiency, memory consumption, and optimization stability. While First-Order (FO) optimization (e.g., SGD) dominate current approaches, their deterministic gradients often trap models in suboptimal local minima and incur substantial memory overhead. This paper pioneers a systematic exploration of Zeroth-Order (ZO) optimization for vision-language continual learning (VLCL). We first identify the…

Nonlinear Model Order Reduction of Dynamical Systems in Process Engineering: Review and Comparison
Computationally cheap yet accurate enough dynamical models are vital for real-time capable nonlinear optimization and model-based control. When given a computationally expensive high-order prediction model, a reduction to a lower-order simplified model can enable such real-time applications. Herein, we review state-of-the-art nonlinear model order reduction methods and provide a theoretical comparison of method properties. Additionally, we discuss both general-purpose methods and tailored appro…

Complexity of normalized stochastic first-order methods with momentum under heavy-tailed noise
In this paper, we propose practical normalized stochastic first-order methods with Polyak momentum, multi-extrapolated momentum, and recursive momentum for solving unconstrained optimization problems. These methods employ dynamically updated algorithmic parameters and do not require explicit knowledge of problem-dependent quantities such as the Lipschitz constant or noise bound. We establish first-order oracle complexity results for finding approximate stochastic stationary points under heavy-t…

For several specific choices of the coupling functions, we show that in the presence of the ordinary Maxwell kinetic term the Reissner-Nordström-(anti-)de Sitter solution in the pure Maxwell-Einstein theory can also be a solution in generic classes of higher-order Maxwell-Einstein theories, and in the absence of the ordina…

Physical Constraint Preserving Higher Order Finite Volume Schemes for Divergence-Free Astrophysical MHD and RMHD
Higher order finite volume schemes for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) are very valuable because they allow us to carry out astrophysical simulations with very high accuracy. However, astrophysical problems sometimes have unusually large Mach numbers, exceptionally high Lorentz factors and very strong magnetic fields. All these effects cause higher order codes to become brittle and prone to code crashes. In this paper we document physical constraint prese…

Currently, existing tensor recovery methods fail to recognize the impact of tensor scale variations on their structural characteristics. Furthermore, existing studies face prohibitive computational costs when dealing with large-scale high-order tensor data. To alleviate these issue, assisted by the Krylov subspace iteration, block Lanczos bidiagonalization process, and random projection strategies, this article first devises two fast and accurate randomized algorithms for low-rank tensor approx…

A triple torsion linking form and 3-manifolds in $S^4$
Given a rational homology 3-sphere $M$, we introduce a triple linking form on $H_1(M; \mathbb{Z})$, defined when the classical torsion linking pairing of three homology classes vanishes pairwise. If $M$ is the boundary of a simply-connected 4-manifold $N$, the triple linking form can be computed in terms of the higher order intersection form on $N$, introduced by Matsumoto. We use these methods to formulate an embedding obstruction for rational homology spheres in $S^4$, extending a 1938 theore…

Bayesian Quantification of Observability and Equation of State of Twin Stars
The possibility of discovering twin stars, two neutron stars (NSs) with the same mass but different radii, is usually studied in forward modelings by using a restricted number of NS matter equation of state (EOS) encapsulating a first-order phase transition from hadronic to quark matter (QM). Informing our likelihood function with the NS radius data from GW170817 and using a meta-model with 9-parameters capable of mimicking most NS EOSs available in the literature, we conduct a Bayesian quantif…

Anisotropic Calderón problem of a nearly Laplace-Beltrami operator of order $2+$
This paper investigates the anisotropic Calderón problem for Logarithemic Laplacian, on closed Riemannian manifolds, which could be considered as near Laplace operator. We demonstrate that the Cauchy data set recovers the geometry of a closed Riemannian manifold up to standard gauge.

A continuous-time model to interpolate between speed and function value restart in accelerated first order methods
We introduce a new restarting scheme for a continuous inertial dynamics with Hessian driven-damping, and establish a linear convergence rate for the function values along the restarted trajectories. The proposed routine is a generalization of existing speed restart schemes, and interpolates between speed and function value restarts, considerably delaying the restarting time, while preserving the function value decrease. Numerical experiments show an improvement in the convergence rates for both…

Infinitely many solutions for nonlinear superposition operators of mixed fractional order involving critical exponent
This paper addresses elliptic problems involving the superposition of nonlinear fractional operators with the critical Sobolev exponent in sublinear regimes. We establish the existence of infinitely many nontrivial weak solutions using a variational framework that combines a truncation argument with the notion of genus. A central part of our analysis is the verification of the Palais--Smale $(\mathrm{PS})_c$ condition for every $q \in (1, p_{s_\sharp}^*)$, despite the challenges posed by the la…

InfoFlood: Jailbreaking Large Language Models with Information Overload
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various domains. However, their potential to generate harmful responses has raised significant societal and regulatory concerns, especially when manipulated by adversarial techniques known as "jailbreak" attacks. Existing jailbreak methods typically involve appending carefully crafted prefixes or suffixes to malicious prompts in order to bypass the built-in safety mechanisms of these models. In this work, we identif…

Automatic differentiation for Lax-Wendroff-type discretizations
Lax-Wendroff methods combined with discontinuous Galerkin/flux reconstruction spatial discretization provide a high-order, single-stage, quadrature-free method for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. In this work, we introduce automatic differentiation (AD) in the element-local time average flux computation step (the predictor step) of Lax-Wendroff methods. The application of AD is similar for methods of any order and does not need positivity corrections during the predictor step. This contra…

Substitutions of variables are finitely axiomatizable over quantifications and permutations
This paper proves that the equational theory of the class $RA_α^{csp}$ of representable polyadic algebras is finitely axiomatizable over its substitution-free reduct $RA_α^{cp}$, for finite $α$. That is, substitutions of variables in finite variable first-order logic can be described by finitely many axioms over the Boolean operations, existential quantifiers and permutations of variables.

Functional Multi-Reference Alignment via Deconvolution
This paper studies the multi-reference alignment (MRA) problem of estimating a signal function from shifted, noisy observations. Our functional formulation reveals a new connection between MRA and deconvolution: the signal can be estimated from second-order statistics via Kotlarski's formula, an important identification result in deconvolution with replicated measurements. To design our MRA algorithms, we extend Kotlarski's formula to general dimension and study the estimation of signals with v…

Given a sequence of $N$ independent sources $\mathbf{X}_1,\mathbf{X}_2,\dots,\mathbf{X}_N\sim\{0,1\}^n$, how many of them must be good (i.e., contain some min-entropy) in order to extract a uniformly random string? This question was first raised by Chattopadhyay, Goodman, Goyal and Li (STOC '20), motivated by applications in cryptography, distributed computing, and the unreliable nature of real-world sources of randomness. In their paper, they showed how to construct explicit low-error extracto…

Connecting dilaton thermal fluctuation with the Polyakov loop at finite temperature
Understanding the character of the deconfinement phase transition is one of the fundamental challenges in particle physics. In this work, we derive a formula for the expectation value of the Polyakov loop -- the order parameter of the deconfinement phase transition -- in pure $\mathrm{SU(N_{\mathrm{c}})}$ gauge systems at finite temperatures starting from the Coleman\textendash Weinberg-type effective potential encoding the trace anomaly of QCD. Our results are in good agreement with the Lattic…

Hybrid Polynomial Zonotopes: A Set Representation for Reachability Analysis in Hybrid Nonaffine Systems
Reachability analysis for hybrid nonaffine systems remains computationally challenging, as existing set representations--including constrained, polynomial, and hybrid zonotopes--either lose tightness under high-order nonaffine maps or suffer exponential blow-up after discrete jumps. This paper introduces Hybrid Polynomial Zonotope (HPZ), a novel set representation that combines the mode-dependent generator structure of hybrid zonotopes with the algebraic expressiveness of polynomial zonotopes. …

The main focus is on obtaining error estimates in integral and uniform metrics.

Asymptotics and Scattering for Critically Weakly Hyperbolic and Singular Systems
We study a very general class of first-order linear hyperbolic systems that both become weakly hyperbolic and contain lower-order coefficients that blow up at a single time $t = 0$. In "critical" weakly hyperbolic settings, it is well-known that solutions lose a finite amount of regularity at the degenerate time $t = 0$. In this paper, we both improve upon the results in the weakly hyperbolic setting, and we extend this analysis to systems containing critically singular coefficients, which may …

Lempel-Ziv Complexity, Empirical Entropies, and Chain Rules
We derive upper and lower bounds on the overall compression ratio of the 1978 Lempel-Ziv (LZ78) algorithm, applied independently to $k$-blocks of a finite individual sequence. Both bounds are given in terms of normalized empirical entropies of the given sequence. For the bounds to be tight and meaningful, the order of the empirical entropy should be small relative to $k$ in the upper bound, but large relative to $k$ in the lower bound. Several non-trivial conclusions arise from these bounds. On…

We propose transformed Diffsuion-Wave fractional Physics-Informed Neural Networks (tDWfPINNs) for efficiently solving time-fractional diffusion-wave equations with fractional order $α\in(1,2)$. Conventional numerical methods for these equations often compromise the mesh-free advantage of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) or impose high computational costs when computing fractional derivatives. The proposed method avoids first-order derivative calculations at quadrature points by introdu…

Optimal rate of convergence in the vanishing viscosity for uniformly convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations
The purpose of this note is to provide an optimal rate of convergence in the vanishing viscosity regime for first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations with uniformly convex Hamiltonian. We prove that for a globally Lipschitz-continuous and semiconcave terminal condition the rate is of order O($ε$log$ε$), and we provide an example to show that this rate cannot be sharpened. This improves on the previously known rate of convergence O($\sqrt$$ε$), which was widely believed to be optimal. Our proof c…

Studying Maximal Entanglement and Bell Nonlocality at an Electron-Ion Collider
In this paper, we propose to test quantum entanglement and Bell nonlocality at an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). By computing the spin correlations in quark-antiquark pairs produced via photon-gluon fusion, we find that longitudinally polarized photons produce maximal entanglement at leading order, while transversely polarized photons generate significant entanglement near the threshold and in the ultra-relativistic regime. Compared to hadron colliders, the EIC provides a cleaner experimental env…
