Alpay Folded Prime Enumerator via gcd and Floors: Exact Enumeration, Record-Lift, and Non-Synonymy/Minimality Certificates
A single closed expression $f_{\text{Alpay},U}(x)$ is presented which, for every integer $x\ge 0$, returns the $(x+1)$-th prime $p_{x+1}$. The construction uses only integer arithmetic, greatest common divisors, and floor functions. A prime indicator $I(j)$ is encoded through a short $\gcd$-sum; a cumulative counter $S(i)=\sum_{j\le i}I(j)$ equals $π(i)$; and a folded step $A(i,x)$ counts precisely up to the next prime index without piecewise branching. A corollary shows that for any fixed int…

This study aims to introduce a new lifetime distribution, called the record-based transformed log-logistic distribution, to the literature. We obtain this distribution using a record-based transformation map based on the distributions of upper record values. We explore some mathematical properties of the suggested distribution, namely the quantile function, hazard function, moments, order statistics, and stochastic ordering.

RMSL: Weakly-Supervised Insider Threat Detection with Robust Multi-sphere Learning
Insider threat detection aims to identify malicious user behavior by analyzing logs that record user interactions. Due to the lack of fine-grained behavior-level annotations, detecting specific behavior-level anomalies within user behavior sequences is challenging. Unsupervised methods face high false positive rates and miss rates due to the inherent ambiguity between normal and anomalous behaviors. In this work, we instead introduce weak labels of behavior sequences, which have lower annotatio…
