On the Late-Time Instability of MOT solution to the Time-Domain PMCHWT Equation
This paper investigates the late-time instability of marching-on-in-time solution to the time-domain PMCHWT equation. The stability analysis identifies the static solenoidal nullspace of the time-domain electric field integral operator as the primary cause of instability. Furthermore, it reveals that the instability mechanisms of the time-domain PMCHWT equation are fundamentally different from those of the time-domain electric field integral equation. In particular, the PMCHWT's instability is …

Sampled-Based Guided Quantum Walk: Non-variational quantum algorithm for combinatorial optimization
We introduce SamBa-GQW, a novel quantum algorithm for solving binary combinatorial optimization problems of arbitrary degree with no use of any classical optimizer. The algorithm is based on a continuous-time quantum walk on the solution space represented as a graph. The walker explores the solution space to find its way to vertices that minimize the cost function of the optimization problem. The key novelty of our algorithm is an offline classical sampling protocol that gives information about…

Unleashing the Potential of Multimodal LLMs for Zero-Shot Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding
Spatio-temporal video grounding (STVG) aims at localizing the spatio-temporal tube of a video, as specified by the input text query. In this paper, we utilize multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to explore a zero-shot solution in STVG. We reveal two key insights about MLLMs: (1) MLLMs tend to dynamically assign special tokens, referred to as \textit{grounding tokens}, for grounding the text query; and (2) MLLMs often suffer from suboptimal grounding due to the inability to fully integrate …

High-Quality Axion Dark Matter at Gravitational Wave Interferometers
Gravitational effects are known to violate global symmetries, threatening the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) solution to the strong CP problem. Ultraviolet completions featuring a gauged $U(1)$ symmetry, where $U(1)_{\rm PQ}$ arises as an accidental global symmetry, can suppress Planck-suppressed operators, enabling high-quality axions in a mass window where it can also account for the observed dark matter (DM) in the Universe. We show that in such models, the spontaneous breaking of the $U(1)$ gauge symmet…

To this end we establish a semi-global solution under double null foliation and show that the focusing of the gravitational waves and the Weyl spinor flux leads to the formation of a trapped surface.

Just finished "The Word for World is Forest" by Ursula K. Le Guin. Can't believe I didn't read this one earlier, and this strengthens my resolve to finish off the rest of her stuff I have yet to read sooner. I think it benefits somewhat from having read it after "Four Ways to Forgiveness" which gives more of the Hainish context. Certainly none of the blurbs I had read about it did it any measure of justice, which is one reason I hadn't prioritized it. More than being about colonization, it's about a solution to the paradox of tolerance, and both the price and imperfections of that solution. As usual with Le Guin's science fiction, it's a rich companion to anarchist thought.
I think the typical objection to seeing it as an answer to the warlord question would be that it serendipitously positions the indigenous population with more power and a less ruthless opponent than in the imagined scenario, and it uses the League of Worlds as a sort of deus ex machina to foreclose further retribution. Ultimately that's why I think it's more about the paradox of tolerance than anything else, but I also think in regards to the warlord problem that we are too quick to underestimate just how numerous and enthusiastic the opponents of a warlord might be, and to overestimate the strength of technological weapons wielded by frail (and psychologically unarmored) humans.
In any case, Le Guin gives this book's alien humans yet another fascinatingly credible capability, and getting to see the introduction of ansible technology with all its implications is pretty cool too. Maybe not

Discretization and Vanishing Discount Problems for First-order Mean Field Games
This article focuses two issues related to the first-order discounted mean field games system. The first is the time discretization problem. The time discretization approach enables us to prove the existence of solutions (u,m) of the system, where u is a viscosity solution of the discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equation and m is a projected minimizing measure satisfying the continuity equation in the sense of distributions. The second is the vanishing discount problems for both the discounted mean f…

High-Parallel FPGA-Based Discrete Simulated Bifurcation for Large-Scale Optimization
Combinatorial Optimization (CO) problems exhibit exponential complexity, making their resolution challenging. Simulated Adiabatic Bifurcation (aSB) is a quantum-inspired algorithm to obtain approximate solutions to largescale CO problems written in the Ising form. It explores the solution space by emulating the adiabatic evolution of a network of Kerr-nonlinear parametric oscillators (KPOs), where each oscillator represents a variable in the problem. The optimal solution corresponds to the grou…

Well-posedness of McKean-Vlasov generalized multivalued BSDEs
This paper investigates McKean-Vlasov backward stochastic variational inequalities (BSVIs) whose generator depends on the joint law of the solution. We first establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution under globally Lipschitz and linear growth conditions. The analysis is then extended to the more general case of locally Lipschitz and non-linear growth conditions.

Linear non-divergence elliptic equations in a bounded, infinitely winding planar domain
We study the second order elliptic equations of non-divergence form in a planar domain with complicated geometry. In this case the domain winds around a fixed circle infinitely many times and converges to it when the rotating angle goes to infinity. For the homogeneous equation and the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, in the case of bounded drifts, we prove that the maximum of the solution on the cross-section corresponding to a given rotating angle either grows or decays exponentially…

A Design-based Solution for Causal Inference with Text: Can a Language Model Be Too Large?
Many social science questions ask how linguistic properties causally affect an audience's attitudes and behaviors. Because text properties are often interlinked (e.g., angry reviews use profane language), we must control for possible latent confounding to isolate causal effects. Recent literature proposes adapting large language models (LLMs) to learn latent representations of text that successfully predict both treatment and the outcome. However, because the treatment is a component of the tex…

$\mathbf{T^3}$: Reducing Belief Deviation in Reinforcement Learning for Active Reasoning
Active reasoning requires large language models (LLMs) to interact with external sources and strategically gather information to solve problems. Central to this process is belief tracking: maintaining a coherent understanding of the problem state and the missing information toward the solution. However, due to limited reasoning capabilities, LLM-based agents often suffer from belief deviation: they struggle to correctly model beliefs, lose track of problem states, and fall into uninformative or…

Evaluation of Real-Time Preprocessing Methods in AI-Based ECG Signal Analysis
The increasing popularity of portable ECG systems and the growing demand for privacy-compliant, energy-efficient real-time analysis require new approaches to signal processing at the point of data acquisition. In this context, the edge domain is acquiring increasing importance, as it not only reduces latency times, but also enables an increased level of data security. The FACE project aims to develop an innovative machine learning solution for analysing long-term electrocardiograms that synergi…

Asymptotics of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a singularly perturbed system of hyperbolic equations. Part 2. Initial conditions
An asymptotic small parameter expansion of a single Cauchy problem is constructed for a singularly perturbed system of hyperbolic equations describing vibrations of two rigidly connected strings. Equations (such as generalized Korteweg-de Vriesequations) and initial conditions for the terms of the asymptotic expansion of the solution are determined, and under certain assumptions, the residual term is estimated from the residual.

Abstract: In this work we study an age-structured chemostat model with a renewal boundary condition and a coupled substrate equation. The model is nonlinear and consists of a hyperbolic partial differential equation and an ordinary differential equation with nonlinear, nonlocal terms appearing both in the ordinary differential equation and the boundary condition. Both differential equations contain a non-negative control input, while the states of the model are required to be positive. Under an appropriate weak solution framework, we determine the state space and the input space for this model. We prove global existence and uniqueness of solutions for all admissible initial conditions and all allowable control inputs. To this purpose we employ a combination of Banach's fixed-point theorem with implicit solution formulas and useful solution estimates. Finally, we show that the age-structured chemostat model gives a well-defined control system on a metric space.

Think as a Doctor: An Interpretable AI Approach for ICU Mortality Prediction
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) mortality prediction, which estimates a patient's mortality status at discharge using EHRs collected early in an ICU admission, is vital in critical care. For this task, predictive accuracy alone is insufficient; interpretability is equally essential for building clinical trust and meeting regulatory standards, a topic that has attracted significant attention in information system research. Accordingly, an ideal solution should enable intrinsic interpretability and ali…

HardcoreLogic: Challenging Large Reasoning Models with Long-tail Logic Puzzle Games
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on complex tasks, including logical puzzle games that require deriving solutions satisfying all constraints. However, whether they can flexibly apply appropriate rules to varying conditions, particularly when faced with non-canonical game variants, remains an open question. Existing corpora focus on popular puzzles like 9x9 Sudoku, risking overfitting to canonical formats and memorization of solution patterns, which can mask…

Learning Operators through Coefficient Mappings in Fixed Basis Spaces
Operator learning has emerged as a powerful paradigm for approximating solution operators of partial differential equations (PDEs) and other functional mappings. \textcolor{red}{}{Classical approaches} typically adopt a pointwise-to-pointwise framework, where input functions are sampled at prescribed locations and mapped directly to solution values. We propose the Fixed-Basis Coefficient to Coefficient Operator Network (FB-C2CNet), which learns operators in the coefficient space induced by pres…

CoIRL-AD: Collaborative-Competitive Imitation-Reinforcement Learning in Latent World Models for Autonomous Driving
End-to-end autonomous driving models trained solely with imitation learning (IL) often suffer from poor generalization. In contrast, reinforcement learning (RL) promotes exploration through reward maximization but faces challenges such as sample inefficiency and unstable convergence. A natural solution is to combine IL and RL. Moving beyond the conventional two-stage paradigm (IL pretraining followed by RL fine-tuning), we propose CoIRL-AD, a competitive dual-policy framework that enables IL an…

Weak solutions and weak-strong uniqueness for a compressible power-law-Oldroyd--B fluid model
We consider a model of a viscoelastic compressible flow in $R^{3}$ which is additionally shear thickening (the stress tensor corresponds to the power law model, however, the divergence of the velocity is due to the model bounded). We prove existence of a weak solution to this model provided the growth in the power law model is larger or equal than $\frac 52$. We also prove that any sufficiently smooth solution of this model is unique in the class of weak solution, provided extra integrability o…

Convergence Analysis of Galerkin Approximations for the Lindblad Master Equation
This paper analyzes the numerical approximation of the Lindblad master equation on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We employ a classical Galerkin approach for spatial discretization and investigate the convergence of the discretized solution to the exact solution. Using \textit{a priori} estimates, we derive explicit convergence rates and demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through examples motivated by autonomous quantum error correction.

Personalized Federated Fine-Tuning of Vision Foundation Models for Healthcare
Foundation models open up new possibilities for the use of AI in healthcare. However, even when pre-trained on health data, they still need to be fine-tuned for specific downstream tasks. Furthermore, although foundation models reduce the amount of training data required to achieve good performance, obtaining sufficient data is still a challenge. This is due, in part, to restrictions on sharing and aggregating data from different sources to protect patients' privacy. One possible solution to th…

Classification and qualitative properties of positive solutions to double-power nonlinear stationary Schrödinger equations
In this paper, we investigate positive radial solutions to double-power nonlinear stationary Schrodinger equations in three space dimensions. It is now known that the non-uniqueness of H^{1}-positive solutions can occur in three dimensions when the frequency is sufficiently small. Under suitable conditions, in addition to the ground state solution (whose L^{\infty} norm vanishes as the frequency tends to zero), there exists another positive solution that minimizes a different constrained variat…

$L^2$ normal velocity implies strong solution for graphical Brakke flows
We prove that if a one-parameter family of varifolds has an $L^2$ normal velocity $v$ in the sense of Brakke, and if the family is represented as the graph of a continuous function $f$ with continuous spatial derivative $\nabla f$, then $f$ has weak derivatives $\partial_t f, \nabla^2 f \in L^2$, and $v$ coincides with the usual normal velocity of the graph. Moreover, by combining this result with parabolic regularity theory, we show that graphical Brakke flows with forcing term in $L^{p,q}$ an…

On the existence of self-similar solutions to the steady Navier-Stokes equations in high dimensions
We prove that the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with any given $(-3)$-homogeneous, locally Lipschitz external force on $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}$, $4\leq n\leq 16$, have at least one $(-1)$-homogeneous solution which is scale-invariant and regular away from the origin. The global uniqueness of the self-similar solution is obtained as long as the external force is small. The key observation is to exploit a nice relation between the radial component of the velocity and the total…
