Universal outlier hypothesis testing refers to a hypothesis testing problem where one observes a large number of length-$n$ sequences -- the majority of which are distributed according to the typical distribution $π$ and a small number are distributed according to the outlier distribution $μ$ -- and one wishes to decide, which of...
Cybersecurity in telecommunication networks often leads to hard combinatorial optimization problems that are challenging to solve with classical methods. This work investigates the practical feasibility of using quantum annealing to address the Restricted Vertex Minimum Multicut Problem. The problem is formulated as a Quadratic...
Carbon mineralization in basaltic rocks may offer rapid, permanent \ce{CO2} storage, yet fundamental controls on reactive transport and precipitation patterns remain poorly understood. This study integrates flow-through experiments at 80\degree C using \ce{CO2}-acidified seawater with geochemical simulation and multi-scale pore...
In this paper, two formulations for the computation of the dyadic Green's functions of Maxwell's equations in layered media are presented in details. The first formulation derived using TE/TM decomposition is well-known and intensively used in engineering community while the second formulation derived using vector potential and a...
Accurate information on the distance dependence of resonance energy transfer (RET) is crucial for its utilization as a spectroscopic ruler \re{of} nanometer scale distances. In this regard, understanding the effects of donor-acceptor quantum coherence and non-Markovian bath, which become significant at short distances, has significant...
We study self-organization in a minimally nonlinear model of large random ecosystems. Populations evolve over time according to a piecewise linear system of ordinary differential equations subject to a non-negativity constraint resulting in discrete time extinction and revival events. The dynamics are generated by a random elliptic...
We show that quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a massive scalar field in Kerr-de Sitter and Myers-Perry black holes exhibit an exceptional line (EL), which is a continuous set of exceptional points (EPs) in parameter space, at which two QNM frequencies and their associated solutions coincide. We find that the EL appears in the parameter...
In digital imaging, image demosaicing is a crucial first step which recovers the RGB information from a color filter array (CFA). Oftentimes, deep learning is utilized to perform image demosaicing. Given that most modern digital imaging applications occur on mobile platforms, applying deep learning to demosaicing requires lightweight...
Deformable scenes violate the rigidity assumptions underpinning classical visual--inertial odometry (VIO), often leading to over-fitting to local non-rigid motion or to severe camera pose drift when deformation dominates visual parallax. In this paper, we introduce DefVINS, the first visual-inertial odometry pipeline designed to...
A defining quantity of a physical system is its energy which is represented by the Hamiltonian. In closed quantum mechanical or/and coherent wave-based systems the Hamiltonian is introduced as a Hermitian operator which ensures real energy spectrum and secures the decomposition of any state over a complete basis set spanning the space...
Computing is an indispensable component of nearly all technologies and is ubiquitous for vast segments of society. It is also essential to discoveries and innovations in most disciplines. However, while past grand challenges in science have involved computing as one of the tools to address the challenge, these challenges have not been...
A novel design on miniaturized low-pass filters from artificial transmission line structures is proposed. Reactance components, i.e. capacitors and inductors, are directly constructed from microstrip structures based on electromagnetic simulation and parameter extraction. The constructed reactance components are integrated to build...
Long-term time series forecasting using transformers is hampered by the quadratic complexity of self-attention and the rigidity of uniform patching, which may be misaligned with the data's semantic structure. In this paper, we introduce the \textit{B-Spline Adaptive Tokenizer (BSAT)}, a novel, parameter-free method that adaptively...
We present a general regularization procedure for piecewise smooth vector fields whose discontinuity locus is a variety of normal crossings type. We show that such regularization can be smoothed through a finite sequence of blowings-up, thereby reducing the problem to study of the dynamics of a smooth vector field in a manifold with...
Many multi-agent interaction scenarios can be naturally modeled as noncooperative games, where each agent's decisions depend on others' future actions. However, deploying game-theoretic planners for autonomous decision-making requires a specification of all agents' objectives. To circumvent this practical difficulty, recent work...
With streaming floating-point numbers being increasingly prevalent, effective and efficient compression of such data is critical. Compression schemes must be able to exploit the similarity, or smoothness, of consecutive numbers and must be able to contend with extreme conditions, such as high-precision values or the absence of...
This paper reformulates Fermat's Last Theorem as an embedding problem of information-geometric structures. We reinterpret the Fermat equation as an $n$-th moment constraint, constructing a statistical manifold $\mathcal{M}_n$ of generalized normal distributions via the Maximum Entropy Principle. By Chentsov's Theorem, the natural...
Existing paradigms for inferring pedestrian crossing behavior, ranging from statistical models to supervised learning methods, demonstrate limited generalizability and perform inadequately on new sites. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a shift from numerical pattern fitting to semantic, context-aware behavioral...
Effective exploration remains a key challenge in RL, especially with non-stationary rewards or high-dimensional policies. We introduce ARISE, a lightweight framework that enhances reinforcement learning by augmenting standard policy-gradient methods with a compact swarm-based exploration layer. ARISE blends policy actions with...
Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-rays in pulsars, and their surrounding halos, are interpreted to originate from the leptonic channel, electromagnetic interactions through electron inverse Compton (IC) scattering. In the hadronic scenario, TeV-PeV gamma-rays are generated from the decay of neutral pions, which are produced from cosmic...
Bounded-context agents fail when intermediate reasoning exceeds an effective working-memory budget. We study compressed query delegation (CQD): (i) compress a high-dimensional latent reasoning state into a low-rank tensor query, (ii) delegate the minimal query to an external oracle, and (iii) update the latent state via Riemannian...
Ticket troubleshooting refers to the process of analyzing and resolving problems that are reported through a ticketing system. In large organizations offering a wide range of services, this task is highly complex due to the diversity of submitted tickets and the need for specialized domain knowledge. In particular, troubleshooting in...
In this paper, we obtain results on exponential stability of second order delay differential equations, which are based on a version of the Floquet theory for delay differential equations of the second order we proposed. Our version allows researchers to preserve the order of equation and to obtain analogues of the classical results...
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) approach to cost-optimal task scheduling in a production line. The system consists of a set of serial processing tasks, each with a given duration, unit execution cost, and precedence constraints, which must be assigned to an unlimited number of stations subject to a per-station duration...
In this work, a massive scalar field theory incorporating Lorentz violation is investigated. The symmetry breaking is introduced via a background traceless antisymmetric tensor. Within the framework of Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD), the effects of space-time compactification are explored, allowing the simultaneous treatment of thermal...
