Characteristic quasi-polynomials of truncated arrangements

Given an (affine) integral arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the reduction of $\mathcal{A}$ modulo an arbitrary positive integer $q$ naturally yields an arrangement $\mathcal{A}_q$ in $\mathbb{Z}_q^n$. Our primary objective is to study the combinatorial aspects of the restriction $\mathcal{A}^{(B,\bm b)}$ to the solution...

Diamond Open Access: The AMR Experiment

Diamond open access journals charge neither readers nor authors. Despite long-standing support for this ideal within mathematics, relatively few such journals exist. This article documents the Association for Mathematical Research's experience building and operating diamond open access journals, focusing on the infrastructure, cost,...

Inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations with competing singular nonlinearities

We study nonlinear elliptic equations that arise as stationary states of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations with competing singular nonlinearities. The model involves the Laplacian combined with weighted power-type terms and naturally leads to a variational formulation in a weighted Sobolev space obtained from the...

The 2-systole on compact Kähler surfaces with positive scalar curvature

We study the 2-systole on compact Kähler surfaces of positive scalar curvature. For any such surface $(X,ω)$, we prove the sharp estimate $\min_X S(ω)\cdot\operatorname{sys}_2(ω)\le 12π$, with equality if and only if $X=\mathbb{P}^2$ and $ω$ is the Fubini-Study metric. Using the classification of positive scalar curvature Kähler...

Relating Checkpoint Update Probabilities to Momentum Parameters in Single-Loop Variance Reduction Methods

We propose a single-loop variance-reduced acceleration framework, which relates checkpoint update probabilities to momentum parameters, for solving the composite general convex problem where the smooth part has the finite-sum structure. Under the proposed framework, the growth rate of the momentum parameter is further altered,...

Homotopical algebra of Lie-Rinehart pairs

Dwyer-Kan localization at pairs of quasi-isomorphisms of the category of dg Lie-Rinehart pairs $(A,M)$, where $A$ is a semi-free cdga over a field $k$ of characteristic zero and $M$ a cell complex in $A$-modules, is shown to be equivalent to that of strong homotopy Lie-Rinehart (SH LR) pairs satisfying the same cofibrancy condition....

Rational-Kernel Fractional Evolution Equations with Almost Sectorial Operators: A Resolvent Framework Unifying ABC and W Dynamics

We study fractional evolution equations driven by rational-kernel time operators with non-singular memory, including the Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo operator and a generalized W-operator. These operators are characterized by Laplace symbols that do not necessarily belong to the classical Bernstein class. The analysis is carried out in the...

Constructing Cospectral Vertices Through Orbits of Subgraphs

A constructive method is given for obtaining cospectral vertices in undirected graphs, along with an operation that preserves this construction. We prove that the construction yields cospectral vertices, as well as strongly cospectral vertices under additional conditions. Furthermore, we generalize cospectral vertices to the case of...

The W-Operator: A Volterra Fractional Time Operator with Sharp Bernstein Threshold and Regularized Memory

We introduce a new two-parameter fractional time operator with Volterra structure, denoted by ${}^{W}D_{t}^{α,β}$, defined through the Laplace symbol \[ Φ_{α,β}(s) = \frac{s^α}{\bigl(1+(1-α)s^{α-1}\bigr)^β}, \qquad 0<α<1, \ β\ge0. \] The operator preserves the Caputo-type high-frequency behavior while allowing a controlled...

Global Hölder Solvability of parabolic equations on domains with capacity density conditions

We investigate the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for linear parabolic equations in divergence form. Under mild assumptions on the source term and the domain, we prove the existence of globally Hölder continuous solutions. Notably, our results accommodate data exhibiting singularities nearly as critical as the inverse square of the distance...

Higher order H{ö}lder approximation by solutions of second order elliptic equations

For a given second order elliptic operation $\mathcal{L}$ in a domain $Ω\subset{\mathbb{R}}^\mathbf{N}$, $\mathbf{N}\ $, and a compact set $\mathbf{K}\subsetΩ$, order $\mathbf{N}$-$2$-Ahlfors-David regular, we define the space $\mathcal{H}^{\mathbf{r}+ω}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathbf{K})$ of continuous functions $f(x),\, x\in\mathbf{K}$,...

Adaptive Control of Unknown Linear Switched Systems via Policy Gradient Methods

We consider the policy gradient adaptive control (PGAC) framework, which adaptively updates a control policy in real time, by performing data-based gradient descent steps on the linear quadratic regulator cost. This method has empirically shown to react to changing circumstances, such as model parameters, efficiently. To formalize...

An overview of the fractional-order gradient descent method and its applications

Recent studies have shown that fractional calculus is an effective alternative mathematical tool in various scientific fields. However, some investigations indicate that results established in differential and integral calculus do not necessarily hold true in fractional calculus. In this work we will compare various methods presented...

Mathematical aspects of registration methods in bounded domains

Registration methods in bounded domains have received significant attention in the model reduction literature, as a valuable tool for nonlinear approximation. The aim of this work is to provide a concise yet complete overview of relevant results for registration methods in $n$-dimensional domains, from the perspective of parametric...

A Relaxation Method for Nonsmooth Nonlinear Optimization with Binary Constraints

We study binary optimization problems of the form \( \min_{x\in\{-1,1\}^n} f(Ax-b) \) with possibly nonsmooth loss \(f\). Following the lifted rank-one semidefinite programming (SDP) approach\cite{qian2023matrix}, we develop a majorization-minimization algorithm by using the difference-of-convexity (DC) reformuation for the rank-one...

G-BSDEs with time-varying monotonicity condition

In this paper, we study backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion where the generator has time-varying monotonicity with respect to y and Lipsitz property with respect to z. Through the Yosida approximation, we have proved the existence and uniqueness of the solutions to these equations.

Remarks on $d$-independent topological groups

A non-trivial topological group is called \emph{$d$-independent} if for every subgroup of cardinality less than the continuum there exists a countable dense subgroup intersecting it trivially. This notion was introduced by Márquez and Tkachenko and has been intensively studied in the metrizable setting. In particular, they proved that...

Transducing Linear Decompositions of Tournaments

Bojańczyk, Pilipczuk, and Grohe [LICS '18] proved that for graphs of bounded linear clique-width, clique-decompositions of bounded width can be produced by a CMSO transduction. We show that in the case of tournaments, a first-order transduction suffices. This implies that the logics CMSO and existential MSO are equivalent over bounded...

Coupling Brownian loop soups and random walk loop soups at all polynomial scales

Lawler and Trujillo Ferreras constructed a well-known coupling between the Brownian loop soups on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and the (discrete-time) random walk loop soups on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ (one rescales the random walk loops by $1/N$, their time parametrizations by $1/(2N^2)$, and lets $N\to \infty$), which led to numerous applications. It...

A Fourth-Order Cut-cell Multigrid Method for Solving Elliptic Equations on Arbitrary Domains

To numerically solve a generic elliptic equation on two-dimensional domains with rectangular Cartesian grids, we propose a cut-cell geometric multigrid method that features (1) general algorithmic steps that apply to two-dimensional constant-coefficient elliptic equations with both divergence and non-divergence forms and all types of...
