Optimized Fish Locomotion using Design-by-Morphing and Bayesian Optimization

This study introduces a computational framework combining Design-by-Morphing and Bayesian optimization to generate undulatory swimming profiles that achieve 16%–35% higher propulsive efficiency than traditional anguilliform and carangiform modes by optimizing kinematic parameters and redistributing energy through favorable surface stress distributions.

Revisiting Graph Modification via Disk Scaling: From One Radius to Interval-Based Radii

This paper generalizes the disk scaling model for graph modification by allowing rescaled disks to choose radii within a specific interval, establishing that the problem is in XP for any polynomially recognizable graph class while providing a detailed complexity landscape that includes NP-hardness and FPT results for cluster graphs, polynomial-time solvability for complete graphs, and W[1]-hardness for connected graphs.

Quadratic polarity and polar Fenchel-Young divergences from the canonical Legendre polarity

This paper establishes a unified framework linking quadratic polarities to deformed Legendre transformations via linear algebra on homogeneous coordinates, defines polar divergences that generalize Fenchel-Young and Bregman divergences, and elucidates the reference duality in information geometry through total polar Fenchel-Young divergences.
