Multilevel Training for Kolmogorov Arnold Networks

This paper introduces a multilevel training framework for Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) that leverages their structural equivalence to multichannel MLPs and the properties of spline basis functions to create a properly nested hierarchy of models, resulting in orders-of-magnitude improvements in training accuracy and speed, particularly for physics-informed neural networks.

An efficient and accurate numerical method for computing the ground states of three-dimensional rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates under strongly anisotropic trap

This paper proposes an efficient, spectrally accurate, and memory-economic numerical method combining a preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm with an anisotropic truncated kernel method to compute the complex ground states of three-dimensional rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates under strongly anisotropic traps, successfully addressing challenges like kernel singularities and fast rotation to reveal novel patterns such as bent vortices.

Worst-case LpL_p-approximation of periodic functions using median lattice algorithms

This paper proves that a median lattice algorithm, which aggregates multiple rank-1 lattice sampling rules via componentwise median, achieves high-probability, nearly optimal worst-case LpL_p-approximation rates for multivariate periodic functions in weighted Korobov spaces, with dimension-independent constants for LL_\infty under specific weight summability conditions.

Comparison of Lubrication Theory and Stokes Flow in Corner Geometries with Flow Separation

This paper investigates the sensitivity of the Reynolds lubrication equation to large surface gradients and compares its predictions with Stokes flow solutions in various corner geometries, demonstrating that while pressure drop errors increase with steeper gradients, the recirculation zones observed in Stokes flows do not significantly disrupt bulk flow characteristics.
