Performance Comparison of Gate-Based and Adiabatic Quantum Computing for AC Power Flow Problem

This paper presents the first direct comparison between gate-based quantum computing (using QAOA) and adiabatic quantum computing (via Ising models) for solving AC power flow problems, demonstrating through numerical experiments on a 4-bus system how these paradigms and quantum-inspired solvers trade off accuracy, scalability, and practical viability for future electricity grid optimization.

Leveraging higher-order time integration methods for improved computational efficiency in a rainshaft model

This paper demonstrates that replacing first-order time integration with higher-order Runge-Kutta methods and adaptive time stepping in the E3SMv3 rain microphysics model significantly improves computational efficiency and accuracy, achieving over 10x speedup compared to the default scheme while eliminating the need for stability-limiting ad hoc procedures.

Ill-Conditioning in Dictionary-Based Dynamic-Equation Learning: A Systems Biology Case Study

This paper systematically analyzes how numerical ill-conditioning caused by multicollinearity in candidate function libraries undermines the robustness of sparse regression for discovering biological dynamics, demonstrating that while orthogonal polynomial bases can improve model recovery under specific data distributions, they often fail or perform worse than monomial libraries when data sampling deviates from their associated weight functions.

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.

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.
