Exploring Multi-Rhythmicity in the light of Hilbert's 16th Problem : A Liénard--Levenson-Smith Perspective and the Potency of Perturbative Methods

This paper synthesizes mathematical theory and perturbative methods to classify nonlinear oscillators within the generalized Liénard--Levenson--Smith framework, offering insights into Hilbert's 16th problem and the dynamics of multi-rhythmic biological systems while critically addressing the framework's limitations regarding the uniqueness of limit cycles.

An Interior-Only Framework for Hessian Recovery: The KR Defect Method, with Uniqueness, Stability, and Boundary-Constrained Applications

This paper introduces the KR defect method, an interior-only framework for Hessian recovery that utilizes strictly internal evaluation points to enable first-order consistent curvature estimation on convex domains, scattered data, and boundary-constrained scenarios where traditional central finite-difference stencils fail, supported by rigorous theoretical proofs and validated through numerical experiments.

Residual-Certified Fractional and Time-Delayed Duffing Dynamics: A Volterra--Memory Framework for Continuous and Discrete Past Dependence

This paper presents a residual-certified computational framework using Volterra formulations and independent error metrics to systematically compare and distinguish the dynamical behaviors of continuous fractional memory, discrete time-delay, and hybrid mechanisms in nonlinear Duffing oscillators, demonstrating that their observed differences are intrinsic rather than numerical artifacts.

Collaboration versus Specialization in Service Systems with Impatient Customers

This paper investigates optimal server assignment policies in tandem queueing systems with impatient customers and collaborative efficiencies, demonstrating that while equal-skilled servers should always collaborate, task-dependent skills lead to a threshold-based policy that balances specialization with dynamic collaboration to maximize long-run throughput.

A two-stage stochastic optimization model for synchronized two-echelon routing problems

This paper proposes a two-stage stochastic optimization model for synchronized two-echelon city logistics that minimizes lateness, costs, and road mode share, demonstrating a 37% reduction in expected costs compared to deterministic approaches and highlighting the superior reliability and sustainability of flexible sailing services over relocating storage units under uncertainty.
