Discriminant-Guided Preprocessing for Local Solution Algorithms of Second-Order Euler Operators

This paper introduces a discriminant-guided preprocessing method implemented in Macaulay2 that accelerates the computation of local solutions for second-order Euler-type differential operators near x = 0 by detecting complex conjugate indicial roots to construct an oscillatory basis, thereby reducing symbolic branch-management overhead and execution time without impacting non-oscillatory cases.

Threshold Dynamics of a Spatially Heterogeneous SVEIAR-B Reaction-Diffusion Model under Media Intervention *

This paper establishes the global well-posedness and threshold dynamics of a spatially heterogeneous SVEIAR-B reaction-diffusion epidemic model incorporating media intervention, demonstrating that disease extinction or persistence is determined by the basic reproduction number R0R_0 while highlighting the critical roles of media intensity, vaccination, and spatial heterogeneity in shaping epidemic outcomes.

A Variable-Step IMEX-BDF2 Finite Element Method for the Navier–Stokes Equations: Optimal L2L^2 Error Estimates for Velocity and Pressure

This paper establishes fully optimal L2L^2 error estimates for both velocity and pressure in a variable-step IMEX-BDF2 finite element method for the Navier–Stokes equations by leveraging discrete orthogonal convolution kernels and negative-norm arguments to address time-step variations.

A Facultative Mutualism Model with Internal Competition for Interactions between University and Technical-Vocational Qualification Frameworks in Tanzania

This study employs a facultative mutualism model based on nonlinear differential equations to demonstrate that balancing articulation mechanisms with institutional competition is essential for achieving a stable, sustainable, and mutually beneficial interaction between Tanzania's University and Technical-Vocational Qualification Frameworks.

A Block Hybrid Method for Third- and Fourth-Order Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems

This study proposes a stable and accurate unified block hybrid method for solving third- and fourth-order nonlinear boundary value problems that overcomes the ill-conditioning limitations of spectral collocation methods by partitioning the domain into blocks and recovering lower-order derivatives through successive integration, thereby achieving high convergence orders with significantly lower condition numbers.

A Randomized Bracketing Method for Derivative-Free Root Finding with Uniform Spacing Contraction

This paper introduces and analyzes a randomized, derivative-free root-finding method that preserves bracketing by sampling multiple interior points to contract the search interval, proving its convergence properties and demonstrating its effectiveness as a robust, tunable alternative for expensive or parallelizable black-box function evaluations.
