A unified evolution theory for workload distributions with mixed atomic and continuous components in Markov processes

This paper proposes a unified measure-theoretic framework that characterizes the evolution of mixed atomic and continuous workload distributions in scalar Markov processes through coupled equations, successfully recovering classical results and extending the analysis to complex systems involving dead bands, regime switching, and hysteresis control.

On the epistemological model of fractions arithmetic: Learning the praxeologies from classroom works

This study, utilizing the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic to analyze sixth-grade classroom data, argues that understanding fractions as quantities of units and recognizing arithmetic operations as manifestations of a common organization are essential for developing a coherent and unified understanding of fraction arithmetic.

Fractional Model and Numerical Algorithms for Predicting Cactus Cochineal (Dactylopius opuntiae) Infestation on Prickly Pear with Quarantine and Treatment Strategies

This paper develops a Caputo–Fabrizio fractional mathematical model to analyze the dynamics of *Dactylopius opuntiae* infestation on prickly pear in Morocco, establishing solution existence, deriving stability conditions via the effective reproduction number, and employing numerical algorithms and optimal control theory to evaluate quarantine and treatment strategies for effective pest management.
