A Petrov-Galerkin Quintic B-Spline Model for Nonlinear Wave Dynamics in the Time-Fractional Benney-Lin Equation

This paper presents an accurate and stable numerical framework for solving the time-fractional Benney-Lin equation by combining a Petrov-Galerkin finite element method with quintic B-spline basis functions for spatial discretization and the Grünwald-Letnikov definition for temporal fractional derivatives, effectively capturing nonlinear wave dynamics and memory effects through comprehensive error analysis and numerical experiments.

Controlling the Condition Number of Multiquadric RBF Matrices via Poisson Disk Sampling

This paper demonstrates that imposing Poisson disk sampling constraints on interpolation centers allows for the minimization of the condition number of Multiquadric Radial Basis Function matrices to a constant value independent of the number of points, thereby ensuring numerical stability through an adaptive relationship between the minimum inter-point distance, the shape parameter, and the total number of points.

Limit theorems for supercritical Mandelbrot's cascade in a random environment

This paper establishes a Fourier analytic framework for supercritical Mandelbrot cascades in a random environment to prove the existence of harmonic moments, demonstrate the exponential decay of characteristic functions, and derive refined limit theorems including improved central limit theorems, Edgeworth expansions, and a renewal theorem for logYn\log Y_n.

Variance component estimation in linear ill-posed models via null-space projections

This paper proposes a regularization-free variance component estimation framework for linear ill-posed models that utilizes null-space projections to eliminate unknown parameters and estimate variances directly from unbiased misclosures, thereby overcoming the bias, instability, and computational inefficiency inherent in conventional regularization-dependent approaches.

Auditing Generative AI Error Patterns in Applied Differential Calculus: Evidence from ChatGPT and Gemini

This descriptive-evaluative study audits ChatGPT and Gemini's performance in applied differential calculus, revealing that while both models can execute isolated procedures, they frequently fail in translating narrative conditions to functions, handling boundary constraints, and maintaining arithmetic consistency, thereby suggesting their solutions should be used as critique artifacts rather than unquestioned answers in education.

Complexity Reveals the Microscopic Origins of Macroscopic Dynamics

This paper demonstrates that spectral localization in complex networks fundamentally shifts the understanding of macroscopic dynamics from global eigenmodes to the local behavior of dominant nodes, thereby enabling a node-resolved framework that identifies microscopic drivers and predicts transitions in heterogeneous systems where classical stability theories fail.
