An Improvement-Path Framework and an Exact Algorithm for Single-Machine Scheduling with Release Times

This paper proposes a novel improvement-path framework and an exact iterative repair algorithm that, by modeling machine idle time as negative waiting time to simplify the problem structure and characterizing queue discontinuity as the sole obstacle to improvement, guarantees finding a globally optimal schedule for the NP-hard single-machine scheduling problem with release times in finite time.

A Tensor Greedy Double-Block Extended Kaczmarz Method for Inconsistent Tensor Linear Systems under the t-product

This paper proposes the Tensor Greedy Double Block Extended Kaczmarz (TGDBEK) method, a novel iterative algorithm that dynamically selects active tensor slices based on residual norms to efficiently solve large-scale inconsistent tensor linear systems under the t-product, demonstrating superior convergence and performance over existing state-of-the-art solvers in both synthetic benchmarks and real-world image deblurring applications.

Optimal second-order convergence of the shifted fractional trapezoidal rule for subdiffusion at the Crank--Nicolson point

This paper establishes that the shifted fractional trapezoidal rule with the Crank–Nicolson parameter (θ = 1/2) achieves optimal second-order convergence for subdiffusion problems with smooth initial data by proving that the apparent singularity at the Nyquist frequency is removable and deriving error estimates via a modified Laplace-transform analysis.

Robustness of Double-Word Addition Algorithms under Overlapping Inputs

This paper establishes the robustness and error bounds of double-word addition algorithms when input components overlap, demonstrating that Fast2Sum remains exact under specific conditions and showing that a simplified multiplication–addition kernel on AVX-512 hardware achieves significant throughput gains with minimal impact on accuracy.

A New Parametric Kernel Function Based on an Archimedean Copula Generator with Application to Primal-Dual Interior-Point Methods

This paper introduces a new parametric kernel function for primal-dual interior-point methods in linear optimization, derived from the Archimedean Clayton copula generator, which achieves the optimal O(nlognlog(n/ε))O(\sqrt{n} \log n \log(n/\varepsilon)) iteration bound for large-update methods and demonstrates superior or tied-best performance across all tested instances compared to 54 competing kernel configurations.

A Discriminant Condition for Parameter-Space Discretization in Coupled Oscillator Systems: The Tuning-Fork Mode

This paper establishes that a specific algebraic identity (b2=ac+1b^2 = ac + 1) serves as a necessary and sufficient condition for a coupled oscillator system to possess a unique positive real eigenvalue, effectively discretizing its parameter space onto a hyperboloid and providing an algebraic explanation for the fundamental frequency locking observed in standard A4 tuning forks.
