Lyapunov Characterization for ISS of Impulsive Switched Systems

This paper establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for the input-to-state stability (ISS) of impulsive switched systems with both stable and unstable modes by introducing time-varying ISS-Lyapunov functions under relaxed mode-dependent average dwell and leave time constraints, while also providing methods to construct decreasing Lyapunov functions and guarantee ISS even with unknown switching signals.

Separable commutative algebras in equivariant homotopy theory

This paper investigates separable commutative algebras in equivariant homotopy theory, establishing conditions under which they are "standard" (arising from finite GG-sets) and demonstrating that while all such algebras are standard for pp-groups, non-standard examples exist for general finite groups, with the classification further refined by the presence of multiplicative norms and the solvability of the group.

The Second Moment of Sums of Hecke Eigenvalues II

This paper computes the first and second moments of sums of normalised Hecke eigenvalues over holomorphic cusp forms of large weight, demonstrating that in the range k2/(8π2)xk12/5ϵk^2/(8\pi^2)\leq x\leq k^{12/5-\epsilon}, the second moment scales between x1/2o(1)x^{1/2-o(1)} and x1/2x^{1/2}, a sharp contrast to the linear growth observed in the lower range xk2o(1)x\leq k^{2-o(1)}.

Curse of Dimensionality in Neural Network Optimization

This paper demonstrates that training shallow neural networks with Lipschitz continuous activation functions to approximate smooth target functions suffers from the curse of dimensionality, as the population risk decays at a rate bounded by a power of time that depends inversely on the input dimension, regardless of whether the optimization is analyzed via empirical or population risk or through 2-Wasserstein gradient flow dynamics.
