Efficient Time–Frequency Representations via the Quadratic-Phase Hilbert Transform

This paper introduces the short-time quadratic-phase Fourier transform (ST-QPFT) and its multi-resolution variant to overcome the global limitations of the quadratic-phase Hilbert transform by localizing the kernel, while establishing their fundamental mathematical properties, clarifying their relationship to classical transforms via a chirp-reduction lemma, and validating the theory through numerical simulations.

Existence analysis of nonlinear qq-fractional differential inclusions with pp-Laplacian operators and an aerospace vibration-modeling illustration

This paper establishes the existence of solutions for a coupled system of nonlinear qq-fractional differential inclusions involving nested pp-Laplacian operators and nonlocal boundary conditions, while demonstrating the practical relevance of the proposed Caputo qq-fractional damping model through an aerospace vibration application.

Nonlinear Boundary Dynamics in Reaction-Diffusion-Advection Systems with Nonlocal Delay: Bifurcation and Stability

This paper presents a unified Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction framework to analyze the bifurcation and stability of reaction-diffusion-advection systems with nonlocal delay and nonlinear boundary conditions, deriving explicit criteria for steady-state and Hopf bifurcations that reveal how advection, competition, and boundary self-regulation jointly determine system dynamics.

Constructing Mathematical Meaning through Authentic Nutrition Problems in Higher Education

This study demonstrates that undergraduate nutrition students construct meaningful mathematical understanding in STEM contexts not merely by achieving procedural accuracy, but by coordinating quantities, representations, and disciplinary assumptions through authentic problem-solving, a process best captured by analyzing collaborative reasoning and individual artifacts rather than aggregate grades alone.

A scale-covariant pre-solve screening algorithm for scalar finite-difference discretizations on positive nonuniform meshes

This paper presents a scale-covariant, pre-solve screening algorithm for scalar finite-difference discretizations on positive nonuniform meshes that combines a deterministic, certified acceptance test with a risk-calibrated empirical rejection rule to validate stability and provide error certificates without requiring a reference solution.
