A Block Hybrid Method for Third- and Fourth-Order Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems

This study proposes a stable and accurate unified block hybrid method for solving third- and fourth-order nonlinear boundary value problems that overcomes the ill-conditioning limitations of spectral collocation methods by partitioning the domain into blocks and recovering lower-order derivatives through successive integration, thereby achieving high convergence orders with significantly lower condition numbers.

A Randomized Bracketing Method for Derivative-Free Root Finding with Uniform Spacing Contraction

This paper introduces and analyzes a randomized, derivative-free root-finding method that preserves bracketing by sampling multiple interior points to contract the search interval, proving its convergence properties and demonstrating its effectiveness as a robust, tunable alternative for expensive or parallelizable black-box function evaluations.

Verification-domain profiles for a posteriori scalarisation certificates in finite multi-objective optimisation

This paper introduces a scale-invariant verification-domain profile to quantify the robustness of positive scalarisation certificates in finite multi-objective optimisation, establishing a theoretical trichotomy for certifiability and providing efficient row-generation algorithms that achieve exact classification and budget agreements across diverse problem instances.

Critical Thinking Activation During Limits Problem Solving Mediated by Symbolab: An Instrumental Genesis Perspective

This qualitative study examines how first-year business students activate Facione's six critical thinking skills while solving calculus limits problems using Symbolab, revealing a "CT-neutral zone" of mechanical input during early instrumental genesis and identifying distinct evaluation subtypes and cross-stage patterns that bridge critical thinking theory with instrumental genesis processes.

Graph-Theoretic Computation of Degree-Based Topological Indices for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Therapeutics: A Mathematical QSPR Framework for Physicochemical Property Prediction

This study establishes a rigorous graph-theoretic framework for predicting the physicochemical properties of five Hepatocellular Carcinoma therapeutics by demonstrating that six degree-based topological indices, particularly the Yemen Index, exhibit statistically significant correlations with Surface Tension through linear regression analysis.

Sharp Boundedness and Stability Estimates for Pseudodifferential Operators Associated with Fractional Hankel--Clifford Transforms

This paper establishes sharp operator-norm and composition bounds for pseudodifferential operators associated with the fractional Hankel–Clifford transform via a closed-form evaluation of a geometric moment integral, and applies these results to derive a stability estimate for a singular Bessel-type Cauchy problem while identifying the specific obstruction to a four-parameter extension.
