Packing dimension of vertical projections in the Heisenberg group

This paper establishes that for Borel subsets of the first Heisenberg group with Hausdorff dimension between 2 and 3, the packing dimensions of their vertical projections are almost surely at least the set's Hausdorff dimension, while also providing an improved almost sure lower bound for the Hausdorff dimensions of these projections in a specific sub-range, with both results relying on a variable coefficient local smoothing inequality.

Polynomial quasi-Trefftz DG for PDEs with smooth coefficients: elliptic problems

This paper introduces a polynomial quasi-Trefftz discontinuous Galerkin method for variable-coefficient elliptic problems that utilizes Taylor polynomial-based approximate solutions to achieve higher accuracy and high-order convergence compared to standard DG schemes, while also addressing non-homogeneous sources through local particular solutions.

New Heuristics for the Operation of an Ambulance Fleet under Uncertainty

This paper proposes and evaluates a set of new heuristics for ambulance selection and reassignment decisions under uncertainty, demonstrating through a rollout approach applied to real-world emergency medical service data that these methods significantly outperform existing strategies in reducing response times while maintaining real-time computational efficiency.

Robustness to Model Approximation, Model Learning From Data, and Sample Complexity in Wasserstein Regular MDPs

This paper establishes robustness bounds for discrete-time stochastic optimal control under Wasserstein model approximation, demonstrating that the performance loss of policies derived from approximate models is controlled by the Wasserstein-1 distance between transition kernels, thereby enabling rigorous sample complexity analysis for empirical model and noise distribution learning where stronger convergence criteria may fail.
