Mass-Lumped Virtual Element Method with Strong Stability-Preserving Runge-Kutta Time Stepping for Two-Dimensional Parabolic Problems

This paper introduces a mass-lumped Virtual Element Method combined with explicit Strong Stability-Preserving Runge-Kutta time stepping for two-dimensional parabolic problems on general polygonal meshes, establishing theoretical stability under a classical O(h2)\mathcal{O}(h^2) CFL condition and demonstrating optimal convergence rates and robustness against mesh distortion through numerical experiments.

Motivic Homotopy Groups of Spheres and Free Summands of Stably Free Modules

This paper establishes that motivic stable homotopy groups of spheres over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are determined by pp-completed spheres and motivic cohomology, enabling the proof that complex realization induces isomorphisms in specific bidegrees and resolving the conditions under which the universal stably-free module of type (n,n1)(n,n-1) admits a free summand.

Efficient optimization-based invariant-domain-preserving limiters in solving gas dynamics equations

This paper introduces efficient splitting methods, specifically Douglas-Rachford and Davis-Yin, to implement optimization-based limiters that enforce invariant-domain preservation in high-order numerical schemes for gas dynamics, demonstrating their robustness and performance through applications to discontinuous Galerkin methods on compressible flow benchmarks.

Radial and Non-Radial Solution Structures for Quasilinear Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman Equations in Bounded Settings

This paper establishes the existence, uniqueness, and global regularity of positive classical solutions to quasilinear Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations on bounded convex domains via a constructive weighted monotone iteration scheme, while providing a probabilistic derivation from controlled Itô diffusions and demonstrating applications in stochastic production planning and image restoration.

Stochastic Reaction Networks Within Interacting Compartments with Content-Dependent Fragmentation

This paper establishes new sufficient conditions for the non-explosivity and positive recurrence of stochastic reaction networks within compartments whose fragmentation rates depend on their internal species content, demonstrating that previous theoretical results for content-independent dynamics fail in this more general, biologically relevant setting.

Une conjecture CstC_{\rm st} pour la cohomologie à support compact

This paper demonstrates that adjoining pp-adic analogs of logp\log p and log2πi\log 2\pi i to the ring of analytic functions on the Fargues-Fontaine curve eliminates its Galois cohomology in degrees 1\geq 1, thereby enabling the formulation of CdRC_{\rm dR} and CstC_{\rm st}-type conjectures for the compact support cohomology of pp-adic analytic varieties.
