Lipschitz Stability for an Inverse Problem of Biharmonic Wave Equations with Damping

This paper establishes Lipschitz stability for the simultaneous recovery of a variable density coefficient and initial displacement in a damped biharmonic wave equation by proving the forward problem's well-posedness via contraction semigroups and deriving explicit stability estimates that highlight the enhanced stability provided by the biharmonic structure and its dependence on the damping coefficient.

Pretrain Finite Element Method: A Pretraining and Warm-start Framework for PDEs via Physics-Informed Neural Operators

This paper introduces the Pretrained Finite Element Method (PFEM), a framework that combines a physics-informed neural operator pretraining stage with a conventional FEM warm-start stage to achieve highly efficient and accurate solutions for partial differential equations across complex geometries and material properties.

A Proof of the Continued Fraction Identity π/4=Kn=1((n1)2/(2n1))-\pi/4 = {\rm K}_{n=1}^{\infty}\bigl((n-1)^2\,/\,{-(2n-1)}\bigr)

This paper provides a self-contained analytic proof of the continued fraction identity π/4=Kn=1((n1)2/(2n1))-\pi/4 = {\rm K}_{n=1}^{\infty}\bigl((n-1)^2\,/\,{-(2n-1)}\bigr) by transforming the classical Gauss continued fraction for arctan(z)\arctan(z) evaluated at z=1z=-1 and demonstrates its super-exponential convergence advantage over the Gregory–Leibniz series.

Hematopoiesis as a continuum: from stochastic compartmental model to hydrodynamic limit

This paper establishes a hydrodynamic limit for a multiscale stochastic compartmental model of hematopoiesis, proving that the dynamics of stem, immature, and mature cells converge to a deterministic system of partial differential equations with boundary conditions as the number of immature compartments approaches infinity.

Rigidity of Koebe Polyhedra and Inversive Distance Circle Packings

This paper establishes the global rigidity of hyperbolic inversive distance circle packings on the 2-sphere, and equivalently of Koebe polyhedra in the Beltrami-Klein model, under mild assumptions on vertex links, thereby generalizing previous rigidity results and the uniqueness part of the Koebe-Andreev-Thurston Theorem to cases where adjacent circles need not touch.
