Over-Relaxed Projected-Forward Iterations for Cocoercive Variational Inequalities: Active-Face Spectral Tuning

This paper proposes a locally optimal parameter selection strategy for over-relaxed projected-forward iterations in cocoercive variational inequalities, demonstrating that after identifying active constraints, spectral tuning of the relaxation parameter (and potentially the forward step) significantly accelerates convergence compared to standard global settings.

Analysis of a mixed fractional--classical reaction--diffusion epidemic model with nonlocal asymptomatic transmission

This paper establishes the global well-posedness, uniform boundedness, and disease-free convergence conditions for a mixed fractional-classical reaction-diffusion epidemic model featuring nonlocal asymptomatic transmission and periodic intermittent treatment, while validating these theoretical findings through numerical simulations of the system's complex spatiotemporal dynamics.

Fair Six-Point Subdivision on Euclidean and Riemannian Surfaces

This paper establishes that the interpolatory six-point Deslauriers--Dubuc subdivision scheme minimizes a discrete curvature-variation energy to achieve superior fairness, extends this variational framework to Riemannian surfaces via geodesic-midpoint lifts with explicit implementations on the sphere and hyperbolic plane, and demonstrates through benchmarks that the six-point scheme offers an optimal balance of fairness, locality, and robustness compared to its four- and eight-point counterparts.

Gegenbauer Polynomial Convolution for Bi-Univalent Functions with Applications to Image Enhancement

This paper introduces a new subclass of bi-univalent functions defined via Gegenbauer polynomial convolution to derive coefficient bounds and Fekete-Szegö inequalities, which are then utilized to develop a GCEA algorithm that effectively enhances digital images by improving edge detection, preserving structural features, and increasing contrast.

A Characterization of Poset-Based Connected Manifolds and Discrete Surfaces via Cubically Normal Pseudomanifolds

This paper establishes a fundamental correspondence between the global combinatorial structure of finite regular cubical complexes and poset-based connected manifolds by proving that a complex's face poset is an n-PCM if and only if the complex itself is a cubically normal pseudomanifold, thereby providing a recognition algorithm for embedded voxel complexes.

Mathematical Modeling of Mpox with Animal Reservoir Coupling: Stability, Sensitivity, and Calibration to the 2022 US Outbreak

This paper presents a coupled SVEIQR-SEI mathematical model of Mpox transmission between animal reservoirs and humans, which demonstrates that the disease can be eliminated when the basic reproduction number is below one and, upon calibration to the 2022 US outbreak, reveals that targeted quarantine and behavioral interventions were the primary drivers of containment while highlighting the shifting influence of reservoir dynamics across different epidemic phases.

Adaptive Shrinkage Calibration of Fractional Order and Volatility in the Time-Fractional Black–Scholes Model: Evaluation under Symmetric and Asymmetric Losses

This paper proposes and numerically validates a framework for the adaptive shrinkage calibration of fractional order and volatility within a time-fractional Black–Scholes model, demonstrating through Monte Carlo simulations and empirical S&P 500 data that raw estimates often converge to classical boundaries and exhibit strong local dependence, thereby necessitating stabilization strategies that balance parameter risk with out-of-sample option pricing performance under various loss functions.
