Positive generalized convolution quadrature for variable-order advection-diffusion: discontinuous Galerkin approximation and compression bounds

This paper presents a positive, stable, and first-order convergent discontinuous Galerkin method for variable-order advection-diffusion equations that utilizes backward-Euler generalized convolution quadrature with composite Gaussian compression to efficiently handle time-dependent fractional orders on arbitrary grids.

Governance-Aware Reservoir Dynamics under Neural Management: Well-Posedness, Global Stability and a Synthetic Drought Benchmark

This paper presents a governance-aware nonlinear reservoir model that establishes rigorous stability conditions for neural network policies, demonstrating through a synthetic drought benchmark that while certified networks trained only on nominal data fail under distribution shifts, a hybrid policy combining networks trained on diverse conditions achieves superior robustness and performance across varying drought scenarios.

Quadrature Formulas Applicable to the Solution of Integral Equations on a Semi-Infinite Interval by the Mechanical Quadrature Method

This paper presents a unified set of Gaussian-type quadrature formulas with common nodes and weights for integrals over semi-infinite intervals involving power-law weights and various kernels, which are validated through the successful numerical solution of a singular integral equation arising from a two-dimensional elasticity problem.

The Intersection Euler Characteristic Profile: Euler Calculus and Stability for Topological Interaction of Ball Unions

This paper introduces the Intersection Euler Characteristic Profile, a stable and canonical invariant for analyzing the topological interaction of multiple colored point clouds via Euler calculus, which can be computed efficiently using Alpha-complex sweeps and refined via relative homology to consistently recover the underlying shape properties.

The Trust-Building Game: Dynamic Signaling, Markov Equilibrium, and Threshold Cooperation

This paper develops a discounted dynamic Trust-Building Game to characterize a pure stationary Markov equilibrium, demonstrating that the trust builder's optimal signaling policy follows a unique activation-band structure over intermediate public states rather than a simple monotone threshold, while providing exact analytical bounds and numerical validations for cooperation dynamics.
