Retrieving the Seismic Moment Release Rate of Small Seismic Events Using the Adjoint Method - Theory and Numerical Validation

This paper proposes and numerically validates the Time Reversal Source Time Inversion (TRSTI) algorithm, which leverages the time-reversal symmetry of the wave equation to efficiently and accurately retrieve the source time function of small seismic events without the computational costs or empirical limitations of existing methods.

Hamiltonian guiding-center trajectory calculations in Boozer coordinates

This paper presents a Boozer-coordinate energetic-particle trajectory tracker (BEPT) for axisymmetric tokamak equilibria that utilizes Hamiltonian guiding-center equations, Fourier-spline field interpolation, and a fourth-order Runge-Kutta integrator to achieve high accuracy in field reconstruction and conservation of kinetic energy and toroidal canonical momentum.

Physics-Anchored vs. Data-Driven Extrapolation of Superconducting-Qubit Dephasing Rates

This methodological study derives a bias-variance decomposition for physics-anchored dephasing rate extrapolation and demonstrates through multi-seed synthetic experiments that while such anchoring robustly improves predictions for high-coherence devices, its benefits for low-coherence devices are statistically indistinguishable from zero, highlighting the critical importance of multi-seed evaluation and the risks of overgeneralizing single-run results.

Dynamics of Nonlinear Waves in (2 + 1)-Dimensional Generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers Equation

This paper presents a hybrid differential quadrature method combined with the Crank–Nicolson scheme to numerically solve the (2+1)-dimensional generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers equation, demonstrating its unconditional stability, convergence, and superior accuracy compared to existing methods through validation on five benchmark problems.
