Clustering in co-evolving opinion dynamics: reduced SPDE models

Sebastian Zimper, Natasa Djurdjevac Conrad, Federico Cornalba, Ana Djurdjevac · 2026

Clustering is a fundamental collective phenomenon in agent-based models (ABMs) of opinion dynamics. To study clustering in systems with co-evolving social and opinion variables, we derive stochastic p…

Relation between the Nusselt and Bejan numbers in natural convection

Takuya Masuda, Toshio Tagawa · 2026

This study derives a scaling law connecting the Nusselt (Nu) and Bejan (Be) numbers in natural convection. Combining entropy generation analysis with boundary-layer scaling, the relation Be^-1 - 1 = a…

Dean-Kawasaki fluctuating hydrodynamics for backscattering hard rods

Mrinal Jyoti Powdel · 2026

We study a system of backscattering hard rods in one dimension. Contrary to the usual ballistic hard rods, these hard rods flip the sign of their velocities with a rate $\gamma$. This leads to the dec…

Beyond Explicit Refusals: Soft-Failure Attacks on Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Wentao Zhang, Yan Zhuang, ZhuHang Zheng, Mingfei Zhang, Jiawen Deng, Fuji Ren · 2026

Existing jamming attacks on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems typically induce explicit refusals or denial-of-service behaviors, which are conspicuous and easy to detect. In this work, we f…

Universal Relation between Nusselt Number and Bejan Number in Natural Convection

Takuya Masuda, Toshio Tagawa · 2026

We propose a universal scaling law linking the Nusselt number (Nu) and the Bejan number (Be) in natural convection. Using entropy generation analysis and boundary-layer scaling, we demonstrate that Be…

A path model for MV polytopes in type A_n

Zijun Li · 2026

We introduce a one-skeleton path model for Mirkovic-Vilonen polytopes in type A_n. We prove that the Minkowski sum of (MV) polytopes corresponds to the concatenation of one-skeleton paths of this mode…

On Rational Inattention with Arbitrary Choice Sets

Chris Engh · 2026

This paper points out that rational inattention is a nested regularized optimal transport problem. We use entropic optimal transport to establish the main results in Matejka and McKay (2015) and Capli…

Constructal Evolution as a Nonsmooth Dynamical System: Stability and Selection of Flow Architectures

Pascal Stiefenhofer · 2026

Constructal Law states that a finite-size flow system that persists in time evolves its configuration so as to provide progressively easier access to the currents that flow through it. Classical Const…

Quantitative Error Estimates for Learning Macroscopic Mobilities from Microscopic Fluctuations

Nicolas Dirr, Zhengyan Wu, Johannes Zimmer · 2026

We develop quantitative error estimates connecting microscopic fluctuation of interacting particle systems with the mobilities of their hydrodynamic limits. Focusing on the Symmetric Simple Exclusion …

Fluid flow in low aspect-ratio curved channels: from small to moderate Dean numbers

Ezzahrae Jaafari, Pascale Magaud, Micheline Abbas · 2026

We investigated the pressure-driven flow in curved channels at low aspect ratio, the latter being the ratio between the channel height (along the axial direction) and width (along the radial direction…

Stochastic Knapsack: Semi-Adaptivity Gaps and Improved Approximation

Zohar Barak, Inbal Talgam-Cohen · 2026

In stochastic combinatorial optimization, algorithms differ in their adaptivity: whether or not they query realized randomness and adapt to it. Dean et al. (FOCS '04) formalize the adaptivity gap, whi…

Dean's conjecture and cycles modulo k

Yufan Luo, Jie Ma, Ziyuan Zhao · 2026

Dean conjectured three decades ago that every graph with minimum degree at least $k\ge 3$ contains a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$. While the conjecture has been verified for $k\in \{3,4\}$, …

Surface Dean--Kawasaki equations

John Bell, Ana Djurdjevac, Nicolas Perkowski · 2026

We consider stochastic particle dynamics on hypersurfaces represented in Monge gauge parametrization. Starting from the underlying Langevin system, we derive the surface Dean-Kawasaki (DK) equation an…

On Circular Threshold Words and Other Stronger Versions of Dejean's conjecture

Igor N. Tunev · 2025

Let the root of the word $w$ be the smallest prefix $v$ of $w$ such that $w$ is a prefix of $vvv...$. $per(w)$ is the length of the root of $w$. For any $n\ge5$, an $n$-ary threshold word is a word $w…

Transition in elastic Dean flow: the centre-mode versus hoop-stress pathways

P. S. D. Surya Phani Tej, Ganesh Subramanian, V. Shankar · 2025

We analyse the stability of viscoelastic Dean flow (flow of an elastic fluid through a curved two-dimensional channel, driven by an azimuthal pressure gradient) in the absence of fluid inertia. This c…
