A Regularized Hessian-Free Inexact Newton-Type Method with Global $\mathcal{O}(k^{-2})$ Convergence

Leandro Farias Maia, Antonio Victor B. Nascimento, Paulo Sergio M. Santos, Gilson N. Silva ยท 2026

We propose a regularized Hessian-free Newton-type method for minimizing smooth convex functions with Lipschitz continuous Hessians. The algorithm constructs an approximate Hessian by finite differenceโ€ฆ

MacNeille completions of parabolic quotients

Yibo Gao, Hanlin Xu ยท 2026

Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) arise as the Dedekind-MacNeille completion of the Bruhat order on the symmetric group. They enjoy fruitful combinatorial and geometric properties, with a particularly โ€ฆ

Scaffolds for Higher Tropical Grassmannians: Foundations

Nick Early, Thomas Lam ยท 2026

Scaffolds are the one-dimensional skeleta of high-dimensional flag simplicial complexes of nonpositive curvature. They generalize the phylogenetic trees of Trop G(2,n) to arbitrary $k$, drawing togethโ€ฆ

Separation profiles of free products

David Hume ยท 2026

We deduce from a theorem of Dvorak--Norin that the separation and treewidth profiles of graphs are asymptotically equivalent, resolving a question of Huang--Hume--Kelly--Lam. As an application, we calโ€ฆ

Continuum-marginal optimal transport: a mesh-free kernel method

Yumiharu Nakano ยท 2026

In this paper we study continuum-marginal optimal transport. Given a time-continuous family of probability marginals, the problem is to recover the minimum-energy velocity field whose flow reproduces โ€ฆ

Semi-Discrete Approximation of Aubry and Mather sets

Fabio Camilli, Cristian Mendico ยท 2026

We study the semi-discrete approximation of Aubry and Mather sets for Tonelli Lagrangians on the flat torus. Starting from the discrete Lax--Oleinik equation, we introduce natural discrete analogues oโ€ฆ

Quasi-Quadratic Gradient: A New Direction for Accelerating the BFGS Method in Quasi-Newton Optimization

John Chiang ยท 2026

In this paper, we introduce the Quasi-Quadratic Gradient (QQG), a novel search direction designed to accelerate the BFGS method within the quasi-Newton framework. By defining the QQG as the product ofโ€ฆ

Core abaci and Diophantine equations I: fundamental weight

Yanbo Li, Jiansheng Zhang, Shasha Zhu ยท 2026

In the light of a series of papers on moving vectors, we define and study core abaci of classical affine types for arbitrary charge. This greatly extends the concept of cores with charge zero, and makโ€ฆ

Algebraic methods in periodic singular Liouville equations

Chin-Lung Wang ยท 2026

We explain how algebraic geometry comes into play in the study of non-linear mean field (singular Liouville) equations $$ \triangle u + e^u = 4\pi \sum_{i = 1}^N \ell_i \delta_{p_i} $$ on a flat torusโ€ฆ

A theory of generalized Lam\'e curves

You-Cheng Chou, Chin-Lung Wang, Po-Sheng Wu ยท 2026

We study the generalized Lam\'e equation on an elliptic curve $E$ with multiple singularities. By restricting to the locus admitting solutions with quasi-periodic properties, we construct two curves: โ€ฆ
