Wave-based imaging techniques use wavefield data from receivers on the boundary of a domain to produce an image of the underlying structure in the domain of interest. These images are defined by the imaging condition, which maps recorded data to their reflection points in the domain. In this paper, we introduce a nonli...

The convergence of deterministic policy gradient under the Hadamard parameterization is studied in the tabular setting and the linear convergence of the algorithm is established. To this end, we first show that the error decreases at an $O(\frac{1}{k})$ rate for all the iterations. Based on this result, we further show...

Human-centric video frame interpolation has great potential for improving people's entertainment experiences and finding commercial applications in the sports analysis industry, e.g., synthesizing slow-motion videos. Although there are multiple benchmark datasets available in the community, none of them is dedicated fo...

We report a non-detection of the [OI] 63-um emission line from the z = 6.03 galaxy G09.83808 using ALMA Band 9 observations, refuting the previously claimed detection with APEX by (Rybak et al. 2020); the new upper limit on the [OI] 63-um flux is almost 20-times lower. [OI] 63-um line could be a powerful tracer of neut...

User churn, characterized by customers ending their relationship with a business, has profound economic consequences across various Business-to-Customer scenarios. For numerous system-to-user actions, such as promotional discounts and retention campaigns, predicting potential churners stands as a primary objective. In ...

We derive exact solutions of massless free field equations and tree-level two-point amplitudes up to spin 2 on self-dual Taub-NUT space-time, as well as on its single copy, the self-dual dyon. We use Killing spinors to build analogues of momentum eigenstates, finding that, in the spirit of color-kinematics duality, tho...

The parabolic Airy line ensemble $\mathfrak A$ is a central limit object in the KPZ universality class and related areas. On any compact set $K = \{1, \dots, k\} \times [a, a + t]$, the law of the recentered ensemble $\mathfrak A - \mathfrak A(a)$ has a density $X_K$ with respect to the law of $k$ independent Brownian ...

This is a continuation of our previous work entitled \enquote{Alternating Proximity Mapping Method for Convex-Concave Saddle-Point Problems}, in which we proposed the alternating proximal mapping method and showed convergence results on the sequence of our iterates, the sequence of averages of our iterates, and the seq...

We consider a scenario where the scalaron of $f({\cal R})$ models is related to the volume modulus of string compactifications leaving only one scalar degree of freedom at low energy. The coefficient of the leading curvature squared contribution to the low energy effective action of gravity determines the mass of the s...
