Hydrodynamic limit and Newtonian limit from the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system to the classical Euler-Poisson system

In this paper, around a global smooth irrotational solution to the classical isentropic compressible Euler-Poisson system, we construct classical solutions to the one-species relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system on any finite time interval $[0,T]$, and rigorously justify the combined hydrodynamic and Newtonian limits to the Euler-Poisson system. In particular, this yields a rigorous derivation of the compressible Euler-Poisson system, whose Poisson coupling induces an instantaneous electrostatic response and thus no longer preserves a strict finite-speed propagation structure, from a relativistic kinetic model with finite propagation speed. The analysis is based on a Hilbert expansion in $\varepsilon$ for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system, an asymptotic expansion in $\mathfrak{c}^{-1}$ for the relativistic Euler-Maxwell system, and estimates for both the expansion coefficients and the remainder terms that are uniform in $\mathfrak{c}$ and $\varepsilon$, without imposing any \emph{a priori} relation between these two parameters.

Nonlinear Landau damping for the two-species screened Vlasov-Poisson system with large initial distributions

We investigate nonlinear Landau damping for the two-species screened Vlasov-Poisson system with large initial distributions on the phase space $\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}^d$ (where $d \geq 3$). Under a structural quasi-neutrality condition, we establish the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions to the two-species system with arbitrarily large initial distributions. Furthermore, we prove the time-asymptotic stability of Penrose-stable equilibria and establish the optimal decay rate $t^{-d}$ for the net charge density, thereby verifying the nonlinear Landau damping effect for the two-species screened Vlasov-Poisson system in the whole space. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first result on Landau damping for the two-species Vlasov-Poisson system with large initial distributions that are significantly far from equilibrium.

Global well-posedness of Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann equations with neutral initial data and small relative entropy

The dynamics of dilute plasma particles such as electrons and ions can be modeled by the fundamental two species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann equations, which describes mutual interactions of plasma particles through collisions in the self-induced electric field. In this paper, we are concerned with global well-posedness of mild solutions to these equations. We establish the global existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to the two species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann equations on the torus for a class of initial data with bounded time-velocity-weighted $L^{\infty}$ norm under a nearly neutral condition, along with smallness conditions on the $L^1_xL^\infty_v$ norm and defects in mass, energy and entropy. These conditions allow the initial data to exhibit large amplitude oscillations. Due to the nonlinear effect of electric field, we consider the problem in $W^{1, \infty}_{x,v}$ with large amplitude data, new difficulty arises when establishing globally uniform $W^{1, \infty}_{x,v}$ bound, which has been overcome based on nearly neutral condition, time-velocity weight function and a logarithmic estimate. Moreover,the long-time behavior of solutions in $W^{1, \infty}_{x,v}$ norm, with exponential decay rates of convergence, is also obtained.

Query-guided Prototype Evolution Network for Few-Shot Segmentation

Previous Few-Shot Segmentation (FSS) approaches exclusively utilize support features for prototype generation, neglecting the specific requirements of the query. To address this, we present the Query-guided Prototype Evolution Network (QPENet), a new method that integrates query features into the generation process of foreground and background prototypes, thereby yielding customized prototypes attuned to specific queries. The evolution of the foreground prototype is accomplished through a \textit{support-query-support} iterative process involving two new modules: Pseudo-prototype Generation (PPG) and Dual Prototype Evolution (DPE). The PPG module employs support features to create an initial prototype for the preliminary segmentation of the query image, resulting in a pseudo-prototype reflecting the unique needs of the current query. Subsequently, the DPE module performs reverse segmentation on support images using this pseudo-prototype, leading to the generation of evolved prototypes, which can be considered as custom solutions. As for the background prototype, the evolution begins with a global background prototype that represents the generalized features of all training images. We also design a Global Background Cleansing (GBC) module to eliminate potential adverse components mirroring the characteristics of the current foreground class. Experimental results on the PASCAL-$5^i$ and COCO-$20^i$ datasets attest to the substantial enhancements achieved by QPENet over prevailing state-of-the-art techniques, underscoring the validity of our ideas.

SEAGULL: No-reference Image Quality Assessment for Regions of Interest via Vision-Language Instruction Tuning

Existing Image Quality Assessment (IQA) methods achieve remarkable success in analyzing quality for overall image, but few works explore quality analysis for Regions of Interest (ROIs). The quality analysis of ROIs can provide fine-grained guidance for image quality improvement and is crucial for scenarios focusing on region-level quality. This paper proposes a novel network, SEAGULL, which can SEe and Assess ROIs quality with GUidance from a Large vision-Language model. SEAGULL incorporates a vision-language model (VLM), masks generated by Segment Anything Model (SAM) to specify ROIs, and a meticulously designed Mask-based Feature Extractor (MFE) to extract global and local tokens for specified ROIs, enabling accurate fine-grained IQA for ROIs. Moreover, this paper constructs two ROI-based IQA datasets, SEAGULL-100w and SEAGULL-3k, for training and evaluating ROI-based IQA. SEAGULL-100w comprises about 100w synthetic distortion images with 33 million ROIs for pre-training to improve the model's ability of regional quality perception, and SEAGULL-3k contains about 3k authentic distortion ROIs to enhance the model's ability to perceive real world distortions. After pre-training on SEAGULL-100w and fine-tuning on SEAGULL-3k, SEAGULL shows remarkable performance on fine-grained ROI quality assessment.

Bayesian Optimization using Pseudo-Points

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a popular approach for expensive black-box optimization, with applications including parameter tuning, experimental design, robotics. BO usually models the objective function by a Gaussian process (GP), and iteratively samples the next data point by maximizing an acquisition function. In this paper, we propose a new general framework for BO by generating pseudo-points (i.e., data points whose objective values are not evaluated) to improve the GP model. With the classic acquisition function, i.e., upper confidence bound (UCB), we prove that the cumulative regret can be generally upper bounded. Experiments using UCB and other acquisition functions, i.e., probability of improvement (PI) and expectation of improvement (EI), on synthetic as well as real-world problems clearly show the advantage of generating pseudo-points.
