Admissible Reconstruction of Reaction-Channel Levels on Fixed Subgroup Support for Cross-Section-Space Probability Table Constructions

In cross-section-space probability table constructions, reaction-channel levels are reconstructed on fixed total-subgroup nodes and probabilities. Although the standard full-matching reconstruction is uniquely determined, it does not in general preserve componentwise nonnegativity of the channel levels. We impose nonnegativity both for physical interpretability and because, on fixed positive total-subgroup nodes and probabilities, it provides a sufficient structural condition for nonnegativity of the folded effective cross section over all dilutions. We therefore formulate an admissible constrained reconstruction problem on the fixed subgroup support, in which selected low-order channel information is retained exactly and the remaining matching conditions are fitted in a weighted least-squares sense. After null-space reduction, the problem becomes a convex optimization problem with linear inequality constraints. For the single-retention formulation, nonnegative feasibility is automatic when the retained $0$-order aggregate is nonnegative, whereas for a two-retention variant it additionally requires a compatibility condition with the fixed total-subgroup nodes. Numerical results for a representative U-238 capture benchmark show that nonnegativity violations are confined to a small subset of energy groups. On these groups, the admissible reconstruction restores nonnegativity, but at the cost of some response-level deterioration relative to full matching. In the comparison, the single-retention formulation shows the more stable overall behavior.

Robust Subgroup Method Using DE Algorithm for Resonance Self-Shielding Calculation

This paper presents an enhanced version of the subgroup method for resonance self-shielding treatment, termed the robust subgroup method, which integrates Robust Estimation (RE) with a Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. The RE approach is employed to handle model misspecification and data contamination, while the DE algorithm serves as an optimization tool within the RE framework to obtain constrained solutions. Numerical validation against experimental benchmarks shows that the proposed method removes a systematic absorption bias in conventional subgroup fits that would otherwise depress reactivity. This bias appears only in benchmarks sensitive to U-238. Mechanistically, it reflects a threshold-like conditioning failure: strong self-shielding leverage dominates the loss and is magnified by dilution-induced multicollinearity. This adverse conditioning appears to be seeded by a narrow, sparse resonance structure at low energies in fertile even-even nuclides, thereby causing rapid self-shielding response saturation and a weak Doppler broadening. By bounding influence and enforcing feasibility within an RE-DE framework, the inferred subgroup parameters track the underlying physics more faithfully, improving the predictive fidelity of subsequent transport simulations.

The Painlevé-type asymptotics of defocusing complex mKdV equation with finite density initial data

We consider the Cauchy problem for the defocusing complex mKdV equation with finite density initial data \begin{align*} &q_t+\frac{1}{2}q_{xxx}-3|q|^2q_{x}=0,\\ &q(x,0)=q_{0}(x) \sim \pm 1, \ x\to \pm\infty, \end{align*} which can be formulated into a Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem. With $\bar\partial$-generation of the nonlinear steepest descent approach and a double scaling limit technique, in the transition region $$\mathcal{D}:=\left\{(x,t)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^+\big|-C< \left(x/(2t)+3/2\right) t^{2/3}<0, C\in\mathbb{R}^+\right\},$$ we find that the long-time asymptotics of the solution $q(x,t)$ to the Cauchy problem is associated with the Painlevé-II transcendents.

The long-time asymptotic of the derivative nonlinear Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equation with step-like initial value

Consideration in this present paper is the long-time asymptotic of solutions to the derivative nonlinear Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equation with the step-like initial value \begin{eqnarray} q(x,0)=q_{0}(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{split} A_{1}e^{iϕ}e^{2iBx}, \quad\quad x<0,\\ A_{2}e^{-2iBx}, \quad\quad~~ x>0. \end{split}\nonumber \end{cases} \end{eqnarray} by Deift-Zhou method. The step-like initial problem described by a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem. A crucial ingredient used in this paper is to introduce $g$-function mechanism for solving the problem of the entries of the jump matrix growing exponentially as $t\rightarrow\infty$. It is shown that the leading order term of the asymptotic solution of the DNLS equation expressed by the Theta function $Θ$ about the Riemann-surface of genus 3 and the subleading order term expressed by parabolic cylinder and Airy functions.

The Sasa-Satsuma equation with non-vanishing boundary conditions

We concentrate on inverse scattering transformation for the Sasa-Satsuma equation with $3\times 3$ matrix spectral and nonzero boundary condition in this article. To circumvent multi valuedness of eigenvalues, we introduce a suitable two-sheet Riemann surface to map the original spectral parameter $k$ into a single-valued parameter $z$. The analyticity of the Jost eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients of Lax pair for the SS equation are analyzed in details. According to the analyticity of eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients, the $z$-complex plane is divided into four analytic regions $D_j, \ j=1, 2, 3, 4$. Since the second column of Jost eigenfunctions is analytic in $D_{j}, \ j=1, 2, 3, 4$, but in upper-half or lower-half plane, we introduce certain auxiliary eigenfunctions which are necessary for deriving the analytic eigenfunctions in $D_{j}$. We find that for the eigenfunctions, scattering coefficients and the auxiliary eigenfunctions all possess three kinds of symmetries, which characterize the distribution of discrete spectrum. The asymptotic behaviors of eigenfunctions, auxiliary eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients are also systematically derived. Then a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem with four kind jump conditions associated with the problem of nonzero asymptotic boundary conditions is established, from which $N$-soliton solutions is obtained via the corresponding reconstruction formulae. The reflectionless soliton solutions are explicitly given. As application of the $N$-soliton formula, we present three kinds of single-soliton solutions according to the distribution of discrete spectrum.

The Riemann-Hilbert approach to focusing Kundu-Eckhaus equation with nonzero boundary conditions

In this article, we focus on investigating the focusing Kundu-Eckhaus equation with nonzero boundary condition. A appropriate two-sheeted Riemann surface is introduced to map the spectral parameter $k$ into a single-valued parameter $z$. Starting from the Lax pair of Kundu-Eckhaus equation,two kind of Jost solutions are construed. Further their asymptotic, analyticity, symmetries as well as spectral matrix are detailed analyzed. It is shown that the solution of Kundu-Eckhaus equation with nonzero boundary condition can characterized with a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem. Then a formula of $N$-soliton solutions is derived by solving Riemann-Hilbert problem. As applications, the first-order explicit soliton solution is obtained.
