From multi-layered problems to multiple two-layered problems: a novel frequency-time hybrid multiple-scattering integral equation solver

This paper proposes a novel frequency-time hybrid multiple scattering (FTH-MS) integral equation solver for time-dependent wave equation problems in general multi-layered media, with remarkable scalability with respect to the number of layers $N$. In light of the finite speed of wave propagation, the new methodology provides an innovative multiple-scattering idea of re-modeling the original $N$-layered problem into a sequence of $N-1$ two-layered sub-problems, for which the main advantages lie in that (i) each sub-problem enjoys much simpler wave scattering properties compared with the complicated problem in a multi-layered medium, (ii) it enables to develop high-accuracy solver utilizing Fourier transform and frequency-domain boundary integral equation (BIE) method; and (iii) numerical evaluation of the sub-problems in each multiple scattering step can be parallelized. Both multiplicative- and additive-type strategies are developed and equivalence results, which indicate that the $M$-th order multiple scattering sums can provide equivalent representations of the solutions up to a certain time $T(M)$, are rigorously derived. Owing to the existed result of exponential convergence of the perfectly-matched-layer (PML) truncation for two-layered problem, all the sub-problems is numerically resolved by means of the FTH method based on the Fourier transform and the PML-BIE method whose numerical evaluation is addressed utilizing the Chebyshev-based rectangular-polar solver with high accuracy. Numerical examples are presented to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

SkillMAS: Skill Co-Evolution with LLM-based Multi-Agent System

Large language model (LLM) agent systems are increasingly expected to improve after deployment, but existing work often decouples two adaptation targets: skill evolution and multi-agent system (MAS) restructuring. This separation can create organization bottlenecks, context pressure, and mis-specialization. We present SkillMAS, a non-parametric framework for adaptive specialization in multi-agent systems that couples skill evolution with MAS restructuring. SkillMAS uses Utility Learning to assign credit from verified execution traces, bounded skill evolution to refine reusable procedures without unfiltered library growth, and evidence-gated MAS restructuring when retained failures and Executor Utility indicate a structural mismatch. Across embodied manipulation, command-line execution, and retail workflows, SkillMAS is competitive under the reported harnesses while clarifying how post-deployment specialization is attributed, updated, and applied.

Synergy: A Next-Generation General-Purpose Agent for Open Agentic Web

AI agents are rapidly expanding in both capability and population: they now write code, operate computers across platforms, manage cloud infrastructure, and make purchasing decisions, while open-source frameworks such as OpenClaw are putting personal agents in the hands of millions and embodied agents are spreading across smartphones, vehicles, and robots. As the internet prepares to host billions of such entities, it is shifting toward what we call Open Agentic Web, a decentralized digital ecosystem in which agents from different users, organizations, and runtimes can discover one another, negotiate task boundaries, and delegate work across open technical and social surfaces at scale. Yet most of today's agents remain isolated tools or closed-ecosystem orchestrators rather than socially integrated participants in open networks. We argue that the next generation of agents must become Agentic Citizens, defined by three requirements: Agentic-Web-Native Collaboration, participation in open collaboration networks rather than only closed internal orchestration; Agent Identity and Personhood, continuity as a social entity rather than a resettable function call; and Lifelong Evolution, improvement across task performance, communication, and collaboration over time. We present Synergy, a general-purpose agent architecture and runtime harness for persistent, collaborative, and evolving agents on Open Agentic Web, grounding collaboration in session-native orchestration, repository-backed workspaces, and social communication; identity in typed memory, notes, agenda, skills, and persistent social relationships; and evolution in an experience-centered learning mechanism that proactively recalls rewarded trajectories at inference time.

Multi-patch/multiple-scattering frequency-time hybrid solver for interior and exterior wave equation problems

This paper proposes a new multiple-scattering frequency-time hybrid (FTH-MS) integral equation solver for problems of wave scattering by obstacles in two dimensional space, including interior problems in closed cavities and problems exterior to a set of disconnected open or closed scattering obstacles. The multiple-scattering FTH-MS method is based on a partition of the domain boundary into a user-prescribed set of overlapping open arcs, along with a corresponding sequence of multiple-scattering problems that effectively decompose the interior problem into a series of open-arc wave equation subproblems. The new strategy provides a significant extension of the original FTH-MS algorithm originally presented in [22], in that (1) By allowing for use of an arbitrary of number of component arcs, and not just two as in the previous contribution, the new approach affords (1a) A significantly increased geometric flexibility, as well as, (1b) The use of partitions for which each open arc leads to small numbers of iterations if iterative linear-algebra solvers are employed; and, (2) It facilitates parallelization -- as the subproblem solutions that are needed at each multiple scattering step can be evaluated in an embarrassingly parallel fashion. Utilizing a suitably-implemented Fourier transformation, each sub-problem is reduced to a Helmholtz frequency-domain problem that is tackled via a uniquely-solvable boundary integral equation. Similar FTH-MS methods are also presented for problems exterior to a number of bounded obstacles. All of the algorithms considered incorporate the previously introduced ``time-windowing and recentering'' methodology (that enables both treatment of incident signals of long duration and long time simulation), as well as a high-frequency Fourier transform algorithm that delivers numerically dispersionless, spectrally-accurate time evolution for arbitrarily long times.

E2E-AFG: An End-to-End Model with Adaptive Filtering for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Retrieval-augmented generation methods often neglect the quality of content retrieved from external knowledge bases, resulting in irrelevant information or potential misinformation that negatively affects the generation results of large language models. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end model with adaptive filtering for retrieval-augmented generation (E2E-AFG), which integrates answer existence judgment and text generation into a single end-to-end framework. This enables the model to focus more effectively on relevant content while reducing the influence of irrelevant information and generating accurate answers. We evaluate E2E-AFG on six representative knowledge-intensive language datasets, and the results show that it consistently outperforms baseline models across all tasks, demonstrating the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.
