Conceptual Design of the Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment (MACE)

The spontaneous conversion of muonium to antimuonium is one of the interesting charged lepton flavor violation phenomena offering a sensitive probe of potential new physics and serving as a tool to constrain the parameter space beyond the Standard Model. The Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment (MACE) is designed to utilize a high-intensity muon beam, a Michel electron magnetic spectrometer, a positron transport system, and a positron detection system, to either discover or constrain this rare process with a conversion probability of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-13})$. This article presents an overview of the theoretical framework as well as a detailed description of the experimental design for the search for muonium-to-antimuonium conversion.

Tracking Brownian fluid particles in large eddy simulations

In this paper, we propose an approach for simulating wall-bounded incompressible turbulent flows by integrating the technology of random vortex method with the core principles of large-eddy simulations (LES). In particular, we employ the filtering function, interpreted as a spatial averaging operator, together with the integral representation theorem for parabolic equations, to construct a closed numerical scheme suitable for computing solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. This framework numerically overcomes the difficulties associated with the non-locally integrable three-dimensional kernel inherent in the random vortex method, enabling efficient computation of flow fields via the Monte Carlo method. Several numerical experiments are presented for both laminar and turbulent flows in wall-bounded domains, to thereby reveal the underlying flow mechanisms near the wall boundary. The experimental results and systematic comparisons with alternative numerical approaches consistently demonstrate that the proposed method is numerically stable, possesses low theoretical complexity, and achieves acceptable computational efficiency.

Restoring Accessibility During Urban Rail Disruptions via Bus Network Redesign

In broad terms, accessibility measures opportunities reachable (such as shops, residents, etc.) within a given time frame. Urban Rail Transit (URT) plays a crucial role in providing accessibility, but it is susceptible to disruptions. In city centers with dense public transport (PT) networks, travelers can often find alternative lines. However, in suburbs where PT is sparse, disruptions have a more significant impact on accessibility. The traditional approach consists in deploying bridge and replacement buses to mitigate URT disruptions without specific care to accessibility. Yet, the question arises: is this approach the most effective way to restore accessibility? To the best of our knowledge, our paper is the first to propose a bus re-routing method with the objective of restoring accessibility during URT disruptions. We formulate an integer program and develop a two-stage heuristic algorithm to maximize restored accessibility. The efficacy of our method is always the present assessed in Évry-Courcouronnes and Choisy-le-Roi, France. The results show that, compared to conventional replacement methods, our strategy improves accessibility in particular in the areas most affected by the disruption. Such results are observed even when no additional vehicles are deployed, and at the same time, achieving a reduction in the kilometers traveled. Despite it is well understood that accessibility is the most relevant benefit a transportation system can produce, this aspect is reflected by the traditional approaches in remediation to disruption. With this work, we show instead how to make accessibility the main guiding principle in remediation.

Signature Decomposition Method Applying to Pair Trading

High-frequency quantitative trading strategies have long been of significant interest in futures market. While advanced statistical arbitrage and deep learning enhance high-frequency data processing, they diminish opportunities for traditional methods and yield less interpretable, unstable strategies. Consequently, developing stable, interpretable quantitative strategies remains a priority in futures markets. In this study, we propose a novel pair trading strategy by leveraging the mathematical concept of path signature which serves as a feature representation of time series. Specifically, the path signature is decomposed into two new indicators: the path interactivity indicator segmented signature and the directional indicator covariation of increments, which serve as double filters in strategy design. Empirical experiments using minute-level futures data show our strategy significantly outperforms traditional pair trading, delivering higher returns, lower maximum drawdown, and higher Sharpe ratio. The proposed method enhances interpretability and robustness while maintaining strong returns, demonstrating the potential of path signatures in financial trading.

GraphMoRE: Mitigating Topological Heterogeneity via Mixture of Riemannian Experts

Real-world graphs have inherently complex and diverse topological patterns, known as topological heterogeneity. Most existing works learn graph representation in a single constant curvature space that is insufficient to match the complex geometric shapes, resulting in low-quality embeddings with high distortion. This also constitutes a critical challenge for graph foundation models, which are expected to uniformly handle a wide variety of diverse graph data. Recent studies have indicated that product manifold gains the possibility to address topological heterogeneity. However, the product manifold is still homogeneous, which is inadequate and inflexible for representing the mixed heterogeneous topology. In this paper, we propose a novel Graph Mixture of Riemannian Experts (GraphMoRE) framework to effectively tackle topological heterogeneity by personalized fine-grained topology geometry pattern preservation. Specifically, to minimize the embedding distortion, we propose a topology-aware gating mechanism to select the optimal embedding space for each node. By fusing the outputs of diverse Riemannian experts with learned gating weights, we construct personalized mixed curvature spaces for nodes, effectively embedding the graph into a heterogeneous manifold with varying curvatures at different points. Furthermore, to fairly measure pairwise distances between different embedding spaces, we present a concise and effective alignment strategy. Extensive experiments on real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate that our method achieves superior performance with lower distortion, highlighting its potential for modeling complex graphs with topological heterogeneity, and providing a novel architectural perspective for graph foundation models.

Random large eddy simulation for 3-dimensional incompressible viscous flows

We develop a numerical method for simulation of incompressible viscous flows by integrating the technology of random vortex method with the core idea of Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Specifically, we utilize the filtering method in LES, interpreted as spatial averaging, along with the integral representation theorem for parabolic equations, to achieve a closure scheme which may be used for calculating solutions of Navier-Stokes equations. This approach circumvents the challenge associated with handling the non-locally integrable 3-dimensional integral kernel in the random vortex method and facilitates the computation of numerical solutions for flow systems via Monte-Carlo method. Numerical simulations are carried out for both laminar and turbulent flows, demonstrating the validity and effectiveness of the method.

Random vortex and expansion-rate model for Oberbeck-Boussinesq fluid flows

By using a formulation of a class of compressible viscous flows with a heat source via vorticity and expansion-rate, we study the Oberbeck-Boussinesq flows. To this end we establish a new integral representation for solutions of parabolic equations subject to certain boundary condition, which allows us to develop a random vortex method for certain compressible flows and to compute numerically solutions of their dynamical models. Numerical experiments are carried out, which not only capture detailed Bénard convection but also are capable of providing additional information on the fluid density and the dynamics of expansion-rate of the flow.

Natural-language-driven Simulation Benchmark and Copilot for Efficient Production of Object Interactions in Virtual Road Scenes

We advocate the idea of the natural-language-driven(NLD) simulation to efficiently produce the object interactions between multiple objects in the virtual road scenes, for teaching and testing the autonomous driving systems that should take quick action to avoid collision with obstacles with unpredictable motions. The NLD simulation allows the brief natural-language description to control the object interactions, significantly reducing the human efforts for creating a large amount of interaction data. To facilitate the research of NLD simulation, we collect the Language-to-Interaction(L2I) benchmark dataset with 120,000 natural-language descriptions of object interactions in 6 common types of road topologies. Each description is associated with the programming code, which the graphic render can use to visually reconstruct the object interactions in the virtual scenes. As a methodology contribution, we design SimCopilot to translate the interaction descriptions to the renderable code. We use the L2I dataset to evaluate SimCopilot's abilities to control the object motions, generate complex interactions, and generalize interactions across road topologies. The L2I dataset and the evaluation results motivate the relevant research of the NLD simulation.

Federated Learning Incentive Mechanism under Buyers' Auction Market

Auction-based Federated Learning (AFL) enables open collaboration among self-interested data consumers and data owners. Existing AFL approaches are commonly under the assumption of sellers' market in that the service clients as sellers are treated as scarce resources so that the aggregation servers as buyers need to compete the bids. Yet, as the technology progresses, an increasing number of qualified clients are now capable of performing federated learning tasks, leading to shift from sellers' market to a buyers' market. In this paper, we shift the angle by adapting the procurement auction framework, aiming to explain the pricing behavior under buyers' market. Our modeling starts with basic setting under complete information, then move further to the scenario where sellers' information are not fully observable. In order to select clients with high reliability and data quality, and to prevent from external attacks, we utilize a blockchain-based reputation mechanism. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of our approach.

On the Generalization and Advancement of Half-Sine-Based Pulse Shaping Filters for Constant Envelope OQPSK Modulation

The offset quadrature phase-shift keying (OQPSK) modulation is a key factor for the technique of ZigBee, which has been adopted in IEEE 802.15.4 for wireless communications of Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), etc. In this paper, we propose the general conditions of pulse shaping filters (PSFs) with constant envelope (CE) property for OQPSK modulation, which can be easily leveraged to design the PSFs with CE property. Based on these conditions, we further design an advanced PSF called $α$-half-sine PSF. It is verified that the newly designed $α$-half-sine PSF can not only keep the CE property for OQPSK but also achieve better performance than the traditional PSFs in certain scenarios. Moreover, the $α$-half-sine PSF can be simply adjusted to achieve a flexible performance tradeoff between the transition roll-off speed and out-of-band leakage.

SA-CNN: Application to text categorization issues using simulated annealing-based convolutional neural network optimization

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a representative class of deep learning algorithms including convolutional computation that perform translation-invariant classification of input data based on their hierarchical architecture. However, classical convolutional neural network learning methods use the steepest descent algorithm for training, and the learning performance is greatly influenced by the initial weight settings of the convolutional and fully connected layers, requiring re-tuning to achieve better performance under different model structures and data. Combining the strengths of the simulated annealing algorithm in global search, we propose applying it to the hyperparameter search process in order to increase the effectiveness of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this paper, we introduce SA-CNN neural networks for text classification tasks based on Text-CNN neural networks and implement the simulated annealing algorithm for hyperparameter search. Experiments demonstrate that we can achieve greater classification accuracy than earlier models with manual tuning, and the improvement in time and space for exploration relative to human tuning is substantial.
