The eT program is an open-source electronic structure program with emphasis on performance and modularity. As its name suggests, the program features extensive coupled cluster capabilities, performing well compared to other electronic structure programs, and, in some cases, outperforming commercial alternatives. However, eT is more than a coupled cluster pro
Distributed Stochastic Momentum Tracking with Local Updates: Achieving Optimal Communication and Iteration Complexities
math.OCKun Huang, Shi Pu
We propose Local Momentum Tracking (LMT), a novel distributed stochastic gradient method for solving distributed optimization problems over networks. To reduce communication overhead, LMT enables each agent to perform multiple local updates between consecutive communication rounds. Specifically, LMT integrates local updates with the momentum tracking strateg
Transient waves in linear dispersive media with dissipation: an approach based on the steepest descent path
math.GMFrancesco Mainardi, Andrea Mentrelli, Juan Luis Gonza'les Santander
In the study of linear dispersive media it is of primary interest to gain knowledge of the impulse response of the material. The standard approach to compute the response involves a Laplace transform inversion, i.e., the solution of a Bromwich integral, which can be a notoriously troublesome problem. In this paper we propose a novel approach to the calculati

Machine Learning for the Production of Official Statistics: Density Ratio Estimation using Biased Transaction Data for Japanese labor statistics
stat.APYuya Takada, Kiyoshi Izumi
National statistical institutes are beginning to use non-traditional data sources to produce official statistics. These sources, originally collected for non-statistical purposes, include point-of-sales(POS) data and mobile phone global positioning system(GPS) data. Such data have the potential to significantly enhance the usefulness of official statistics.

This technical report presents our solution for the RoboSense Challenge at IROS 2025, which evaluates Vision-Language Models (VLMs) on autonomous driving scene understanding across perception, prediction, planning, and corruption detection tasks. We propose a systematic framework built on four core components. First, a Mixture-of-Prompts router classifies qu
BMGQ: A Bottom-up Method for Generating Complex Multi-hop Reasoning Questions from Semi-structured Data
cs.AIBingsen Qiu, Zijian Liu, Xiao Liu, Bingjie Wang
Building training-ready multi-hop question answering (QA) datasets that truly stress a model's retrieval and reasoning abilities remains highly challenging recently. While there have been a few recent evaluation datasets that capture the characteristics of hard-to-search but easy-to-verify problems -- requiring the integration of ambiguous, indirect, and cro

A detailed study of poly-[Ni(Salen)] polymer in its oxidized (Ox) and reduced (Red) states was conducted using X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and ultraviolet photoemission (UV PES) spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. XPS analysis revealed significant energy shifts (-1.5 to -1.8 eV) and
Finite-Rank Optimizers for the mass--supercritical Lieb--Thirring and Hardy--Lieb--Thirring Inequalities
math-phGiao Ky Duong, Thi Minh Thao Le, Phan Thành Nam, Phuoc-Tai Nguyen
We establish the existence of finite-rank operators for an interpolation version of the Lieb--Thirring inequality in the mass--supercritical case, thereby extending a result of Hong, Kwon, and Yoon in 2019 to the full parameter regime. Our method also applies to the Hardy--Lieb--Thirring inequality, where the existence of optimizers faces additional difficul
Interplay between Cu diffusion and bonding anisotropy on the thermoelectric performance of double cation chalcohalides $CuBiSeX_{2} (X = Cl, Br)$
cond-mat.mtrl-sciManivannan Saminathan, Prakash Govindaraj, Hern Kim, Kowsalya Murugan
Double cation chalcohalide have recently been emerged as the interesting candidates for sustainable energy conversion applications, owing to their intrinsic chemical tunability, suitable band gap, and low thermal conductivity. With this motivation, the current study is designed to explore the structural, electron and phonon transport mechanism, and thermoele
Assessment of modern shock capturing schemes for all-speed flows in the OpenFOAM framework
physics.flu-dynAnurag Adityanarayan Ray, Sreejita Bhaduri, Swetarka Das, Ashoke De
OpenFOAM is a widely used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) framework based on the finite volume method for solving a wide range of flow problems. However, its default numerical schemes, particularly the Kurganov-Noelle-Petrova (KNP) method used for shock capturing, are only low-order accurate. This work presents the implementation of modern high-order Riem
