Continuous data assimilation (CDA) nudges observational data into governing equations to recover the underlying flow and improve predictions. Existing rigorous CDA analyses focus primarily on incompressible flows, yet no physical flow is perfectly incompressible. Approximating a slightly compressible flow with an incompressible model introduces non-negligible model errors. Data assimilation for compressible flows remains challenging due to strong nonlinearities and the presence of shocks. We design an algorithm that addresses the limitations of velocity-only nudging for slightly compressible flow. This work incorporates both velocity and pressure data from the slightly compressible flow and nudges both quantities into the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. Our analysis shows that the model error decays exponentially in the initial error, with an asymptotic residual of order $\mathcal{O}(H)$, where H denotes the observation resolution. The analysis also identifies a scaling for the pressure nudging parameter $μ_1 = O(1/H^2)$ that ensures effective assimilation. We validate the theoretical results through a suite of numerical experiments: a convergence study confirming optimal
In this paper, we consider the existence of positive solutions to the following slightly supercritical Choquard equation \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -Δu=\displaystyle\Big(\int\limits_Ω\frac{u^{2^*_α+\varepsilon}(y)}{|x-y|^α}dy\Big)u^{2^*_α-1+\varepsilon},\quad u>0\ \ &\mbox{in}\ Ω, \quad \ \ u=0 \ \ &\mbox{on}\ \partial Ω, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $N\geq 3$, $Ω$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $α\in (0,N)$, $2^*_α:=\frac{2N-α}{N-2}$ is the upper critical exponent in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality and $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter. In contrast with the slightly subcritical Choquard equation studied by Chen and Wang (Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 63:235, 2024), we find that there is no chance to construct a family of single-bubble solutions as $\varepsilon\to 0^{+}$.
Many AI detection models have been developed to counter the presence of articles created by artificial intelligence (AI). However, if a human-authored article is slightly polished by AI, a shift will occur in the borderline decision of these AI detection models, leading them to consider it as AI-generated article. This misclassification may result in falsely accusing authors of AI plagiarism and harm the credibility of AI detectors. In English, some efforts were made to meet this challenge, but not in Arabic. In this paper, we generated two datasets. The first dataset contains 800 Arabic articles, half AI-generated and half human-authored. We used it to evaluate 14 Large Language models (LLMs) and commercial AI detectors to assess their ability in distinguishing between human-authored and AI-generated articles. The best 8 models were chosen to act as detectors for our primary concern, which is whether they would consider slightly polished human-authored text as AI-generated. The second dataset, Ar-APT, contains 400 Arabic human-authored articles polished by 10 LLMs using 4 polishing settings, totaling 16400 samples. We use it to evaluate the 8 nominated models and determine whether
We obtain a uniform $L^{\infty}(Ω)$ a priori bound, for any positive weak solutions to elliptic problem with a nonlinearity $f$ slightly subcritical, slightly superlinear, and regularly varying. To achieve our result, we first obtain a uniform estimate of an specific $L^1(Ω)$ weighted norm. This, combined with moving planes method and elliptic regularity theory, provides a uniform $L^\infty$ bound in a neighborhood of the boundary of $Ω$. Next, by using Pohozaev's identity, we obtain a uniform estimate of one weighted norm of the solutions. Joining now elliptic regularity theory, and Morrey's Theorem, we estimate from below the radius of a ball where a solution exceeds the half of its $L^\infty(Ω)$-norm. Finally, going back to the previous uniform weighted norm estimate, we conclude our result.
Let $\M$ be a matroid, and let $I_{\M}$ be either the Stanley--Reisner or the cover ideal of $\M$. In this paper we prove that for any matroid $\M$ on $[n]$, any $\ell\in \ZZ_+$, and any squarefree monomial $N\in R=\kk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, the ideal $I_{\M}^{(\ell)}:N$, which we call a ``slightly mixed symbolic power" of $I_{\M}$, is always Cohen--Macaulay and locally glicci. As a corollary, we obtain that all symbolic powers $I_{\M}^{(\ell)}$ are locally glicci.
We subject GPT-4 to a number of rigorous psychometric tests and analyze the results. We find that, compared to the average human, GPT-4 tends to show more honesty and humility, and less machiavellianism and narcissism. It sometimes exhibits ambivalent sexism, leans slightly toward masculinity, is moderately anxious but mostly not depressive (but not always). It shows human-average numerical literacy and has cognitive reflection abilities that are above human average for verbal tasks.
We study a superlinear elliptic boundary value problem involving the $p$-laplacian operator, with changing sign weights. The problem has positive solutions bifurcating from the trivial solution set at the two principal eigenvalues of the corresponding linear weighted boundary value problem. The two principal eigenvalues are bifurcation points from the trivial solution set to positive solutions. Drabek's bifurcation result applies when the nonlinearity is of power growth. We extend Drabek's bifurcation result to {\it slightly subcritical} nonlinearities. Compactness in this setting is a delicate issue obtained via Orlicz spaces.
In the present paper, we study the existence, uniqueness and behaviour in time of the solutions to the Darcy-Bénard problem for an extended-quasi-thermal-incompressible fluid-saturated porous medium uniformly heated from below. Unlike the classical problem, where the compressibility factor of the fluid vanishes, in this paper we allow the fluid to be slightly compressible and we address the well-posedness analysis for the full nonlinear initial boundary value problem for the perturbed system of governing equations modelling the convection in porous media phenomenon.
This paper is devoted to study a fractional Choquard problem with slightly subcritical exponents on bounded domains. When the exponent of the convolution type nonlinearity tends to the fractional critical one in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, we obtain the existence of multiple positive solutions via Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and nonlocal global compactness. Moreover, we prove that the topology of the domain furnishes a lower bound for the number of positive solutions.
In this paper, we first show for a slightly degenerate pre-modular fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ that squares of dimensions of simple objects divide half of the dimension of $\mathcal{C}$, and that slightly degenerate fusion categories of FP-dimensions $2p^nd$ and $4p^nd$ are nilpotent, where $p$ is an odd prime and $d$ is an odd square-free integer. Then we classify slightly degenerate generalized Tambara-Yamagami fusion categories and weakly integral slightly degenerate fusion categories of particular dimensions.
We study the slightly broken higher-spin currents in various CFTs with $\mathrm{U}(1)$ gauge field, including the tricritical QED, scalar QED, fermionic QED and QED-Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory. We calculate their anomalous dimension by making use of the classical non-conservation equation and the equations of motion. We find a logarithmic asymptotic behaviour ($γ_s\sim 16/(Nπ^2) \log s $) of the anomalous dimension at large spin $s$, which is different from other interacting CFTs without gauge fields and may indicate certain unique features of gauge theories. We also study slightly broken higher-spin currents of the $\mathrm{SU}(N)_1$ WZW model at $d=2+ε$ dimensions by formulating them as the QED theory, and we again find its anomalous dimension has a logarithmic asymptotic behaviour with respect to spin. This result resolves the mystery regarding the mechanism of breaking higher spin currents of Virasoro symmetry at $d=2+ε$ dimensions, and may be applicable to other interesting problems such as the $2+ε$ expansion of Ising CFT.
In this paper, we investigate if it is possible to express correlation functions in Large N Chern-Simons (CS) matter theories/ Slightly Broken Higher Spin (SBHS) theories purely in terms of single trace twist conformal blocks (TCBs). For this, we first develop the machinery for spinning TCBs. We do this both by explicitly solving the spinning TCB eigenvalue equation taking into account consistency with the operator product expansion (OPE) and crossing symmetry, and also by employing weight shifting and spin raising operators and acting with them on scalar seeds. Using these results we show that spinning correlators in theories with exact higher spin symmetry can be entirely expressed in terms of single trace TCBs. However, when the higher spin symmetry is slightly broken at large- N, even though the scalar four-point function is given by single-trace TCBs, the spinning correlators in general, are not. Our results suggest that it may be possible to identify a sub-sector of SBHS theory which has a local bulk dual.
We derive a particular approximate solution of Einstein equations, describing the gravitational field of a mass distribution that slightly deviates from spherical symmetry. The deviation is described by means of a quadrupole parameter that is responsible for the appearance of a curvature singularity, which is not covered by a horizon. We investigate the motion of test particles in the gravitational field of this naked singularity and show that the quadrupole parameter affects the properties of Schwarzschild trajectories. By investigating radial geodesics, we find that no effects of repulsive gravity are present. We interpreted this result as indicating that repulsive gravity is non-linear effect.
We show the existence and multiplicity of concentrating solutions to a pure Neumann slightly supercritical problem in a ball. This is the first existence result for this kind of problems in the supercritical regime. Since the solutions must satisfy a compatibility condition of zero average, all of them have to change sign. Our proofs are based on a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction argument which incorporates the zero-average condition using suitable symmetries. Our approach also guarantees the existence and multiplicity of solutions to subcritical Neumann problems in annuli. More general symmetric domains (e.g. ellipsoids) are also discussed.
We investigate the second order asymptotic behavior of trimmed sums $T_n=\frac 1n \sum_{i=\kn+1}^{n-\mn}\xin$, where $\kn$, $\mn$ are sequences of integers, $0\le \kn < n-\mn \le n$, such that $\min(\kn, \mn) \to \infty$, as $ ty$, the $\xin$'s denote the order statistics corresponding to a sample $X_1,...,X_n$ of $n$ i.i.d. random variables. In particular, we focus on the case of slightly trimmed sums with vanishing trimming percentages, i.e. we assume that $\max(\kn,\mn)/n\to 0$, as $ ty$, and heavy tailed distribution $F$, i.e. the common distribution of the observations $F$ is supposed to have an infinite variance. We derive optimal bounds of Berry -- Esseen type of the order $O\bigl(r_n^{-1/2}\bigr)$, $r_n=\min(\kn,\mn)$, for the normal approximation to $T_n$ and, in addition, establish one-term expansions of the Edgeworth type for slightly trimmed sums and their studentized versions. Our results supplement previous work on first order approximations for slightly trimmed sums by Csorgo, Haeusler and Mason (1988) and on second order approximations for (Studentized) trimmed sums with fixed trimming percentages by Gribkova and Helmers (2006, 2007).
Due to the nonlinearity of the Euler{Poisson equations, it is possible that the nonlinear Jeans instability may lead to a faster density growing rate than the rate in the standard theory of linearized Jeans instability, which motivates us to study the nonlinear Jeans instability. The aim of this article is to develop a method proving the Jeans instability for slightly nonlinear Euler-Poisson equations in the expanding Newtonian universe. The standard proofs of the Jeans instability rely on the Fourier analysis. However, it is difficult to generalize Fourier method to a nonlinear setting, and thus there is no result in the nonlinear analysis of Jeans instability. We firstly develop a non-Fourier-based method to reprove the linearized Jeans instability in the expanding Newtonian universe. Secondly, we generalize this idea to a slightly nonlinear case. This method relies on the Cauchy problem of the Fuchsian system due to the recent developments of this system in mathematics. The fully nonlinear Jeans instability for the Euler-Poisson and Einstein-Euler equations are in progress.
We consider three dimensional conformal field theories that have a higher spin symmetry that is slightly broken. The theories have a large N limit, in the sense that the operators separate into single trace and multitrace and obey the usual large N factorization properties. We assume that the spectrum of single trace operators is similar to the one that one gets in the Vasiliev theories. Namely, the only single trace operators are the higher spin currents plus an additional scalar. The anomalous dimensions of the higher spin currents are of order 1/N. Using the slightly broken higher spin symmetry we constrain the three point functions of the theories to leading order in N. We show that there are two families of solutions. One family can be realized as a theory of N fermions with an O(N) Chern-Simons gauge field, the other as a N bosons plus the Chern-Simons gauge field. The family of solutions is parametrized by the 't Hooft coupling. At special parity preserving points we get the critical O(N) models, both the Wilson-Fisher one and the Gross-Neveu one. Our analysis also fixes the on shell three point functions of Vasiliev's theory on AdS_4 or dS_4.
Self similarity allows for analytic or semi-analytic solutions to many hydrodynamics problems. Most of these solutions are one dimensional. Using linear perturbation theory, expanded around such a one-dimensional solution, we find self-similar hydrodynamic solutions that are two- or three-dimensional. Since the deviation from a one-dimensional solution is small, we call these slightly two-dimensional and slightly three-dimensional self-similar solutions, respectively. As an example, we treat strong spherical explosions of the second type. A strong explosion propagates into an ideal gas with negligible temperature and density profile of the form rho(r,theta,phi)=r^{-omega}[1+sigma*F(theta,phi)], where omega>3 and sigma << 1. Analytical solutions are obtained by expanding the arbitrary function F(theta,phi) in spherical harmonics. We compare our results with two dimensional numerical simulations, and find good agreement.
The inclusion of a flat metric tensor in gravitation permits the formulation of a gravitational stress-energy tensor and the formal derivation of general relativity from a linear theory in flat spacetime. Building on the works of Kraichnan and Deser, we present such a derivation using universal coupling and gauge invariance. Next we slightly weaken the assumptions of universal coupling and gauge invariance, obtaining a larger ``slightly bimetric'' class of theories, in which the Euler-Lagrange equations depend only on a curved metric, matter fields, and the determinant of the flat metric. The theories are equivalent to generally covariant theories with an arbitrary cosmological constant and an arbitrarily coupled scalar field, which can serve as an inflaton or dark matter. The question of the consistency of the null cone structures of the two metrics is addressed. A difficulty for Logunov's massive gravitation on this front is noted.
We consider a slightly subcritical Dirichlet problem with a non-power nonlinearity in a bounded smooth domain. For this problem, standard compact embeddings cannot be used to guarantee the existence of solutions as in the case of power-type nonlinearities. Instead, we use a Ljapunov-Schmidt reduction method to show that there is a positive solution which concentrates at a non-degenerate critical point of the Robin function. This is the first existence result for this type of generalized slightly subcritical problems.
