Sliding Motions on Non‐Euclidean State Spaces: A Differential‐Geometric Perspective
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper extends sliding‐mode control theory to nonlinear systems evolving on smooth manifolds. Building on differential geometric methods, we reformulate Filippov's notion of solutions, characterize well‐defined vector fields on quotient spaces, and provide a consistent geometric definition of higher‐order sliding modes.

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.Machine learning provides a unifying framework to connect structure, fluorescence properties, and applications of carbon‐based quantum dots. This review highlights how data‐driven strategies enable fluorescence regulation, reveal underlying mechanisms, and accelerate the rational design of functional carbon dots.

Decomposing venture evaluation: Learning about belief formation
Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary Evaluating early‐stage ventures is difficult because observable signals of future quality are weak and noisy. How closely are evaluators' assessments related to venture quality, and do their subjective judgments add to the information already available about a venture?

Subsemigroups of virtually free groups : finite Malcev presentations and testing for freeness [PDF]
, 2006 This paper shows that, given a finite subset X of a finitely generated virtually free group F, the freeness of the subsemigroup of F generated by X can be tested algorithmically. (A group is virtually free if it contains a free subgroup of finite index.)

Cayley automaton semigroups [PDF]
, 2015 Let S be a semigroup, C(S) the automaton constructed from the right Cayley graph of S with respect to all of S as the generating set and ∑(C(S)) the automaton semigroup constructed from C(S). Such semigroups are termed Cayley automaton semigroups. For

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Although a substantial body of research documents the problem of course tracking for students classified as English learners (ELs), very little work has addressed the notably different challenges that subgroups of ELs face across different state policy contexts.

Welcome to the jangle (fallacy): The case of statistics and mathematics anxieties
British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Statistics‐related anxiety is a common barrier to learning in higher education, particularly for psychology and other non‐specialist students. High prevalence rates are concerning because statistical literacy is integral to academic success, employability and informed citizenship.

Well quasi-order in combinatorics : embeddings and homomorphisms [PDF]
, 2015 The notion of well quasi-order (wqo) from the theory of ordered sets often arises naturally in contexts where one deals with infinite collections of structures which can somehow be compared, and it then represents a useful discriminator between ‘tame ...

New estimation methods for diagnostic classification models
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract This paper introduces a new class of estimators for cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) based on the Cressie–Read family of ϕ$$ \phi $$‐divergences. Focusing on the loglinear CDM (LCDM), for which joint maximum likelihood estimation (JMLE) has been shown to be consistent, we propose a joint minimum divergence estimation (JMDE) framework.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.
