International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This work addresses the challenge of bidirectional trajectory tracking in solar‐powered wheeled mobile robots (WMRs), considering the mechanical structure, actuator‐driver, and power stage subsystems. Notably, this is the first study to explicitly model and control the actuator‐driver subsystem within this context. The proposed solution relies

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract In many low‐ and middle‐income countries, social insurance provides basic pension benefits with limited cover for illness and care costs, while private insurance markets are underdeveloped. Using an online survey of retirement portfolio choices in urban China, we examined the stated demand for longevity, critical illness, and long‐term care ...

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 2816-2838, June 2026.An adaptive fuzzy controller using an interval type‐3 fuzzy logic system replaces the SMC switching term to mitigate chattering while preserving global stability for islanded inverters. Simulations show lower THD, greater robustness to disturbances and parameter variations, and improved voltage‐tracking accuracy, with applicability to other uncertain ...

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT In this paper, we continue the development of the Cartan neural networks programme, launched with three previous publications, by focusing on some mathematical foundational aspects that we deem necessary for our next steps forward. The mathematical and conceptual results are diverse and span various mathematical fields, but the inspiring ...

Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract In this paper, we study traces of Hecke operators on Drinfeld modular forms of level 1 in the case A=Fq[T]$A = \mathbb {F}_q[T]$. We deduce closed‐form expressions for traces of Hecke operators corresponding to primes of degree at most 2 and provide algorithms for primes of higher degree.

Homogeneous Observer‐Based Affine Formation Tracking
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 2692-2704, 25 March 2026.ABSTRACT This article addresses the control of mobile agents, termed followers, to track a time‐varying affine formation specified by a set of leaders. We present a distributed hierarchical method composed of a homogeneous high‐order sliding mode observer and a tracking controller. The observer estimates the followers' target trajectories from neighbor

Modeling Airborne Influenza in Three Dimensions
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.A novel 3D fluid dynamics model demonstrates how influenza outbreaks spread spatially via “epidemic flow.” Simulations reveal that direct contact is the dominant transmission route over aerosol spread, offering a new tool to inform targeted public health interventions and spatially‐aware risk assessment.

Critically fixed Thurston maps: classification, recognition, and twisting
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract An orientation‐preserving branched covering map f:S2→S2$f\colon S^2\rightarrow S^2$ is called a critically fixed Thurston map if f$f$ fixes each of its critical points. It was recently shown that there is an explicit one‐to‐one correspondence between Möbius conjugacy classes of critically fixed rational maps and isomorphism classes of planar ...

Mating parabolic rational maps with Hecke groups
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract We prove that any degree d$d$ rational map having a parabolic fixed point of multiplier 1 with a fully invariant and simply connected immediate basin of attraction is mateable with the Hecke group Hd+1$\mathcal {H}_{d+1}$, with the mating realised by an algebraic correspondence.

A Practical Real‐Time Observer‐Based Radiation Prediction Algorithm for Solar Plants
Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 887-904, February 2026.A novel radiation prediction method is proposed. The model's existence is verified by applying real data to an offline identifier. An adaptive state/parameter estimator is developed to identify the model. The identification process occurs in real‐time, independent of specific situations. The method offers universal radiation prediction.
