A note on Deaconescu’s conjecture

open access: yesAnnals of the West University of Timisoara: Mathematics and Computer Science
Hasanalizade [5] studied Deaconescu’s conjecture for positive composite integer n. A positive composite integer n ≥ 4 is said to be a Deaconescu number if S2(n) | ϕ(n) − 1.

Fisher's Ideas and the Design of Field Experiments in Agronomy and Plant Breeding

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT R. A. Fisher was one of the greatest scientists of the last century. He made many groundbreaking contributions, so many indeed that it seems almost impossible to list all of them. His revolutionary contributions to the design of experiments can mostly be traced back to the early part of his academic career, and they are inextricably linked to ...

Arc‐ZTE: Continuously‐Slewed Zero‐TE Imaging With Incoherent Temporal Sampling for Near‐Silent Dynamic MRI

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1726-1740, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To enable flexible dynamic and DCE MRI with low acoustic noise and high spatiotemporal resolution using zero echo time (ZTE) imaging. Methods This work proposes Arc‐ZTE, a technique in which the readout gradients of ZTE are continuously‐slewed to form arcs in k‐space that are sequentially rotated to yield an incoherent trajectory ...

Extremal orders of some functions connected to regular integers modulo n

open access: yesAnalele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2013
Let V (n) denote the number of positive regular integers (mod n) less than or equal to n. We give extremal orders of , , , , where σ(n), ψ(n) are the sum-of-divisors function and the Dedekind function, respectively. We also give extremal orders for and ,

Analogies and differences between the logic behind statistical hypothesis testing and proofs by contradiction: What can we learn from them?

open access: yesTeaching Statistics, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 185-197, Autumn (Fall) 2026.
Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

Modularity of arithmetic special divisors for unitary Shimura varieties (with an appendix by Yujie Xu)

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma
We construct explicit generating series of arithmetic extensions of Kudla’s special divisors on integral models of unitary Shimura varieties over CM fields with arbitrary split levels and prove that they are modular forms valued in the arithmetic Chow ...

Panel Sequential Group Estimation of Interactive Effects Models

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Volume 88, Issue 5, Page 1248-1266, October 2026.
ABSTRACTThis paper proposes a novel procedure to identify latent groups in the slopes of panel data models with interactive effects. The method is straightforward to apply and relies only on closed‐form estimators when evaluating the objective function. This achieves substantial computational gains compared to alternative non‐linear methods and enables

A tropical version of Martens' theorem for metric graphs

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We study the conjecture stated by Jensen and Len on a tropical version on Martens' theorem via the Brill–Noether rank of a tropical curve. We recall Coppens' counterexample of Martens‐special chain of cycles, and we generalize the construction defining another class of graphs, Martens‐special trees of cycles, for which the conjecture does not ...

On the maximum likelihood degree of Gaussian graphical models

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract In this paper we revisit the likelihood geometry of Gaussian graphical models. We give a detailed proof that the ML‐degree behaves monotonically on induced subgraphs. Furthermore, we complete a missing argument that the ML‐degree of the nth$n{\rm th}$ cycle is larger than 1 for any n⩾4$n\geqslant 4$, therefore completing the characterization ...

Mixed motives and linear forms in the Catalan constant

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 114, Issue 4, October 2026.
Abstract We first give a geometric construction of a two‐dimensional mixed motive over Q${\mathbb {Q}}$ with the Catalan constant G=1−1/32+1/52−1/72+⋯${\mathbf {G}}=1-1/3^2+1/5^2-1/7^2+\cdots$ as a period. We then use this motive to obtain a supply of linear forms in 1 and G${\mathbf {G}}$.
