Method for constructing shortcuts to adiabaticity by a substitute of counterdiabatic driving terms
We propose an efficientmethod to construct shortcuts to adiabaticity through designing a substitute Hamiltonian to try to avoid the defect in which the speed-up protocol' Hamiltonian may involve terms which are difficult to realize in practice.

Abstract Boundary Delay Systems and Application to Network Flow
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the well‐posedness and positivity of solutions to a class of delayed transport equations on a network. The material flow is delayed at the vertices and along the edges. The problem is reformulated as an abstract boundary delay equation, and well‐posedness is proved by using the Staffans–Weiss theory.

Radiocarbon‐Inferred Population Trajectories for Southeastern Arabia During the Bronze Age
ABSTRACT This paper builds on previous attempts to estimate radiocarbon‐inferred population trends—although in Arabia, these attempts are few. A probabilistic reconstruction of Bronze Age (3200–1300 cal BC) demographic trends using a new data set of radiocarbon rates from across the Arabian Peninsula (n = 1280) is presented and a subset of dates (n ...
