Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

Beyond Spherical Harmonics: Rethinking Appearance Models for Radiance Reconstruction
Abstract View‐dependent appearance modeling remains a challenging problem in novel‐view synthesis and reconstruction. Accurately representing complex angular effects often requires substantial memory and computational resources. For new learning‐based methods, a common approach is to rely on Spherical Harmonics (SH).

Summary Understanding the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID‐19 is crucial for informed decision‐making and resource allocation. A critical component of disease behaviour is the velocity with which disease spreads, defined as the rate of change between time and space.

Mixing It Up: Inflation at Risk
Abstract Understanding how risk factors shape the economic outlook is essential for guiding policy decisions. This paper develops a flexible framework that decomposes distributional risk forecasts of macro‐economic variables into underlying contributions and supports the construction of interpretable risk measures.

Sequential Outlier Detection in Nonstationary Time Series
ABSTRACT A novel method for sequential outlier detection in nonstationary time series is proposed. The method tests the null hypothesis of “no outlier” at each time point, addressing the multiple testing problem by bounding the error probability of successive tests, using extreme‐value theory. The asymptotic properties of the test statistic are studied

On the Exact Limiting Distribution of a Volatility Target Index
ABSTRACT Assuming a lognormal distribution for the underlying risky asset, we study the limiting distribution of a volatility target index as the rebalancing time step approaches zero. Two limit theorems (a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem) are established, and as an application, the exact limiting distribution is derived.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Workers' Selection Exams: The Case of the Bank of Italy
ABSTRACT High‐stakes exams can be used to rank and select candidates for job openings, and the ability of those selected hinges on the design of the exam. I propose a method to model candidates' performance to assess how effective the exam is at selecting high‐ability candidates.

Is the World Getting Smaller? Network‐Driven Heterogeneity in Gravity‐Model Elasticities
ABSTRACT Gravity models constitute the workhorse of empirical international trade research, yet the temporal stability of their core parameters—distance and GDP elasticities—remains underexplored, particularly in relation to the evolving structure of trade networks.

A Partitioned Coupling Approach for Electromechanics Simulations of Skeletal Muscles Using FEBio
ABSTRACT This work presents a partitioned coupling approach for electromechanical simulations of skeletal muscles. For the first time, we couple our highly specialized electrophysiology solver, which computes both force generation in muscle cells and action potential propagation in muscle fibers, with an external finite element continuum mechanics ...

Inverse problems for semilinear elliptic PDE with a general nonlinearity a(x,u)$a(x,u)$
Abstract This article studies the inverse problem of recovering a nonlinearity in an elliptic equation Δu+a(x,u)=0$\Delta u + a(x,u) = 0$ from boundary measurements of solutions. Previous results based on first‐order linearization achieve this under a sign condition on ∂ua(x,u)$\partial _u a(x,u)$, and results based on higher order linearization ...
