Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract In the “Covering” pursuit game on a graph, a robber and a set of cops play alternately, with the cops each moving to an adjacent vertex (or not moving) and the robber moving to a vertex at distance at most 2 from his current vertex. The aim of the cops is to ensure that, after every one of their turns, there is a cop at the same vertex as the ...

Combinatorics on number walls and the P(t)$P(t)$‐adic Littlewood conjecture
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract In 2004, de Mathan and Teulié stated the p$p$‐adic Littlewood conjecture (p$p$‐LC) in analogy with the classical Littlewood conjecture. Let Fq$\mathbb {F}_q$ be a finite field P(t)$P(t)$ be an irreducible polynomial with coefficients in Fq$\mathbb {F}_q$. This paper deals with the analogue of p$p$‐LC over the ring of formal Laurent series over

The modular automorphisms of quotient modular curves
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract We obtain the modular automorphism group of any quotient modular curve of level N$N$, with 4,9∤N$4,9\nmid N$. In particular, we obtain some unexpected automorphisms of order 3 that appear for the quotient modular curves when the Atkin–Lehner involution w25$w_{25}$ belongs to the quotient modular group. We also prove that such automorphisms are

New upper bound for lattice covering by spheres
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract We show that there exists a lattice covering of Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$ by Euclidean spheres of equal radius with density O(nlnβn)$O\big (n \ln ^{\beta } n \big)$ as n→∞$n\rightarrow \infty$, where β≔12log28πe33=1.85837….$$\begin{align*} \beta \coloneqq \frac{1}{2} \log _2 {\left(\frac{8 \pi \mathrm{e}}{3\sqrt 3}\right)}=1.85837\,\ldots . \end{align*

One‐level densities in families of Grössencharakters associated to CM elliptic curves
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract We study the low‐lying zeros of a family of L$L$‐functions attached to the complex multiplication elliptic curve Ed:y2=x3−dx$E_d \;:\; y^2 = x^3 - dx$, for each odd and square‐free integer d$d$. Specifically, upon writing the L$L$‐function of Ed$E_d$ as L(s−12,ξd)$L(s-\frac{1}{2}, \xi _d)$ for the appropriate Grössencharakter ξd$\xi _d$ of ...

Completing Partial k‐Star Designs
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 33, Issue 12, Page 446-455, December 2025.ABSTRACT A k‐star is a complete bipartite graph K 1 , k. A partial k‐star design of order n is a pair ( V , A ) where V is a set of n vertices and A is a set of edge‐disjoint k‐stars whose vertex sets are subsets of V. If each edge of the complete graph with vertex set V is in some star in A, then ( V , A ) is a (complete) k‐star design.

Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 33, Issue 12, Page 456-470, December 2025.ABSTRACT A family ℱ of subsets of [ n ] = { 1 , 2 , … , n } shatters a set A ⊆ [ n ] if for every A ′ ⊆ A, there is an F ∈ ℱ such that F ∩ A = A '. We develop a framework to analyze f ( n , k , d ), the maximum possible number of subsets of [ n ] of size d that can be shattered by a family of size k.

Journal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 448-456, December 2025.ABSTRACT A dominating K t‐model in a graph G is a sequence ( T 1 , … , T t ) of pairwise disjoint non‐empty connected subgraphs of G, such that for 1 ⩽ i < j ⩽ t every vertex in T j has a neighbour in T i. Replacing ‘every vertex in T j’ by ‘some vertex in T j’ retrieves the standard definition of K t‐model, which is equivalent to K t being a minor of ...

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 2128-2138, December 2025.ABSTRACT Binding in cis‐configuration to the PD‐1 receptor (PD‐1) and IL‐2βγ receptor (IL‐2Rβγ) has been shown to lead to differentiation of CD8 T cells to better effectors, which is anticipated to drive efficacy of the immune‐targeted cytokine eciskafusp alfa, or PD1‐IL2v.

Fast Construction on a Restricted Budget
Random Structures &Algorithms, Volume 67, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT We introduce a model of a controlled random graph process. In this model, the edges of the complete graph Kn$$ {K}_n $$ are ordered randomly and then revealed, one by one, to a player called Builder. He must decide, immediately and irrevocably, whether to purchase each observed edge.
