Optimizing microbe-infected mosquito release: a stochastic model for malaria prevention

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
Malaria remains a critical public health challenge in Africa, demanding innovative control strategies. This study introduces a novel approach using Microsporidia MB-infected mosquitoes and stochastic optimal control within a Lévy process framework to ...

Golden‐Ratio–Guided Aperiodic Architected Metamaterials with Simultaneously Enhanced Strength and Toughness

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the golden ratio, a class of aperiodic architected metamaterials is introduced to address the intrinsic trade‐off between strength and toughness. By unifying local geometric heterogeneity with global order, the golden‐ratio‐guided aperiodic architecture promotes spatial delocalization of damage tolerence regions, leading to more tortuous ...

On the Optimality of State-Dependent Base-Stock Policies for an Inventory System with PH-Type Disruptions

Logistics
Background: The management of inventory under realistic supply chain disruptions, which are often non-exponential, challenges classical control theory.

Stochastic Control with Signatures

SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization
This paper proposes to parameterize open loop controls in stochastic optimal control problems via suitable classes of functionals depending on the driver's path signature, a concept adopted from rough path integration theory. We rigorously prove that these controls are dense in the class of progressively measurable controls and use rough path methods ...

A Smart Magnetically Actuated Flip‐Disc Programmable Metasurface with Ultralow Power Consumption for Real‐Time Channel Control

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study proposes a 1‐bit programmable metasurface based on flip‐disc display, named flip‐disc metasurface (FD‐MTS). This new design enables ultralow energy consumption while maintaining coding patterns. It also exhibits high scalability and multifunctional flexibility.

Construction of an Optimal Strategy: An Analytic Insight Through Path Integral Control Driven by a McKean–Vlasov Opinion Dynamics

Mathematics
In this paper, we have constructed a closed-form optimal strategy within a social network using stochastic McKean–Vlasov dynamics. Each agent independently minimizes their dynamic cost functional, driven by stochastic differential opinion dynamics. These

Laser‐Based Sculpturing of Embedded Ultrathin Metal‐Oxide Nanopores for Enhanced Biomolecular Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlled laser‐drilling of embedded HfO2 membranes creates three layer nanopores with Gaussian‐shaped cavities sculptured in the supporting layers. These embedded solid‐state nanopores slow DNA translocation by 12‐fold compared to SiNx pores, enabling high‐resolution, label‐free detection of short DNAs, RNAs, and proteins.

Characterization of Rare Events in Molecular Dynamics

Entropy, 2013
A good deal of molecular dynamics simulations aims at predicting and quantifying rare events, such as the folding of a protein or a phase transition. Simulating rare events is often prohibitive, especially if the equations of motion are high-dimensional,

Roll‐to‐Roll Mechanical Exfoliation for Large‐Area van der Waals Films with Preserved Crystallographic Alignment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A roll‐to‐roll exfoliation method is demonstrated that preserves the crystallographic alignment of anisotropic 2D materials over large areas, enabling scalable fabrication of directional electronic and optoelectronic devices. Abstract Anisotropic 2D materials such as black phosphorus (BP), GeS or CrSBr, exhibit direction‐dependent optical and ...
