Summary: This study applies the Feynman-Kitaev formalism to a spin chain described by the transverse-field Ising model. Neural quantum states (NQSs), represented by variational wave functions parameterized by artificial neural networks, are used to find the ground state of the system. The research focuses on evaluating the expressivity and trainability of NQSs in the context of the Feynman-Kitaev formalism. The results show that NQSs can accurately approximate the true ground state of the system, but reaching the correct values for the variational parameters becomes more difficult as the number of time steps increases.

Summary: This article studies the nonlocal Schrodinger problem with general nonlinearities and the semiclassical ground state solutions of Nehari-Pohoaey type. By making assumptions on the potential V, improved existence results are obtained, along with the analysis of the concentration behavior of the ground state solutions in the limit case. These results extend previous related research.

Summary: In this paper, we study quasilinear elliptic equations driven by the double phase operator and involving a Choquard term. We prove the existence of ground state solutions using the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, the Nehari manifold, and variational tools under different assumptions on the data.

Summary: We propose a direct solution to the stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem by utilizing Markov state disaggregation to construct a stochastic transition matrix with the desired eigenspectrum. Unlike existing solutions that are limited to real-valued eigenspectra, our novel solution directly constructs matrices with complex-valued eigenspectra by combining a new disaggregation technique with a technique from a previous solution. This generalization allows for successful modeling of physical systems from a larger family. Additionally, our solution constructs the matrix in a finite number of iterations without numerical approximation, as demonstrated through the derivation of a set of 4x4 stochastic matrices with the same prescribed complex-valued eigenspectrum indexed by a real parameter.

Summary: In this paper, we investigate a nonlocal problem in R-N and prove the existence of ground state solutions under certain assumptions on f(x) when the parameter A is large enough. Additionally, we analyze the concentration behaviors of these solutions as the parameter lambda approaches infinity.

Summary: This article discusses the Profitable Close-Enough Arc Routing Problem (PCEARP), an extension of the Close-Enough ARP (CEARP). A formulation for this new problem and some valid inequalities are presented, and a polyhedral study of its feasible solutions is conducted. A heuristic and a branch-and-cut procedure are proposed for solving the PCEARP, and their performance has been tested on several sets of instances with different characteristics.

Summary: This study estimated the unknown spatially dependent surface heat flux for a three-dimensional steady-state inverse heat conduction-convection conjugated problem (IHCCCP). The conjugate gradient method (CGM) was used for optimization, enabling correction and estimation of a large number of unknowns in each iteration to yield accurate estimates. Experimental verification and analysis of measurement errors were conducted. The accuracy of the estimated heat flux decreases as the plate thickness increases due to the ill-posed nature of the inverse problem.

Summary: This paper deals with a nonlocal problem involving combined critical nonlinearities. The problem is posed in a domain Omega which is a bounded C-1,C-1 domain with Lipschitz boundary in R-N, and the equation involves a fractional Laplacian operator (-Delta)(s). The paper establishes the existence of a ground state solution for the problem under certain conditions on the parameters.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the acceleration of two iterative algorithms for accurate reconstruction of missing temperature and normal heat flux on an inaccessible boundary. The convergence of each algorithm is analyzed by considering the properties of the corresponding operator and determining the optimal value of the relaxation parameter. Numerical experiments confirm the effectiveness of the algorithms in reducing CPU time.

Summary: This paper presents a Lipschitz stability result for a crack inverse problem in half space, focusing on the unknown geometry and location of the crack. By assuming certain conditions on the geometry, it is shown that the inverse problem is uniquely solvable, highlighting the stability of reconstructing the crack plane despite the unknown forcing term.
