Agentic LMs: Hunting Down Test Smells

Rian Melo, Pedro Simões, Rohit Gheyi +5

Test smells reduce test suite reliability and complicate maintenance. While many methods detect test smells, few support automated removal, and most rely on static analysis or mach…

User Story Tutor (UST) to Support Agile Software Developers

Giseldo da Silva Neo, José Antão Beltrão Moura, Hyggo Oliveira de Almeida +2

User Stories record what must be built in projects that use agile practices. User Stories serve both to estimate effort, generally measured in Story Points, and to plan what should…

Ruled surfaces as translating solitons of the inverse mean curvature flow in the three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space

Gregório Silva Neto, Vanessa Silva

In this paper, we classify the nondegenerate ruled surfaces in the three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space that are translating solitons for the inverse mean curvature flow. In p…

Classical and Quantum Elliptical Billiards: Mixed Phase Space and Short Correlations in Singlets and Doublets

T. Araújo Lima, R. B. do Carmo

Billiards are flat cavities where a particle is free to move between elastic collisions with the boundary. In chaos theory these systems are simple prototypes, their conservative d…

Nonlinear flip-flop quantum walks through potential barriers

F. S. Passos, A. R. C. Buarque

The dynamics of nonlinear flip-flop quantum walk with amplitude-dependent phase shifts with pertubing potential barrier is investigated. Through the adjustment between uniform loca…

Synchronous observation of Bell nonlocality and state-dependent Kochen-Specker contextuality

Lei Xiao, Gabriel Ruffolo, André Mazzari +4

Bell nonlocality and Kochen-Specker contextuality are two remarkable nonclassical features of quantum theory, related to strong correlations between outcomes of measurements perfor…

What Evidence We Would Miss If We Do Not Use Grey Literature?

Fernando Kamei, Gustavo Pinto, Igor Wiese +2

Context: Over the last years, Grey Literature (GL) is gaining increasing attention in Secondary Studies in Software Engineering (SE). Notably, Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) st…

Quadrilaterals on the square screen of their diagonals: Regge symmetries of quantum-mechanical spin-networks and Grashof classical mechanisms of four-bar linkages

Vincenzo Aquilanti, Ana Carla Peixoto Bitencourt, Concetta Caglioti +4

The four-bar linkage is a basic arrangement of mechanical engineering and represents the simplest movable system formed by a closed sequence of bar-shaped bodies. Although the mech…

Lévy flights for light in ordered lasers

Erick G. Rocha, Emanuel P. Santos, Bruno J. dos Santos +4

Lévy flights for light have been demonstrated in disordered systems with and without optical gain, and remained unobserved in ordered ones. In the present letter, we investigate, n…

Rigidity of manifolds admitting stable solutions of an elliptic problem

Marcio Batista, Jose I. Santos

In this paper, we study geometric rigidity of Riemannian manifolds admitting stable solutions of certain elliptic problems (stability in a variational sense), that is, under suitab…
