description:
The revelation principle is a cornerstone tool in mechanism design. It states that one can restrict attention, without loss in the designer’s objective, to mechanisms in which A) the agents report their types completely in a single step up front, and B) the agents are motivated to be truthful. We show that reasonable constraints on computation and communication can invalidate the revelation principle. Regarding A, we show that by moving to multi-step mechanisms, one can reduce exponential communication and computation to
linear—thereby answering a recognized important open question in mechanism design. Regarding B, we criticize the focus on truthful mechanisms—a dogma that has, to our knowledge, never been criticized before. First, we study settings where the optimal truthful mechanism is N P -complete to execute for the center. In that setting we show that by moving to insincere mechanisms, one can shift the burden of having to solve the N P -complete problem from
the center to one of the agents. Second, we study a new oracle model that captures the setting where utility values can be hard to compute even when all the pertinent information is available—a situation that occurs in many practical applications. In this model we show that by moving to insincere mechanisms, one can shift the burden of having to ask the oracle an exponential number of costly queries from the center to one of the agents. In both cases the insincere mechanism is equally good as the optimal truthful mechanism in the presence of unlimited computation. More interestingly, whereas being unable to carry out either difﬁcult task would have hurt the center in achieving his objective in the truthful setting, if the agent is unable to carry out either difﬁcult task, the value of the center’s objective strictly improves.

description: We present the results of a contemporaneous photometric and spectroscopic monitoring of lambda And and II Peg aimed at investigating the behavior of surface inhomogeneities in the atmospheres of these active stars which have nearly the same temperature but different gravity. The light curves and the modulation of the surface temperature, as recovered from LDRs, are used to map the photospheric spots, while the H-alpha emission has been used as an indicator of chromospheric inhomogeneities. The spot temperatures and sizes were derived from a spot model applied to the contemporaneous light and temperature curves. We find larger and cooler spots on II Peg (T_sp ~ 3600 K) compared to lambda And (T_sp ~ 3900 K); this could be the result of both the different gravity and the higher activity level of the former. Moreover, we find a clear anti-correlation between the H-alpha emission and the photospheric diagnostics. We have also detected a modulation of the intensity of the HeI D_3 line with the star rotation. A rough reconstruction of the 3D structure of their atmospheres has been also performed by applying a spot/plage model to the light and temperature curves and to the H-alpha flux modulation. A close spatial association of photospheric and chromospheric active regions has been found in both stars. Larger and cooler spots have been found on II Peg, the system with the active component of higher gravity and higher activity level. The area ratio of plages to spots seems to decrease when the spots get bigger. Moreover, with the present and literature data, a correlation between the temperature difference Delta_T = T_ph - T_sp and the surface gravity has been also suggested. In addition, a strong flare affecting the H-alpha, the HeI D_3, and the cores of NaI D_1,2 lines has been observed on II Peg.

Such structures are of interest for both Hermitian geometry and string theory, since they provide the ideal setting for the Hull-Strominger system. In this paper, we provide a non-existence result for balanced non-Kähler $\rm{SU}(3)$-structures which are invariant under a cohomogeneity one action on simply connected six-manifolds.

The semilinear Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation: a case of wave with critical dissipation
Creators: name: D'Abbicco, Marcello

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In this paper we study the existence of global-in-time energy solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation, with a power nonlinearity: $$u_{tt}-u_{xx} + \fracμ{t}\,u_t = |u|^p \,, \quad t>t_0, \ x\in\mathbb{R}\,.$$ Here either $t_0=0$ (singular problem) or $t_0>0$ (regular problem). This model represents a wave equation with critical dissipation, in the sense that the possibility to have global small data solutions depend not only on the power $p$, but also on the parameter $μ$. We prove that, assuming small initial data in $L^1$ and in the energy space, global-in-time energy solutions exist for $p>p_c =\max\{p_0(1+μ),3\}$, for any $μ>0$, where $p_0(k)$ is the critical exponent for the semilinear wave equation without dissipation in space dimension $k$, conjectured by W.A. Strauss, and $3$ is the critical exponent obtained by H. Fujita for semilinear heat equations. We also collect some global-in-time existence result of small data solutions for the multidimensional EPD equation $$u_{tt}-Δu + \fracμ{t}\,u_t = |u|^p \,, \quad t>t_0, \ x\in\mathbb{R}^n\,,$$ with powers $p$ greater than Fujita exponent and sufficiently large $μ$.

description: Revenue maximization in combinatorial auctions (and other multidimensional selling settings) is one of the most important and most elusive problems in mechanism design. The design problem is NP-complete, and the optimal designs include features that are not acceptable in many applications, such as favoring some bidders over others and randomization. In this paper, we instead study a common revenue-enhancement approach - bundling - in the context of the most commonly studied combinatorial auction mechanism, the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism. A second challenge in mechanism design for combinatorial auctions is that the prior distribution on each bidder’s valuation can be doubly exponential. Such priors do not exist in most applications. Rather, in many applications (such as premium display advertising markets), there is essentially a point prior, which may not be accurate. We adopt the point prior model, and prove robustness to inaccuracy in the prior. Then, we present a branch-and-bound framework for finding the optimal bundling. We introduce several techniques for branching, upper bounding, lower bounding, and lazy bounding. Experiments on CATS distributions validate the approach and show that our techniques dramatically improve scalability over a leading general-purpose MIP solver.
Case Study of the Uber Failure in China: A Technoethical Analysis
Creators: name: Yu, Zhen
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: Abstract Technology and digitalization today have greatly accelerated the process of globalization and introduced new business approaches and concepts. Drawing on the notion of a sharing economy, the ride sharing economy introduced by Uber has created social controversy and debate. When Uber expanded to the market in China from 2013 to 2017 with the venture ending in failure, it marked the first time to introduce the concept of a ‘sharing economy’ to China. The ride sharing economy brought by Uber created economic, political, cultural, and social upheaval within society. Guided by the technoethical approach, a case study on the failure of Uber in China was conducted using a systematic literature review of essential research articles and news coverage from 2013 to 2017. Case study findings uncover the following main themes connected to Uber’s localization in China: safety, privacy, morals and ethics, environments, regulation and legislation, urban plan, labor identity, and labor fairness. The technoethical analysis reveals a gap between technology and ethical awareness, a need to pay more attention to ethical consequences, and a need for government laws and regulations to keep pace with new e-business technologies. This case study contributes new insight into Uber in China and the ride sharing economy from an ethical perspective. Keywords: Uber, China, sharing economy, e-business, Technoethics

description: As an alternative to the time-consuming solder pre-forms and pastes currently used, a co-electroplating method of eutectic Au-Sn alloy was used in this study. Using a co-electroplating process, it was possible to plate the Au-Sn solder directly onto a wafer at or near the eutectic composition from a single solution. Two distinct phases, Au5Sn and AuSn, were deposited at a composition of 30at.%Sn. The Au-Sn flip-chip joints were formed at 300 and 400 degrees without using any flux. In the case where the samples were reflowed at 300 degrees, only an (Au,Ni)3Sn2 IMC layer formed at the interface between the Au-Sn solder and Ni UBM. On the other hand, two IMC layers, (Au,Ni)3Sn2 and (Au,Ni)3Sn, were found at the interfaces of the samples reflowed at 400 degrees. As the reflow time increased, the thickness of the (Au,Ni)3Sn2 and (Au,Ni)3Sn IMC layers formed at the interface increased and the eutectic lamellae in the bulk solder coarsened.

Sharpen statistical significance: Evidence thresholds and Bayes factors sharpened to Occam's razors
Creators: name: Bickel, David R.
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018
Subjects: adjustment for simplicity

p value calibration

strength of statistical evidence

description: Occam's razor suggests assigning more prior probability to a hypothesis corresponding to a simpler distribution of data than to a hypothesis with a more complex distribution of data, other things equal. An idealization of Occam's razor in terms of the entropy of the data distributions tends to favor the null hypothesis over the alternative hypothesis. As a result, lower p values are needed to attain the same level of evidence. A recently debated argument for lowering the significance level to 0.005 as the p value threshold for a new discovery and to 0.05 for a suggestive result would then support further lowering them to 0.001 and 0.01, respectively.

description: Semi-holographic models of non-Fermi liquids have been shown to have generically stable generalised quasi-particles on the Fermi surface. Although these excitations are broad and exhibit particle-hole asymmetry, they were argued to be stable from interactions at the Fermi surface. In this work, we use this observation to compute the density response and collective behaviour in these systems. Compared to the Fermi liquid case, we find that the boundaries of the particle-hole continuum are blurred by incoherent contributions. However, there is a region inside this continuum, that we call inner core, within which salient features of the Fermi liquid case are preserved. A particularly striking prediction of our work is that these systems support a plasmonic collective excitation which is well-defined at large momenta, has an approximately linear dispersion relation and is located in the low-energy tail of the particle-hole continuum. Furthermore, the dynamic screening potential shows deep attractive regions as a function of the distance at higher frequencies which might lead to long-lived pair formation depending on the behaviour of the pair susceptibility. We also find that Friedel oscillations are present in these systems but are highly suppressed.

Computational Applications Of Noise Sensitivity

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This thesis is concerned with the study of the noise sensitivity of boolean functions and its applications in theoretical computer science. Noise sensitivity is defined as follows: Let f be a boolean function and let ε ∈ (0; 1/2 ) be a parameter. Suppose a uniformly random string x is picked, and y is formed by flipping each bit of x independently with probability ε. Then the noise sensitivity of f at ε is defined to be the probability that f(x) and f(y) differ. In this thesis we investigate the noise sensitivity of various classes of boolean functions, including majorities and recursive majorities, boolean threshold functions, and monotone functions. Following this we give new complexity-theoretic and algorithmic applications of noise sensitivity: --Regarding computational hardness amplification, we prove a general direct product theorem that tightly characterizes the hardness of a composite function g⊗f in terms of an assumed hardness of f and the noise sensitivity of g. The theorem lets us prove a new result about the hardness on average of NP: If NP is (1 -- poly(n))-hard for circuits of polynomial size, then it is in fact ( 1 2 +o(1))-hard for circuits of polynomial size. - In the field of computational learning theory, we show that any class whose functions have low noise sensitivity is efficiently learnable. Using our noise sensitivity estimates for functions of boolean halfspaces we obtain new polynomial and quasipolynomial time algorithms for learning intersections, thresholds, and other functions of halfspaces. From noise sensitivity considerations we also give a polynomial time algorithm for learning polynomial-sized DNFs under the ""Random Walk"" model; we also give the fi rst algorithm that learns the class of ""junta"" functions with efficiency better than that of the brute force algorithm. - Finally, we introduce a new collective coin- flipping problem whose study is equivalent to the study of \higher moments"" of the noise sensitivity problem. We prove several results about this extension, and find optimal or near-optimal choices for the coin- flipping function for all asymptotic limits of the parameters. Our techniques include a novel application of the reverse Bonami-Beckner inequality.

description: Emissions trading with output-based allocation (OBA) of emissions allowances is gaining popularity as a means to address sectoral equity issues related to the use of market-based instruments in pollution control. Using a dynamic general equilibrium framework, this paper assesses the potential equity-efficiency trade-off between OBA and alternative emissions trading systems, with special attention to the heterogeneity among energy-intensive industries. Because abatement is achieved at a higher marginal cost with OBA, it is less efficient than emissions trading systems in which permit revenues are used to reduce payroll taxes. Nonetheless, the implicit output subsidy in OBA improves the distributional outcome of the abatement policy to the benefit of energy-intensive industries as a whole. The simulation results also suggest that energy-intensive industries that do not produce energy would be the main beneficiaries of OBA. In the new carbonconstrained environment, energy intensive industries that produce energy could not benefit significantly from OBA. / Le système de permis échangeables avec allocation basée sur la production (SPAP) ne cesse de gagner de popularité en tant que moyen pour atténuer les problèmes d’équité sectorielle liés à l’utilisation des instruments de marché dans le contrôle de la pollution. Nous analysons dans un cadre d’équilibre général dynamique l’arbitrage équité-efficience entre le SPAP et des systèmes alternatifs de permis échangeables avec une attention particulière sur l’hétérogénéité entre les industries à haute intensité énergétique (HIE). Étant donné que l’épuration des gaz à effet de serre est réalisée à un coût marginal plus élevé avec le SPAP, ce dernier est moins efficient que les systèmes de permis échangeables recyclant les revenus à travers une réduction de la taxe sur la masse salariale. Néanmoins, la subvention implicite à la production qu’offre le SPAP permet d’améliorer l’impact distributionnel des politiques d’épuration des GES au profit des industries HIE dans leur ensemble. Toutefois, les résultats de simulation suggèrent que les industries HIE non productrices d’énergie sont les plus grands bénéficiaires du SPAP. Dans un nouvel environnement limitant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, les industries HIE productrices d'énergie ne peuvent tellement bénéficier du SPAP.

description: Results from a recent neuroimaging study on spoken sentence comprehension have been interpreted as evidence for cortical entrainment to hierarchical syntactic structure. We present a simple computational model that predicts the power spectra from this study, even though the model's linguistic knowledge is restricted to the lexical level, and word-level representations are not combined into higher-level units (phrases or sentences). Hence, the cortical entrainment results can also be explained from the lexical properties of the stimuli, without recourse to hierarchical syntax.

Subjects: retirement; risk; returns; capitalization; pay-as-you-go.

description: There are two main types of pension system, a funded system and a pay-as-you-go system. The difference between these two systems is linked to the way they operate: the first is based on sums collected by the working population in special funds that generate interest, so that the contributor can benefit from this deposit when he or she retires, either immediately or in the form of a life annuity.

However, the pay-as-you-go pension system is based on the principle of solidarity, whereby each working population finances the retirement of pensioners by means of a contribution that varies according to the economic and demographic situation.   

The objective of our work is to determine, through a literature review based on academic and institutional contributions on the subject of pension reforms from 1990 to 2023, the most secure and efficient pension system, by comparing the two systems in terms of efficiency, return and risk. According to the comparison, neither of the two systems meets the conditions for efficiency, but in terms of risk, the funded pension system is the more secure.

In this study, the etching solution 40% KOH was used to study the parameters effect. The results show that working temperature is the main parameter to significantly effect the etch rate. The anisotropic etching resulted 54.7 degrees reflective mirrors and its reflectivity for optical beam were also examined. The surface roughness of the micro-mirror is Ra 4.1 nm measured using AFM, it provides excellent optical reflection. The incident light and beam profiles were also examined for further study. This study can show this micro-platform adaptable for fluorescence bio-detection.

description: Vortex rings are remarkably stable structures occurring in numerous systems: for example in turbulent gases, where they are at the origin of weather phenomena [1]; in fluids with implications for biology [2]; in electromagnetic discharges [3]; and in plasmas [4]. While vortex rings have also been predicted to exist in ferromagnets [5], they have not yet been observed. Using X-ray magnetic nanotomography [6], we imaged three-dimensional structures forming closed loops in a bulk micromagnet, each composed of a vortex-antivortex pair. Based on the magnetic vorticity, a quantity analogous to hydrodynamic vorticity, we identify these configurations as magnetic vortex rings. While such structures have been predicted to exist as transient states in exchange ferromagnets [5], the vortex rings we observe exist as stable, static configurations, whose stability we attribute to the dipolar interaction. In addition, we observe stable vortex loops intersected by magnetic singularities [7], at which the magnetisation within the vortex and antivortex cores reverses. We gain insight into the stability of these states through field and thermal equilibration protocols. These measurements pave the way for the observation of complex three-dimensional solitons in bulk magnets, as well as for the development of applications based on three-dimensional magnetic structures.

description: Recent research has studied the role of sparsity in high dimensional regression and signal reconstruction, establishing theoretical limits for recovering sparse models from sparse data. In this paper we study a variant of this problem where the original n input variables are compressed by a random linear transformation to m<1-regularized compressed regression to identify the nonzero coefficients in the true model with probability approaching one, a property called “sparsistence.” In addition, we show that ℓ1-regularized compressed regression asymptotically predicts as well as an oracle linear model, a property called “persistence.” Finally, we characterize the privacy properties of the compression procedure in information-theoretic terms, establishing upper bounds on the rate of information communicated between the compressed and uncompressed data that decay to zero.

description: In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), to achieve sufficient Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), the electrical performance of the RF coil is critical. We developed a device (microcoil) based on the original concept of monolithic resonator. This paper presents the used fabrication process based on micromoulding. The dielectric substrates are flexible thin films of polymer, which allow the microcoil to be form fitted to none-plane surface. Electrical characterizations of the RF coils are first performed and results are compared to the attempted values. Proton MRI of a saline phantom using a flexible RF coil of 15 mm in diameter is performed. When the coil is conformed to the phantom surface, a SNR gain up to 2 is achieved as compared to identical but planar RF coil. Finally, the flexible coil is used in vivo to perform MRI with high spatial resolution on a mouse using a small animal dedicated scanner operating at in a 2.35 T.

description: In recent years, especially since the sociological turn and the advent of globalization in Translation Studies, very few academic articles or book chapters on literary translation have focused on poetry as a literary form. A major shift to prose has mirrored the recent trends on the international translation market. However, in his introduction to a guest-edited issue of Translation Studies, Lawrence Venuti rightfully argued that poetry should be “moved closer to the center of Translation Studies” (2011, p. 127), as “[it] is more likely to encourage experimental strategies that can reveal what is unique about translation as a linguistic and cultural practice.” (p. 127) The present article looks at how this literary form has been exploited by a number of scholars pertaining to various schools of thought, in an attempt at demonstrating its heuristic value for the academic discourse in Translation Studies. The analysis suggests that the potentialities of poetry translation are countless, both from a discursive and from a conceptual point of view.

description: Expanding nanomagnetism and spintronics into three dimensions (3D) offers great opportunities for both fundamental and technological studies. However, probing the influence of complex 3D geometries on magnetoelectrical phenomena poses important experimental and theoretical challenges. In this work, we investigate the magnetoelectrical signals of a ferromagnetic 3D nanodevice integrated into a microelectronic circuit using direct-write nanofabrication. Due to the 3D vectorial nature of both electrical current and magnetisation, a complex superposition of several magnetoelectrical effects takes place. By performing electrical measurements under the application of 3D magnetic fields, in combination with macrospin simulations and finite element modelling, we disentangle the superimposed effects, finding how a 3D geometry leads to unusual angular dependences of well-known magnetotransport effects such as the anomalous Hall effect. Crucially, our analysis also reveals a strong role of the noncollinear demagnetising fields intrinsic to 3D nanostructures, which results in an angular dependent magnon magnetoresistance contributing strongly to the total magnetoelectrical signal. These findings are key to the understanding of 3D spintronic systems and underpin further fundamental and device-based studies.
‘Whether the Word of God is True’: Christian Zionist Discourse and the Polarization of U.S. Support for Israel
Creators: name: Mihalcheon, Erica
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: This Major Research Paper analyzes the ideology and discourse of American Christian Zionists in the post-Cold War period, to better understand the processes driving the growing partisan divide on support for Israel in the 21st century U.S. Drawing from secondary sources, I argue that the key discursive themes and rhetorical strategies of American Christian Zionists in this period have popularized a hawkish interpretation of what it means to be “pro-Israel” that is firmly associated with the American right-wing. Based on a religiously inspired worldview that frames politics in Manichean terms, Christian Zionists assert that those who put pressure on Israel to make peace with the Palestinians, or who otherwise do not unconditionally support Israel’s foreign and defence policies, are agents of Satan against God’s will. I further argue that Christian Zionist discourse has significant parallels with rhetoric increasingly found among the more “mainstream” portions of the Western far-right, particularly regarding Muslims, Jews, Israel, and conspiracy theories. While these similarities have been influenced by existing polarization in the U.S. and elsewhere on Israel and other issues, they also work to reinforce and amplify such divisions between the more “pro-Israel” right and a more critical left. If this gradual but real erosion of bipartisan support for Israel in the U.S. continues, it will have critical implications for the trajectory of the U.S.-Israeli “special relationship” and the Middle East more broadly. Keywords: Israel, U.S. foreign policy, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Christian Zionism, political polarization, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism.

description: Abstract: "We describe a method for reducing the complexity of temporal logic model checking in systems composed of many parallel processes. Thegoal is to check properties of the components of a system and then deduce globalproperties from these local properties. The main difficulty with this type of approach is that local properties are often not preserved at the global level. We present a general framework for using additional interface processes to model the environment for a component. These interface processes are typically much simpler than the full environment of the component. By composing a component with its interface processes and then checking properties of this composition, we can guarantee that these properties will be preserved at the global level. We give two example compositional systems based on the logic CTL."

description: While message passing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become increasingly popular architectures for learning with graphs, recent works have revealed important shortcomings in their expressive power. In response, several higher-order GNNs have been proposed that substantially increase the expressive power, albeit at a large computational cost. Motivated by this gap, we explore alternative strategies and lower bounds. In particular, we analyze a new recursive pooling technique of local neighborhoods that allows different tradeoffs of computational cost and expressive power. First, we prove that this model can count subgraphs of size $k$, and thereby overcomes a known limitation of low-order GNNs. Second, we show how recursive pooling can exploit sparsity to reduce the computational complexity compared to the existing higher-order GNNs. More generally, we provide a (near) matching information-theoretic lower bound for counting subgraphs with graph representations that pool over representations of derived (sub-)graphs. We also discuss lower bounds on time complexity.

description: We present a simple technique to produce active Q-switching in various types of fiber amplifiers by active integration of an electrostatic actuated deformable metallic micro-mirror. The optical MEMS (MOEMS) device acts as one of the laser cavity reflectors and, at the same time, as switching/ modulator element. We aim to obtain laser systems emitting short, high-power pulses and having variable repetition rate. The electro-mechanical behavior of membrane (bridge-type) was simulated by using electrostatic and modal 3D finite element analysis (FEA). The results of the simulations fit well with the experimental mechanical, electrical and thermal measurements of the components. In order to decrease the sensitiveness to fiber-mirror alignment we are developing novel optical devices based on stressed-metal cantilever-type geometry that allow deflections up to 50 $μ$m with increased reflectivity discrimination during actuation.

description: Austin is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States and is identified as an emerging gateway for immigrants. The single largest source country for immigrants to Austin continues to be Mexico, but immigrants from Asia are increasing in numbers and relative proportion. Immigrants from Africa doubled over the past decade and make up 4 percent of the foreign-born population. In other words, Austin’s foreign-born residents are increasingly diverse. This report serves to inform the City of Austin as it advances its immigrant incorporation efforts and focuses on five policy areas that the City of Austin can advance: 1) leadership and governance; 2) civic engagement and inclusivity; 3) economic prosperity and job growth; 4) livability; and 5) community resilience.

description: The comparison study of high pressure superconducting state of recently synthesized H$_3$S and PH$_3$ compounds are conducted within the framework of the strong-coupling theory. By generalization of the standard Eliashberg equations to include the lowest-order vertex correction, we have investigated the influence of the nonadiabatic effects on the Coulomb pseudopotential, electron effective mass, energy gap function and on the $2Δ(0)/T_C$ ratio. We found that, for a fixed value of critical temperature ($178$ K for H$_3$S and $81$ K for PH$_3$), the nonadiabatic corrections reduce the Coulomb pseudopotential for H$_3$S from $0.204$ to $0.185$ and for PH$_3$ from $0.088$ to $0.083$, however, the electron effective mass and ratio $2Δ(0)/T_C$ remain unaffected. Independently of the assumed method of analysis, the thermodynamic parameters of superconducting H$_3$S and PH$_3$ strongly deviate from the prediction of BCS theory due to the strong-coupling and retardation effects.

description: DP-coloring was introduced by Dvořák and Postle as a generalization of list coloring and signed coloring. A new coloring, strictly $f$-degenerate transversal, is a further generalization of DP-coloring and $L$-forested-coloring. In this paper, we present some structural results on planar and toroidal graphs with forbidden configurations, and establish some sufficient conditions for the existence of strictly $f$-degenerate transversal based on these structural results. Consequently, (i) every toroidal graph without subgraphs isomorphic to the configurations in Fig.2 is DP-$4$-colorable, and has list vertex arboricity at most $2$, (ii) every toroidal graph without $4$-cycles is DP-$4$-colorable, and has list vertex arboricity at most $2$, (iii) every planar graph without subgraphs isomorphic to the configurations in Fig.3 is DP-$4$-colorable, and has list vertex arboricity at most $2$. These results improve upon previous results on DP-$4$-coloring [Discrete Math. 341~(7) (2018) 1983--1986; Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc. 43~(3) (2020) 2271--2285] and (list) vertex arboricity [Discrete Math. 333 (2014) 101--105; Int. J. Math. Stat. 16~(1) (2015) 97--105; Iranian Math. Soc. 42~(5) (2016) 1293--1303].
