arXiv:2608. 02778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a novel application of Neural Networks with Local Converging Inputs (NNLCI) to improve the efficiency of existing numerical methods for pricing multi-asset options.
The paper introduces asymptotically-informed neural‑network architectures for computing Black‑Scholes implied volatility. By learning a trainable partition of the price‑log‑moneyness domain and combining specialised local approximations, the models outperform standard feed‑forward networks across a wide range of parameters. The neural‑network outputs also serve as highly accurate initial guesses for a third‑order Householder scheme, enabling near machine‑precision results after only two refinement iterations.

arXiv:2608. 20271v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid proliferation of memecoins on blockchain platforms has increased the risk of fraudulent activities, particularly rug pulls.
arXiv:2608. 11255v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate prediction of vapor--liquid equilibrium (VLE) for hydrocarbon-nitrogen mixtures remains challenging for cubic equations of state, particularly across broad ranges of composition and hydrocarbon chain length.
The paper presents a method for early detection of fraudulent memecoins (rug pulls) on the Solana blockchain, using a dataset of 6.4 million tokens collected over seven months. It shows that most rug pulls occur within an hour of launch and that classic machine learning models, especially Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), can reliably predict them using only the first five minutes of trading data. Cross‑platform data fusion between PumpFun and Raydium further improves detection by reducing domain shift.
