Critical-Span Retention and Query-Unknown Discovery for Long-Context KV Compression
Long-context inference is limited by KV-cache memory. This preprint investigates which token spans must be retained for retrieval-critical tasks and whether online compression fails because of insufficient cache capacity or weak query-unknown discovery. Controlled multi-seed expe...

A Target-Feasibility Branch-and-Prune Algorithm for Nonconvex Constrained Optimization
We present a branch-and-prune algorithm for nonconvex constrained optimization in which each box is treated as a target-level feasibility problem and solved through an extended Lagrangian saddle-point formulation. The current incumbent objective value $U$ is incorporated directly...
