• On Prats’ problem with anomalous diffusion (2026) · Journal of Fluid Mechanics · doi

  The gap is the lack of understanding of anomalous diffusion effects on the Prats' problem. The gap is the lack of a model that comprehends superdiffusion or subdiffusion in horizontal porous channel flow.

• Évolution chronogéométrique des univers (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  The gap is the lack of a coherent theory of the chronogeometric evolution of universes. The gap is also the lack of a complete mathematical formulation of the theory.

• The Entropy-Deficit Identity in the Accelerated Collatz Word Model: First-Moment Closure, Occupation-Tail Rates, the Geometric Codimension, and the Constant 0.0793186127… (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  The gap in prior work was the lack of a unified understanding of separate barrier calculations. The gap in prior work was the lack of a proof of the entropy-deficit identity.

• Kant on empirical concepts (1979) · Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A · cited 3× · doi

  The gap is the lack of a clear explanation of how empirical concepts are formed and what standards are used to evaluate them. Prior work has not fully addressed this issue.

• On order statistics for random sample size (1972) · Statistica Neerlandica · cited 37× · doi

  The gap is that very little is known when the sample size is a random variable. The gap is that the distribution of the order statistics is not known when the sample size has a binomial or negative binomial distribution.

• Intuitive statistical inferences about diffuse hypotheses (1968) · Organizational Behavior and Human Performance · cited 20× · doi

  The gap is that previous experiments have not studied how people make intuitive statistical inferences about diffuse hypotheses. The gap is that the process of establishing P(DIH) for each diffuse hypothesis was not well understood.
