Ensuring scalable input-to-state stability (sISS) is critical for the safety and reliability of large-scale interconnected systems, especially in the presence of communication delays. While learning-based controllers can achieve strong empirical performance, their black-box nature makes it difficult to provide formal and scalable stability guarantees. To address this gap, we propose a framework to synthesize and verify neural vector Lyapunov-Razumikhin certificates for discrete-time delayed interconnected systems. Our contributions are three-fold. First, we establish a sufficient condition for discrete-time sISS via vector Lyapunov-Razumikhin functions, which enables certification for large-scale delayed interconnected systems. Second, we develop a scalable synthesis and verification framework that learns the neural certificates and verifies the certificates on reachability-constrained delay domains with scalability analysis. Third, we validate our approach on mixed-autonomy platoons, drone formations, and microgrids against multiple baselines, showing improved verification efficiency with competitive control performance.

Structure-based drug design (SBDD), aiming to generate 3D molecules with high binding affinity toward target proteins, is a vital approach in novel drug discovery. Although recent generative models have shown great potential, they suffer from unstable probability dynamics and mismatch between generated molecule size and the protein pockets geometry, resulting in inconsistent quality and off-target effects. We propose PAFlow, a novel target-aware molecular generation model featuring prior interaction guidance and a learnable atom number predictor. PAFlow adopts the efficient flow matching framework to model the generation process and constructs a new form of conditional flow matching for discrete atom types. A protein-ligand interaction predictor is incorporated to guide the vector field toward higher-affinity regions during generation, while an atom number predictor based on protein pocket information is designed to better align generated molecule size with target geometry. Extensive experiments on the CrossDocked2020 benchmark show that PAFlow achieves a new state-of-the-art in binding affinity (up to -8.31 Avg. Vina Score), simultaneously maintains favorable molecular properties.
