The stock market plays a crucial role in the financial system, with its price movements reflecting macroeconomic trends. Due to the influence of multifaceted factors such as policy shifts and corporate performance, stock prices exhibit nonlinearity, high noise, and non-stationarity, making them difficult to model accurately using a single approach. To enhance forecasting accuracy, this study proposes a hybrid forecasting framework that integrates wavelet denoising, multi-head attention-based BiLSTM, ARIMA, and XGBoost. Wavelet transform is first employed to enhance data quality. The multi-head attention BiLSTM captures nonlinear temporal dependencies, ARIMA models linear trends in residuals, and XGBoost improves the recognition of complex patterns. The final prediction is obtained by combining the outputs of all models through an inverse-error weighted ensemble strategy. Using the CSI 300 Index as an empirical case, we construct a multidimensional feature set including both market and technical indicators. Experimental results show that the proposed model clearly outperforms individual models in terms of RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and R2. Ablation studies confirm the importance of each module in performance enhancement. The model also performs well on individual stock data (e.g., Fuyao Glass), demonstrating promising generalization ability. This research provides an effective solution for improving stock price forecasting accuracy and offers valuable insights for investment decision-making and market regulation. Full article

This paper presents some theoretical results on the sphere coverage problem in the n-dimensional space. These results refer to the minimal number of spheres, denoted by Nk(a), to cover a cuboid. The first properties outline some theoretical results for the numbers Nk(a), including sub-additivity and monotony on each variable. We use then these results to establish some lower and upper bounds for Nk(a), as well as for the minimal density of spheres to achieve k-coverage. Finally, a computation is proposed to approximate the Nk(a) numbers, and some tables are produced to show them for 2D and 3D cuboids. Full article
