Owing to asymptotic freedom at short distances, high-energy physical observables can be predicted using perturbative QCD (pQCD) following proper factorization. It has been demonstrated that the conventional renormalization scheme-and-scale ambiguities that appear in fixed-order pQCD series can be eliminated by recursively applying the renormalization group equation, aided by the principle of maximum conformality (PMC). To extend the predictive power of pQCD, we still face the challenge of reliably estimating contributions from unknown higher-order (UHO) terms. In this paper, we propose a novel method for estimating one-order higher QCD corrections to the perturbative series: using linear regression through the origin (LRTO) to determine the asymptotic form of the pQCD series below the optimal truncation order <span>(N^*)</span>. When the given <span>(alpha _s)</span>-order is below <span>(N^*)</span>, its perturbative behavior will be dominated by the usual <span>(alpha _s)</span>-power suppression and the sub-leading corrections are treated as a source of theoretical uncertainty. This approach enables a quantitative assessment of the series convergence and derives estimate for unknown higher-order contributions. To illustrate this method, we apply it to the important ratio <span>(R_tau )</span> which has been calculated up to four-loop QCD corrections. Our results show that the LRTO method yields reliable estimates of the UHO terms, demonstrating its own reliability and significant predictive power for such estimations.

Within this setting, we derive explicit expressions for the vector and tensorial currents and show that the resulting structure naturally contains a spin-orbit interaction analogous to the Rashba effect. In the non-relativistic limit, the gradient of the topological function plays the role of an effective background field responsible for spin splitting, without the introduction of external electromagnetic interactions. We further analyze the corresponding energy–momentum tensor and demonstrate that the modified dynamics leads to a nontrivial conservation law, which can be interpreted as an effective exchange between the fermionic sector and the topological background.

In this context, the analysis emphasizes the detailed dynamics of infalling matter, the determination of sonic points, and the response of different test fluids under varying conditions. The background spacetime is described by a charged dilatonic BH solution, and the conservation laws for particle flux and energy-momentum are explicitly formulated to allow treatment as a dynamical system. By recasting the accretion equations into an autonomous system, the critical conditions corresponding to sonic transitions are systematically identified and analyzed. Also, many fluid models are considered, including isothermal, barotropic, and polytropic fluids, covering regimes from ultra-stiff to sub-relativistic. Each fluid model produces distinct modifications to the Hamiltonian trajectories and radial velocity profiles, thereby influencing the overall accretion pattern. The parameters of massive gravity, particularly <span>(c_1)</span> and <span>(c_2)</span>, shape the horizon structure, determine the positions of critical points, and potentially affect the formation and stability of accretion disks. The mass accretion rate, expressed in terms of metric function, fluid energy density, and radial inflow velocity, shows a decreasing trend with increasing <span>(c_1)</span> and <span>(c_2)</span>, which implies a reduction in accretion efficiency. Additionally, the radiative properties of thin disks, including emitted flux, disk temperature, radiative efficiency, and luminosity, are suppressed for higher values of these parameters. In this case, the results illustrate that massive gravity not only modifies the behavior of matter inflow but also substantially diminishes the radiative output, offering potentially observable differences that can distinguish charged scalar BHs in massive gravity from their counterparts in standard general relativity (GR).
