We update our approximate parametrizations of the three-loop splitting functions for the evolution of unpolarized parton densities in perturbative QCD. The new information taken into account is given by the additional Mellin moments recently calculated by Retey and Vermaseren. The inclusion of these constraints reduces the uncertainties of our approximations considerably and extends their region of applicability by about one order of magnitude to lower momentum fractions x .

Entanglement entropy, Monte Carlo event generators, and soft gluons DIScovery
Including soft gluons in Monte Carlo generators for DIS aligns parton distributions with inclusive PDFs and makes entropy grow with decreasing x, indicating initial-state origin of the bulk entropy.
