The aim of the present paper is to construct and investigate a Finsler structure within the framework of a Generalized Absolute Parallelism space (GAP-space). The Finsler structure is obtained from the vector fields forming the parallelization of the GAP-space. The resulting space, which we refer to as a Finslerized Pa…

While noise is commonly considered a nuisance in computing systems, a number of studies in neuroscience have shown several benefits of noise in the nervous system from enabling the brain to carry out computations such as probabilistic inference as well as carrying additional information about the stimuli. Similarly, no…

The study finds that firm membership in flagship indices and TCFD endorsement are strong predictors of a wider Disclosure-Performance Gap.

problem The Aggregate Confusion hypothesis and the measurement of greenwashing in environmental disclosures.
method The study uses a Disclosure-Performance Gap (DPG) model to measure the divergence between voluntary environmental disclosures and realised emissions performance for 200 large European firms. The model selection process involved multiple stages and robust standard errors.
result Firm membership in flagship indices and TCFD endorsement are strong predictors of a wider gap, while renewable energy use and environmental capital expenditure significantly narrow the gap.

problem Combinatorial optimization problems
method Unified framework of Markov decision processes (MDPs) and value-based reinforcement learning (RL) techniques
result RL techniques converge to approximate solutions with a guarantee on optimality gap

Deep learning methods improve time series forecasting by optimizing lag selection.

problem Optimizing the number of lags for accurate univariate time series forecasting.
method Empirical analysis of deep learning methods trained on multiple time series datasets.
result Excessively small or large lag sizes negatively impact forecasting performance.

Study shows physical drift affects put-call parity enforcement, not just option payoffs.

problem Inconsistency between quoted put-call parity and actual market behavior.
method Examined SPX and RUT index options, used drift-preserving GBM term to improve fit.
result Physical drift enters the enforcement of risk-neutral parity, not just option payoffs.

Study tests how U.S. equity prices align with global asset frequencies using financial variables.

problem Testing whether U.S. equity prices align with global asset frequencies using financial variables.
method Examines SPX and RUT gaps, uses OIS-based funding, volatility, trading-friction, financial-condition variables, and residual information.
result Gains in fit survive broad-dollar neutralization, alternative blocks, PCA, residualization, and nested horizon selection, supporting reduced-form P-Q alignment.

Small Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) face many obstacles when they try to access credit market. These obstacles are increased if the SMEs are innovative. In this case, financial data are insufficient or even not reliable. Thus, when building a judgemental rating model, mainly based on qualitative criteria (soft inform…

problem Characterizing metrics on manifolds and their embeddings into spheres.
method Identifies metrics on manifolds and their embeddings into spheres, characterizes metrics of constant scalar curvature, and uses Yamabe metrics and almost Hermitian structures.
result Characterizes metrics of constant scalar curvature by properties of extrinsic quantities of their embeddings.

result Transformers can effectively capture context by clustering meaningless words around leader words.

We derive general Novikov-Morse type inequalities in a Conley type framework for flows carrying cocycles, therefore generalizing our results in [FJ2] derived for integral cocycle. The condition of carrying a cocycle expresses the nontriviality of integrals of that cocycle on flow lines. Gradient-like flows are distingu…

A contamination in a 3-manifold is an object interpolating between the contact structure and the lamination. Contaminations seem to provide a link between 3-dimensional contact geometry and the classical topology of 3-manifolds, as described in a separate paper. In this paper we deal with contaminations carried by bran…

The modelling of data on a spherical surface requires the consideration of directional probability distributions. To model asymmetrically distributed data on a three-dimensional sphere, Kent distributions are often used. The moment estimates of the parameters are typically used in modelling tasks involving Kent distrib…
