Differentiable Variable Fonts

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Typography is an essential component of visual communication. Editing and animating text appearance for graphic designs, title sequences, commercials, and logos remain highly skilled tasks requiring detailed, hands‐on efforts from pro artists. Automating these challenging manual workflows requires balancing the competing goals of maintaining a

Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

Financial Fragility and the Fiscal Multiplier

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We show that undercapitalized banks with large holdings of government bonds subject to sovereign default risk lead to a new crowding‐out channel: deficit‐financed fiscal stimuli lead to higher bond yields, triggering capital losses for the banks. Banks then cut back loans, which reduces fiscal multipliers.

Improved New Two-Spectral Conjugate Gradient Iterative Technique for Large Scale Optimization

Mağallaẗ Al-kūfaẗ Al-handasiyyaẗ
Numerous strategies have been proposed in the field of unconstrained optimization to address various optimization challenges, particularly those associated with large-scale systems. Among the classical methods, Newton and Quasi-Newton approaches are well-

Parallel projected variable metric algorithms for unconstrained optimization [PDF]

The parallel variable metric optimization algorithms of Straeter (1973) and van Laarhoven (1985) are reviewed, and the possible drawbacks of the algorithms are noted.

Optimal Simple Ratings

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study optimal simple rating systems that partition sellers into a finite number of tiers. We show that optimal ratings must be threshold partitions, and that for linear supply and Cournot competition with constant marginal cost, optimal thresholds solve a k‐means clustering problem requiring only the quality distribution.

The Great Temporal Divide: How Top Management Team Temporal Faultlines and Dominant Subgroups Shape Firm Innovativeness in Iran

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract While executives vary in attention to the past, present, and future, prior work has largely examined these temporal orientations in isolation or at the individual level, which limits insight into how they jointly configure within top management teams (TMTs) and translate into firm behaviours.

An encoding of argumentation problems using quadratic unconstrained binary optimization

Quantum Machine Intelligence
In this paper, we develop a way to encode several NP-Complete problems in Abstract Argumentation to Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems. In this form, a solution for a QUBO problem involves minimizing a quadratic function over binary variables (0/1), where the coefficients can be represented by a symmetric square matrix (or an ...

Welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces an empirical framework to evaluate the welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing by modeling the complete pricing process, including demand and price optimization. Moving beyond traditional cost modeling, we analyze both discrimination‐related fairness criteria and broader regulatory constraints, such

Predictor/estimator computations under a constrained multivariate linear model and some related reduced models

Miskolc Mathematical Notes
This study deals with basic prediction/estimation issues involving a constrained multivariate linear model (CMLM) and some related reduced models. By reparameterizing these models, the authors create unconstrained multivariate linear models (UMLMs ...
