Combinatorial and Hodge Laplacians : Similarities and Differences

As key subjects in spectral geometry and combinatorial graph theory, respectively, the (continuous) Hodge Laplacian and the combinatorial Laplacian share similarities in revealing the topological d…

Sequential Selection for Minimizing the Variance with Application to Crystall…

For many crystal-based products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, energy storage), the size uniformity is not only a key quality attribute, but sometimes also an indicator of other attributes such as solid p…

Taxes in Non-GAAP Reporting : Evidence of Strategic Behavior in Selecting Tax…

When reporting after-tax non–generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) earnings, firms are required to adjust for the tax effects of exclusions. Since 2010, the Securities and Exchange Comm…
