Lei Liu completed her Master’s degree with the project title Complexity of Options in 2017.
An extension to monotone options (pictured) was presented at ALH-2018. The new paper is called The number of languages with maximum state complexity and has been accepted for TAMC 2019.
As of 2022, the paper has been through 7 revisions and has been accepted for publication in the journal Algebra Universalis.
After Jake Fennick’s MA project in the proof assistant Isabelle in 2019, I have advised two Master’s students whose project focused on another popular proof assistant, Lean:
Hugh Chou, 2021: Formalizing my paper on a conflict in the Carmo and Jones approach to contrary-to-duty deontic obligations.
Ryan T. Sasaki, 2022: Formalizing a time-invariance theorem for Redington immunization in financial mathematics.
I gave a talk in the online seminar “Computability Theory and Applications” on November 17, 2020, on
Normalized Information Distance and Jaccard distance.
The paper, with Niraula and Yoon, was published in Logical Foundations of Computer Science 2022.
I learned that research in the Theory Track of the accounting discipline primarily is about mathematical modeling of the effects of government policies and business decisions. It borrows methods from economics for such modeling. In the case of the Corona-Kim paper: quadratic programming without constraints, and exponential utility functions. Usually these are not empirical papers, i.e., they don’t test the model explicitly against data. Indeed this would be hard to do with notions like “intensity of scrutiny”.
I am a discussant for “A theory of principles-based classification” by Konvalinka, Penno, and Stecher, at HARC 2021.
