Interactive Data Comments on Regulatory Notice 14-52

Interactive Data appreciates the opportunity to comment on the coordinated rule proposals FINRA 14-52 and MSRB 2014-20, concerning the disclosure of pricing information on retail fixed income transactions published November 17, 2014. We support the overarching goal of increased transparency for fixed income investors and the commitment of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and ...

Depth Exam: Observations and Comments

Beyond the standard IAU framework

We discuss three conceivable scenarios of extension and/or modification of the IAU relativistic resolutions on time scales and spatial coordinates beyond the Standard IAU Framework. These scenarios include: (1) the formalism of the monopole and dipole moment transformations of the metric tensor replacing the scale transformations of time and space coordinates; (2) implementing the parameterized...

IAU XXIX General Assembly

Body Solar system bodies are observed at many scattering angles. The reflection and polarization change withphase angle of light scattered from particulates has been studied for a century in the lab in efforts tounderstand clouds, aerosols, planetary ring systems and planetary regoliths. These effects must beunderstood in order to infer surface properties from astronomical data. The...

Comments on relaxed $(gamma, r)$-cocoercive mappings

We show that the variational inequality $VI(C,A)$ has aunique solution for a relaxed $(gamma , r)$-cocoercive,$mu$-Lipschitzian mapping $A: Cto H$ with $r>gamma mu^2$, where$C$ is a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space $H$. Fromthis result, it can be derived that, for example, the recentalgorithms given in the references of this paper, despite theirbecoming more complicated, are not...
