Zhedanov’s algebra AW (3) is considered with explicit structure constants such that, in the basic representation, the first generator becomes the second order q-difference operator for the Askey–Wilson polynomials. It is proved that this representation is faithful for a certain quotient of AW (3) such that the Casimir operator is equal to a special constant. Some explicit aspects of the double ...

We describe a prediction method called “Attractivity Weighting” (AW). In the case of cue-based paired comparison tasks, AW predicts a weighted average of the cue values of the most successful cues. In many situations, AW’s prediction is based on the cue value of the most successful cue, resulting in behavior similar to Take-the-Best (TTB). Unlike TTB, AW has a desirable characteristic called “a...

Technology should be accessible and inclusive, so designers learn to consider the needs of different users. Toward this end, we created theoretically-grounded CIDER assumption elicitation technique, an educational analytical design evaluation method teach inclusive skills. ( Critique , Imagine Design Expand Repeat ) helps recognize respond bias using critical lens assumptions about users . Thro...

We present a new approach to the compression technique of Lyubashevsky et al. [18, 14] for lattice-based signatures based on learning with errors (LWE). Our ideas seem to be particularly suitable for signature schemes whose security, in the random oracle model, is based on standard worst-case computational assumptions. Our signatures are shorter than any previous proposal for provably-secure si...

This study analyzes the price patterns, trading volumes, and arbitrage opportunities of listed subscription warrants using 70 detachable public bonds with warrant issuances. The major findings this are as follows. First, prices at listing date are, on average, 69.3% adjusted Black-Scholes (BS) prices. Second, increased after listing, cumulative return for 100 days is 28.45%～46.75%, depending as...
