[more ▼] This paper analyzes within a simple model how a removal of bank secrecy can impact tax revenues and banks'profitability, assuming that offshore centers are able to offer sophisticated but legal, tax planning. Two alternative regimes are considered. A first, in which there is strict bank secrecy and a second, where there is international information exchange for tax purposes. In particular, we show that sharing tax information with onshore countries can be a dominant strategy for an OFC if there is enough scope for providing tax planning. Moreover, a partial reduction of tax liabilities can already prompt OFCs to voluntarily exchange relevant tax information. We also discuss the conditions under which the possible removal of bank secrecy may reduce or increase the onshore country's tax revenue.

[more ▼] In this study, we empirically investigate and evaluate various approaches to structurally assess credit risk using a panel of European banking groups. We consider not only the standard approaches in the literature, but also include models that allow the asset volatility to be stochastic and models that allow for short- and long-term components of default risk. Models are evaluated by comparing their ability to correctly and timely identify changes in risk indicators. Surprisingly, we find that the GARCH structural credit risk model, despite its more sophisticated modeling approach, typically underperforms more basic models. Importantly for macro-prudential policy, the combined Merton/GARCH-MIDAS model performs best and reflects important market events earlier than the other approaches.

However, there are still many elementary open questions, like finding specific vectors or particular bases of a given lattice. Our study consists in exhibiting which integer vectors may be chosen as basis vectors of a chosen lattice. The compelling part of our development is that this condition is obtained through an unusual application of Dirichlet's Theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions and that it has a surprising consequence for vectors achieving the successive minima.

[more ▼] The extended finite element method (XFEM) was introduced in 1999 to treat problems involving discontinuities with no or minimal remeshing through appropriate enrichment functions. This enables elements to be split by a discontinuity, strong or weak and hence requires the integration of discontinuous functions or functions with discontinuous derivatives over elementary volumes. Moreover, in the case of open surfaces and singularities, special, usually non-polynomial functions must also be integrated.A variety of approaches have been proposed to facilitate these special types of numerical integration, which have been shown to have a large impact on the accuracy and convergence of the numerical solution. The smoothed extended finite element method (SmXFEM) [1], for example, makes numerical integration elegant and simple by transforming volume integrals into surface integrals. However, it was reported in [1, 2] that the strain smoothing is inaccurate when non-polynomial functions are in the basis. This is due to the constant smoothing function used over the smoothing domains which destroys the effect of the singularity. In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a recently developed Linear smoothing procedure [3] which provides better approximation to higher order polynomial fields in the basis. Some benchmark problems in the context of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) are solved to compare the standard XFEM, the constant-smoothed XFEM (Sm-XFEM) and the linear-smoothed XFEM (LSm-XFEM). We observe that the convergence rates of all three methods are the same. The stress intensity factors (SIFs) computed through the proposed LSm-XFEM are however more accurate than that obtained through Sm-XFEM. To conclude, compared to the conventional XFEM, the same order of accuracy is achieved at a relatively low computational effort.

Without relying on (GRH) we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes \p of K such that the order of (G mod \p) is divisible by a fixed integer. We also provide a rational expression for the natural density of this set. Furthermore, we study the primes \p for which the order is k-free, and those for which the order has a prescribed \ell-adic valuation for finitely many primes \ell. An additional condition on the Frobenius conjugacy class of \p may be considered. In order to establish these results, we prove an unconditional version of the Chebotarev density theorem for Kummer extensions of number fields.

[more ▼] Young people not participating in education, employment or training (NEET) are a key policy concern in Europe. We examine whether hope, as a form of life course agency, plays a protective role against the risk of being NEET in the context of the British welfare state. Hope is conceptualised as multidimensional: being a temporally embedded, agentic mentality comprised of one’s sense of adaptive decision-making in the present and pathways thinking towards the future. Longitudinal estimations based on the latest Understanding Society microdata (2009-2018) indicate a direct association between higher-hope modes, on average, and a lower likelihood of being NEET. Further, our study assesses whether hopeful agency is moderated by the experience of parental worklessness. Findings indicate that while hope is not more important for those who experienced disadvantages in upbringing, hopeful agency is shown to be equally important in the face of past and present NEET risks. For the UK, building young peoples’ adaptive, agentic mentality towards their future in education or employment over the long-term, may prove one cost-effective policy approach.

[more ▼] Integral binary quadratic forms have been extensively studied in order to compute the class number of real and complex quadratic fields. Many studies restricted the equivalence class of quadratic forms or identified specific forms in order to compute the class number through enumeration of equivalence classes. One often used assumption is that a given form and its negative are equivalent or are synthetically identified. This document presents a concise Lagrangian approach to integral binary quadratic forms, outlines the equivalence classes in its broadest sense and uses it to develop a general condition when a given integral binary quadratic form and its negative are equivalent. Then, the existence of integral binary quadratic forms which are non-equivalent to their negatives is proven and an elementary algorithm to determine the (non-)equivalence of a given form and its negative is outlined.

[more ▼] Let \ell be any fixed prime number. We define the \ell-Genocchi numbers by G_n:=\ell(1-\ell^n)B_n, with B_n the n-th Bernoulli number. They are integers. We introduce and study a variant of Kummer's notion of regularity of primes. We say that an odd prime p is \ell-Genocchi irregular if it divides at least one of the \ell-Genocchi numbers G_2,G_4,..., G_{p-3}, and \ell-regular otherwise. With the help of techniques used in the study of Artin's primitive root conjecture, we give asymptotic estimates for the number of \ell-Genocchi irregular primes in a prescribed arithmetic progression in case \ell is odd. The case \ell=2 was already dealt with by Hu, Kim, Moree and Sha (2019). Using similar methods we study the prime factors of (1-\ell^n)B_{2n}/2n and (1+\ell^n)B_{2n}/2n. This allows us to estimate the number of primes p\leq x for which there exist modulo p Ramanujan-style congruences between the Fourier coefficients of an Eisenstein series and some cusp form of prime level \ell.

[more ▼] In this work, we explore the notion of deniability in public-key authenticated quantum key exchange (QKE), which allows two parties to establish a shared secret key without leaving any evidence that would bind a session to either party. The deniability property is expressed in terms of being able to simulate the transcripts of a protocol. The ability to deny a message or an action has applications ranging from secure messaging to secure e-voting and whistle-blowing. While quite well-established in classical cryptography, it remains largely unexplored in the quantum setting. Here, we first present a natural extension of classical definitions in the simulation paradigm to the setting of quantum computation and formalize the requirements for a deniable QKE scheme. We then prove that the BB84 variant of QKE, when authenticated using a strong designated verifier signature scheme, satisfies deniability and, finally, propose a concrete instantiation.

[more ▼] This paper presents an approach to generalize the concept of isogeometric analysis (IGA) by allowing different spaces for parameterization of the computational domain and for approximation of the solution field. The method inherits the main advantage of isogeometric analysis, i.e. preserves the original, exact CAD geometry (for example, given by NURBS), but allows pairing it with an approximation space which is more suitable/flexible for analysis, for example, T-splines, LR-splines, (truncated) hierarchical B-splines, and PHT-splines. This generalization offers the advantage of adaptive local refinement without the need to re-parameterize the domain, and therefore without weakening the link with the CAD model. We demonstrate the use of the method with different choices of the geometry and field splines, and show that, despite the failure of the standard patch test, the optimum convergence rate is achieved for non-nested spaces.

[more ▼] The Linear Smoothing (LS) scheme \cite{francisa.ortiz-bernardin2017} ameliorates linear and quadratic approximations over convex polytopes by employing a three-point integration scheme. In this work, we propose a linearly consistent one point integration scheme which possesses the properties of the LS scheme with three integration points but requires one third of the integration computational time. The essence of the proposed technique is to approximate the strain by the smoothed nodal derivatives that are determined by the discrete form of the divergence theorem. This is done by the Taylor's expansion of the weak form which facilitates the evaluation of the smoothed nodal derivatives acting as stabilization terms. The smoothed nodal derivatives are evaluated only at the centroid of each integration cell. These integration cells are the simplex subcells (triangle/tetrahedron in two and three dimensions) obtained by subdividing the polytope. The salient feature of the proposed technique is that it requires only $n$ integrations for an $n-$ sided polytope as opposed to $3n$ in~\cite{francisa.ortiz-bernardin2017} and $13n$ integration points in the conventional approach. The convergence properties, the accuracy, and the efficacy of the LS with one point integration scheme are discussed by solving few benchmark problems in elastostatics.

[more ▼] It was observed in [1, 2] that the strain smoothing technique over higher order elements and arbitrary polytopes yields less accurate solutions than other techniques such as the conventional polygonal finite element method. In this work, we propose a linear strain smoothing scheme that improves the accuracy of linear and quadratic approximations over convex polytopes. The main idea is to subdivide the polytope into simplicial subcells and use a linear smoothing function in each subcell to compute the strain. This new strain is then used in the computation of the stiffness matrix. The convergence properties and accuracy of the proposed scheme are discussed by solving few benchmark problems. Numerical results show that the proposed linear strain smoothing scheme makes the approximation based on polytopes to deliver improved accuracy and pass the patch test to machine precision.
