I'm not sure whose voting up such a technical paper. I could understand if the subject was control theory or robotics, but economics with engineering-level math seems out of most of our purviews.
I'm not complaining - I'm happy to see more math on HN. I'm just wondering about HN's demographics.
- skolos 8y agoEspecially since the result is not new (it was written in 2004). Even though the topic is within my interests I'm confused that this is on the front page of HN.
- yold__ 8y agoI guess it's interesting to see an alternative to Black Scholes. Fourier transform (FFT) is a common topic in advanced algos.
- osrec 8y agoThere are a lot of engineers here who would have ended up in finance (possibly as quants), myself included. This sort of thing is right up our street.
- pas 8y agoFolks interested in this, but finding it too long, so waiting for someone to summarize/explain maybe :)
