Many local optimal solution methods have been developed for solving generalized geometric programming (GGP). But up to now, less work has been devoted to solving global optimization of (GGP) problem due to the inherent difficulty. This paper considers the global minimum of (GGP) problems. By...

This paper aims to investigate whether Chinese internal control regulation improves reporting quality. After the enactment of US Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), China introduced a quasi-SOX practice (C-SOX). C-SOX stipulates that firms should disclose both management and audit reports on internal...

The board of directors is the cornerstone of any effective corporate governance system. A well-structured board can effectively monitor and motivate management of a company for the benefit of the company's shareholders. This paper investigates the relationship between board structure and firm...

In this paper, we propose a second order interior point algorithm for symmetric cone programming using a wide neighborhood of the central path. The convergence is shown for commutative class of search directions. The complexity bound is $${O(r^{3/2}\,\log\epsilon^{-1})}$$ for the NT methods, and...
