Zachary Harris' Publication List

Published in Some Form or Another (Beyond My Own Website), in Reverse Chronological Order

  1. Abstract and Real Matrix Structures for Hyperbolicity Cones, Ph.D. dissertation, National University of Singapore, November 2009. For those who might be interested ;), my notes collected while working on my Ph.D. research may contain headway towards further results. In particular, Section 26 presents some ideas for how a useful algebraic structure might work on the type of abstract matrices presented in the dissertation, though some modifications may be necessary to ensure non-triviality, or to avoid infinite dimensions.
  2. A POMDP Framework for Coordinated Guidance of Autonomous UAVs for Multitarget Tracking, Scott A. Miller, Zachary A. Harris, and Edwin K. P. Chong, EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, special issue on Signal Processing Advances in Robots and Autonomy, vol. 2009, Article ID 724597, 17 pages, 2009. doi:10.1155/2009/724597
  3. Coordinated guidance of autonomous UAVs via nominal belief-state optimization, Scott A. Miller, Zachary A. Harris, and Edwin K. P. Chong, in Proceedings of the 2009 American Control Conference, St. Louis, Missouri, June 10-12, 2009. (I don't have a copy of this one, but it is basically just an abbreviated, conference-proceedings version of the EURASIP paper above, so if you are interested just look at that one.)
  4. Why the Arranged Marriage System is Better, Salt Magazine.
  5. A Critique of "Security" [Against Christian missionary activity being secretive and underground], Evangelical Missions Quarterly, July 2004.
  6. Stopping Conditions for Stochastic Programming Algorithms, Master's Thesis, National University of Singapore, 2001.

Currently Submitted, Under Review, Seeking Publication, and/or Working Papers

  1. Abstract Generalized Lax Conjecture and the Newton-Girard Identities (this article is an edited version of a large portion of my Ph.D. dissertation).
  2. Third Order Cones and Self-Concordance (this article is an edited version of the remainder of my Ph.D. dissertation).
  3. Do Primal-Dual Interior Point Methods Work for General Convex Conic Programs? with Zhao Gong Yun.
  4. Book: Jesus is Not Like Buddha: An Introduction to Christianity for China, published online and seeking a suitable publisher (for Chinese version and possibly English as well) in China.
  5. Well Pleased in The Son of God (why "Son of God" is a glorious title and thus why it is wrong to purge this expression from Bible translations for Muslim people groups).
