Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore recent advances in artificial intelligence and computational methods applied to corporate finance, risk management, and portfolio optimization. We welcome original research and review papers focusing on both theoretical innovations and real-world applications that bridge finance, mathematics, and computer science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: entropy measures for risk assessment and portfolio selection, fuzzy logic in financial regulation, hybrid models combining AI and statistical methods, and optimization strategies that account for regulatory constraints or incomplete information. Interdisciplinary contributions that link these methods with current regulatory challenges, corporate governance, or emerging financial technologies are particularly encouraged. By fostering dialogue across disciplines, we hope to stimulate a broader understanding of how advanced computational methods can support more transparent, accountable, and resilient financial systems. The Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for both academic and industry researchers to present findings that can shape the future of financial decision making under uncertainty.
