A fuzzy approach to option pricing in a Levy process setting

Piotr Nowak, Maciej Romaniuk (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper the problem of European option valuation in a Levy process setting is analysed. In our model the underlying asset follows a geometric Levy process. The jump part of the log-price process, which is a linear combination of Poisson processes, describes upward and downward jumps in price. The proposed pricing method is based on stochastic analysis and the theory of fuzzy sets. We assume that some parameters of the financial instrument cannot be precisely described and therefore they are...

A game-theoretical model of competition for staff between two departments

A. Y. Garnaev (2006)

Banach Center Publications

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze a development of a scenario suggested by Baston and Garnaev (2005) for modelling the situation where two departments in a large organization are each seeking to make an appointment within the same area of expertise, for instance, a computer science specialist. The departments are interested in three skills of the candidate (say, writing code, communication and in algorithms). In our scenario Department 1 wants to employ a candidate with excellent skills...

A Gaussian bound for convolutions of functions on locally compact groups

Nick Dungey (2006)

Studia Mathematica

We give new and general sufficient conditions for a Gaussian upper bound on the convolutions K m + n K m + n - 1 K m + 1 of a suitable sequence K₁, K₂, K₃, ... of complex-valued functions on a unimodular, compactly generated locally compact group. As applications, we obtain Gaussian bounds for convolutions of suitable probability densities, and for convolutions of small perturbations of densities.

A Gauss-Kuzmin theorem for the Rosen fractions

Gabriela I. Sebe (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Using the natural extensions for the Rosen maps, we give an infinite-order-chain representation of the sequence of the incomplete quotients of the Rosen fractions. Together with the ergodic behaviour of a certain homogeneous random system with complete connections, this allows us to solve a variant of Gauss-Kuzmin problem for the above fraction expansion.
