Asymptotics of riskless profit under selling of discrete time call options

A. V. Nagaev, S. A. Nagaev (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

A discrete time model of financial market is considered. In the focus of attention is the guaranteed profit of the investor which arises when the jumps of the stock price are bounded. The limit distribution of the profit as the model becomes closer to the classic model of geometrical Brownian motion is established. It is of interest that the approximating continuous time model does not assume any such profit.

Averages of unitary representations and weak mixing of random walks

Michael Lin, Rainer Wittmann (1995)

Studia Mathematica

Let S be a locally compact (σ-compact) group or semigroup, and let T(t) be a continuous representation of S by contractions in a Banach space X. For a regular probability μ on S, we study the convergence of the powers of the μ-average Ux = ʃ T(t)xdμ(t). Our main results for random walks on a group G are: (i) The following are equivalent for an adapted regular probability on G: μ is strictly aperiodic; U n converges weakly for every continuous unitary representation of G; U is weakly mixing for any...

Block distribution in random strings

Peter J. Grabner (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

For almost all infinite binary sequences of Bernoulli trials ( p , q ) the frequency of blocks of length k ( N ) in the first N terms tends asymptotically to the probability of the blocks, if k ( N ) increases like log 1 p N - log 1 p N - ψ ( N ) (for p q ) where ψ ( N ) tends to + . This generalizes a result due to P. Flajolet, P. Kirschenhofer and R.F. Tichy concerning the case p = q = 1 2 .

Branching random walks on binary search trees: convergence of the occupation measure

Eric Fekete (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider branching random walks with binary search trees as underlying trees. We show that the occupation measure of the branching random walk, up to some scaling factors, converges weakly to a deterministic measure. The limit depends on the stable law whose domain of attraction contains the law of the increments. The existence of such stable law is our fundamental hypothesis. As a consequence, using a one-to-one correspondence between binary trees and plane trees, we give a description of the...

Brownian motion and random walks on manifolds

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We develop a procedure that allows us to “descretise” the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold. We construct thus a random walk that is a good approximation of the Brownian motion.

Brownian motion and transient groups

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper I consider M ˜ M a covering of a Riemannian manifold M . I prove that Green’s function exists on M ˜ if any and only if the symmetric translation invariant random walks on the covering group G are transient (under the assumption that M is compact).

Central limit theorem for Hölder processes on m -unit cube

Jana Klicnarová (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider a sequence of stochastic processes ( X n ( 𝐭 ) , 𝐭 [ 0 , 1 ] m ) with continuous trajectories and we show conditions for the tightness of the sequence in the Hölder space with a parameter γ .
