Optimal stopping of a sequence of maxima over an unobservable sequence of maxima
Optimal streams of premiums in multiperiod credibility models
Optimal arrangement of a stream of insurance premiums for a multiperiod insurance policy is considered. In order to satisfy solvency requirements we assume that a weak Axiom of Solvency is satisfied. Then two optimization problems are solved: finding a stream of net premiums that approximates optimally 1) future claims, or 2) "anticipating premiums". It is shown that the resulting optimal streams of premiums enable differentiating between policyholders much more quickly than one-period credibility...

Optimality conditions for a class of mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints: strongly regular case
The paper deals with mathematical programs, where parameter-dependent nonlinear complementarity problems arise as side constraints. Using the generalized differential calculus for nonsmooth and set-valued mappings due to B. Mordukhovich, we compute the so-called coderivative of the map assigning the parameter the (set of) solutions to the respective complementarity problem. This enables, in particular, to derive useful 1st-order necessary optimality conditions, provided the complementarity problem...

Optimality of the replicating strategy for American options
The aim of this paper is to study the problem of optimality of replicating strategies associated with pricing of American contingent claims in the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein model with proportional transaction costs. We show that a replication of the option is always possible. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a replicating strategy which is optimal, and also show an example of an optimal replicating strategy that is not optimal in the global sense.

Optimisation de plans de financement immobiliers
La finance de marché est devenue un des domaines d'ap- plication privilégiés de la recherche opérationnelle. D'un autre côté, rares sont les applications touchant la banque de détail, tournée vers le grand public. Dans ce papier, nous abordons un problème d'actualité dans le secteur bancaire français : l'optimisation de plans de financement immobiliers. Le travail que nous présentons a été effectué dans le cadre du développement par la société Experian-Prologia d'une nouvelle application d'instruction...

Optimization of consumption with partial observation-Jensen inequality method
A solution to a model of optimal consumption with partial observation considered in [LOS] is presented. The approach is based on the Jensen inequality and does not require application of the filtering equation.
Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law
Four formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law are tested from the point of view of their applicability and suitability. The accuracy of related approximations of measured data is examined by the least square method at first. Then the accuracy of calculated parameters in the formulas under consideration is compared statistically. The influence of neglecting parameter is investigated as well. Finally, the obtained results are discussed by means of an illustrative example from quantitative linguistics....

Option pricing in a CEV model with liquidity costs
The goal of this paper is to make an attempt to generalise the model of pricing European options with an illiquid underlying asset considered by Rogers and Singh (2010). We assume that an investor's decisions have only a temporary effect on the price, which is proportional to the square of the change of the number of asset units in the investor's portfolio. We also assume that the underlying asset price follows a CEV model. To prove existence and uniqueness of the solution, we use techniques similar...
Option pricing in the CRR model with proportional transaction costs: a cone transformation approach
Option pricing in the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein model with transaction costs is studied. Using a cone transformation approach a complete characterization of perfectly hedged options is given.
Option valuation under the VG process by a DG method
The paper presents a discontinuous Galerkin method for solving partial integro-differential equations arising from the European as well as American option pricing when the underlying asset follows an exponential variance gamma process. For practical purposes of numerical solving we introduce the modified option pricing problem resulting from a localization to a bounded domain and an approximation of small jumps, and we discuss the related error estimates. Then we employ a robust numerical procedure...
Optional splitting formula in a progressively enlarged filtration
Let F be a filtration andτbe a random time. Let G be the progressive enlargement of F withτ. We study the following formula, called the optional splitting formula: For any G-optional processY, there exists an F-optional processY′ and a function Y′′ defined on [0,∞] × (ℝ+ × Ω) being ℬ[0,∞]⊗x1d4aa;(F) measurable, such that Y=Y′1[0,τ)+Y′′(τ)1[τ,∞). (This formula can also be formulated for multiple random timesτ1,...,τk). We are interested in this formula because of its fundamental role in many...
