On the Bavrin integro-differential operators and their applications to the solution of functional equations.
We study a reaction-diffusion equation with an integral term describing nonlocal consumption of resources in population dynamics. We show that a homogeneous equilibrium can lose its stability resulting in appearance of stationary spatial structures. They can be related to the emergence of biological species due to the intra-specific competition and random mutations. Various types of travelling waves are observed.
This paper deals with the spectral study of the streaming operator with general boundary conditions defined by means of a boundary operator . We study the positivity and the irreducibility of the generated semigroup proved in [M. Boulanouar, L’opérateur d’Advection: existence d’un -semi-groupe (I), Transp. Theory Stat. Phys. 31, 2002, 153–167], in the case . We also give some spectral properties of the streaming operator and we characterize the type of the generated semigroup in terms of the...
This paper addresses the two-asset Merton model for option pricing represented by non-stationary integro-differential equations with two state variables. The drawback of most classical methods for solving these types of equations is that the matrices arising from discretization are full and ill-conditioned. In this paper, we first transform the equation using logarithmic prices, drift removal, and localization. Then, we apply the Galerkin method with a recently proposed orthogonal cubic spline-wavelet...
This paper examines the pricing of two-asset European options under the Merton model represented by a nonstationary integro-differential equation with two state variables. For its numerical solution, the wavelet-Galerkin method combined with the Crank-Nicolson scheme is used. A drawback of most classical methods is the full structure of discretization matrices. In comparison, the wavelet method enables the approximation of discretization matrices with sparse matrices. Sparsity is essential for the...
