Domaine de victoire et stratégies viables chez les pêcheurs décrits par l'anthropologue Fredrik Barth

Noël Bonneuil, Patrick Saint-Pierre (1998)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

L'anthropologue Fredrik Barth a analysé l'émergence des formes sociales chez les pêcheurs norvégiens. Sa perspective est bien modélisée par les outils mathématiques de la théorie de la viabilité, grâce auxquels on peut calculer l'ensemble des états à partir desquels la survie du système est encore possible, ainsi que la bonne décision à prendre à chaque instant, entre explorer ou suivre les autres bateaux. En outre, il se trouve que, techniquement, la condition de compacité des images de la correspondance...

Dynamic dependence ordering for Archimedean copulas and distorted copulas

Arthur Charpentier (2008)

Kybernetika

This paper proposes a general framework to compare the strength of the dependence in survival models, as time changes, i. e. given remaining lifetimes X , to compare the dependence of X given X > t , and X given X > s , where s > t . More precisely, analytical results will be obtained in the case the survival copula of X is either Archimedean or a distorted copula. The case of a frailty based model will also be discussed in details.

Dynamic programming for an investment/consumption problem in illiquid markets with regime-switching

Paul Gassiat, Fausto Gozzi, Huyên Pham (2015)

Banach Center Publications

We consider an illiquid financial market with different regimes modeled by a continuous time finite-state Markov chain. The investor can trade a stock only at the discrete arrival times of a Cox process with intensity depending on the market regime. Moreover, the risky asset price is subject to liquidity shocks, which change its rate of return and volatility, and induce jumps on its dynamics. In this setting, we study the problem of an economic agent optimizing her expected utility from consumption...

Dynamic reforming of a quasi pay-as-you-go social security system within a discrete stochastic multidimensional framework using optimal control methods

Athanasios A. Pantelous, Alexandros A. Zimbidis (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

In many western economies, the phenomenon of ageing population implies that the large Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) social security system will run into several severe financial difficulties. In that direction, this paper constructs a discrete-time stochastic model for a quasi PAYGO social security system to allow the potential accumulation of a special (contingency) fund, which can oscillate so as to absorb fluctuations in the various system parameters involved. The basic difference equation is analytically...

Dynamic term structure modelling with default and mortality risk: new results on existence and monotonicity

Thorsten Schmidt, Stefan Tappe (2015)

Banach Center Publications

This paper considers dynamic term structure models like the ones appearing in portfolio credit risk modelling or life insurance. We study general forward rate curves driven by infinitely many Brownian motions and an integer-valued random measure, generalizing existing approaches in the literature. A precise characterization of absence of arbitrage in such markets is given in terms of a suitable criterion for no asymptotic free lunch (NAFL). From this, we obtain drift conditions which are equivalent...

Ecological-Economic Model of the Region: Information Technology, Forecasting and Optimal Control

V. Gurman, V. Baturin (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The paper considers a methodology of mathematical modeling of ecological-economic processes at the regional level. The basis of the model is formed by equations, which describe two interacting blocks: economic and ecological ones. Equations of the economic block are represented by relations of generalized inter-branch balance, while the ecological part is described in terms of differential equations with deviations with respect to some given state of natural resources. Issues of i) information...
