We deal with the optimal portfolio problem in discrete-time setting. Employing the discrete Itô formula, which is developed by Fujita, we establish the discrete Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (d-HJB) equation for the value function. Simple examples of the d-HJB equation are also discussed.
Let v(n) be the minimum number of voters with transitive preferences which are needed to generate any strong preference pattern (ties not allowed) on n candidates. Let k = [log2n]. Then it is shown that v(n) ≤ n-k if n and k have different parity, and v(n) ≤ n-k+1 otherwise.
Mathematical models for option pricing often result in partial differential equations. Recent enhancements are models driven by Lévy processes, which lead to a partial differential equation with an additional integral term. In the context of model calibration, these partial integro differential equations need to be solved quite frequently. To reduce the computational cost the implementation of a reduced order model has shown to be very successful numerically. In this paper we give a priori error...
Soit F une famille de critères conçue pour asseoir un modèle de préférences global sur un ensemble A d'actions potentielles (ou alternatives). On se place ici dans une perspective d'aide à la décision et dans l'hypothèse où des dépendances (encore appelées interactions) sont susceptibles d'exister entre certains des critères de F. On commence (cf. Sect. 2.1) par préciser ce que signifie l'affirmation "il existe des dépendances entre certains des critères de F" (Déf. 1). On s'intéresse ensuite...
The paper has been presented at the International Conference Pioneers of Bulgarian Mathematics, Dedicated to Nikola Obreshko and Lubomir Tschakalo , So a, July, 2006.The current paper introduces the usage of subjective evaluations by others as a tool that can support consumers' decisions. It summarizes the features of the main UDDI registry providers and presents an extension to any UDDI registry allowing users of the registry to publish subjective evaluations for any artifact found in it and to...
In this paper, we introduce a new linear programming second-order stochastic dominance (SSD) portfolio efficiency test for portfolios with scenario approach for distribution of outcomes and a new SSD portfolio inefficiency measure. The test utilizes the relationship between CVaR and dual second-order stochastic dominance, and contrary to tests in Post [Post] and Kuosmanen [Kuosmanen], our test detects a dominating portfolio which is SSD efficient. We derive also a necessary condition for SSD efficiency...
An approach to choice function theory is suggested which is probabilistic and non-deterministic. In the framework of this approach fuzzy choice functions are introduced and a number of necessary and sufficient conditions for a fuzzy choice function to be a fuzzy rational choice function of a certain type are established.
We consider a stochastic overlapping generations model for a continuum of individuals with finite lives in presence of a financial market. In this paper, an agent's heterogeneity is given by the dates of birth of the household members, in contrast to standard models, in which each agent has his own aversion coefficient on his utility function. By means of martingale arguments, we compute the agent's optimal consumption and portfolio. A characterization of interest rate trajectories is given by mixed-type...
