On the optimal reinsurance problem
In this paper we consider the optimal reinsurance problem in endogenous form with respect to general convex risk measures ϱ and pricing rules π. By means of a subdifferential formula for compositions in Banach spaces we first characterize optimal reinsurance contracts in the case of one insurance taker and one insurer. In the second step we generalize the characterization to the case of several insurance takers. As a consequence we obtain a result saying that cooperation brings less risk compared...
On the optimal target of a macroeconomic growth model.
On the probability of reaching a barrier in an Erlang(2) risk process.
In this paper the process of aggregated claims in a non-life insurance portfolio as defined in the classical model of risk theory is modified. The Compound Poisson process is replaced with a more general renewal risk process with interocurrence times of Erlangian type. We focus our analysis on the probability that the process of surplus reaches a certain level before ruin occurs, χ(u,b). Our main contribution is the generalization obtained in the computation of χ(u,b) for the case of interocurrence...

On the singular limit of solutions to the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross interest rate model with stochastic volatility
In this paper we are interested in term structure models for pricing zero coupon bonds under rapidly oscillating stochastic volatility. We analyze solutions to the generalized Cox–Ingersoll–Ross two factors model describing clustering of interest rate volatilities. The main goal is to derive an asymptotic expansion of the bond price with respect to a singular parameter representing the fast scale for the stochastic volatility process. We derive the second order asymptotic expansion of a solution...

On the von Neumann problem and the approximate controllability of Stackelberg-Nash strategies for some environmental problems.
Two problems arising in Environment are considered. The first one concerns a conjecture posed by von Neumann in 1955 on the possible modification of the albedo in order to control the Earth surface temperature. The second one is related to the approximate controllability of Stackelberg-Nash strategies for some optimization problems as, for instance, the pollution control in a lake. The results of the second part were obtained in collaboration with Jacques-Lois Lions.
On uniform tail expansions of multivariate copulas and wide convergence of measures
The theory of copulas provides a useful tool for modeling dependence in risk management. In insurance and finance, as well as in other applications, dependence of extreme events is particularly important, hence there is a need for a detailed study of the tail behaviour of multivariate copulas. We investigate the class of copulas having regular tails with a uniform expansion. We present several equivalent characterizations of uniform tail expansions. Next, basing on them, we determine the class of...
On using multistage linking constraints for stochastic optimization as a decision-making aid
We present a model1ing framework for multistage planning problems under uncertainty in the objective function coefficients and right-hand-side. A multistagy scenario analysis scheme with partial recourse is used. So, the decisíon polícy can be implemented for a given set of initial time periods (so-called implementable time stage), such that the solution for the other periods lioes not need' to be anticipated and, then, it depends upon the scenario group to occur at each stage. In any ca~e the solution...
On valuation of derivative securities: A Lie group analytical approach
This paper proposes a Lie group analytical approach to tackle the problem of pricing derivative securities. By exploiting the infinitesimal symmetries of the Boundary Value Problem (BVP) satisfied by the price of a derivative security, our method provides an effective algorithm for obtaining its explicit solution.
