  2. 1. Ruin probabilities and first passage times for self-similar processes

    Author : Zbigniew Michna; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Simulation of Ruin Probability; Monte Carlo Method; Skorokhod Topology; Weak Convergence; Rice s Formula; Fluid Model; Risk Model; Scaled Brownian Motion; Long Range Dependence; Fractional Brownian Motion; Renewal Process; Levy Motion; Stable Process; Self-Similar Process; Gaussian Process; Ruin Probability; First Passage Time; Exponential Bound; Picands Constant.; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates ruin probabilities and first passage times for self-similar processes. We propose self-similar processes as a risk model with claims appearing in good and bad periods. Then, in particular, we get the fractional Brownian motion with drift as a limit risk process.

  4. 2. Bridges with Random Length and Pinning Point for Modelling the Financial Information

    Author : Mohammed Louriki; Astrid Hilbert; Dorje C. Brody; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Brownian motion; Brownian bridge; Gaussian process; Gaussian bridge; Gamma process; Gamma bridge; Lévy process; pinned Lévy process; Markov process; Bayes theorem; stopping time; default time; semi-martingale decomposition; credit risk; defaultable bond; last passage time; enlargement of filtration; stochastic filtering theory; information-based asset pricing; market filtration.; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : The impact of the information concerning an event of interest occurring at a future random time is the main topic of this work. The event can massively influence financial markets and the problem of modelling the information on the time at which it occurs is of crucial importance in financial modelling. READ MORE

  5. 3. Derivative Prices for Models using Levy Processes and Markov Switching

    Author : Sebastian Rasmus; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; programming; operations research; Statistics; Regime switching; Levy processes; Derivative pricing; Computer simulations; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to mathematics, finance and computer simulations. In terms of mathematics this thesis concerns applied probability and Lévy processes and from the financial point of view the thesis concerns derivative pricing. Within these two areas several simulation techniques are investigated. The thesis is organized as follows. READ MORE

  6. 4. Nelson-type Limits for α-Stable Lévy Processes

    Author : Haidar Al-Talibi; Astrid Hilbert; Francesco Russo; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ornstein-Uhlenbeck position process; α-stable Lévy noise; scaling limits; time change; stochastic Newton equations; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; Applied mathematics; Tillämpad matematik; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : Brownian motion has met growing interest in mathematics, physics and particularly in finance since it was introduced in the beginning of the twentieth century. Stochastic processes generalizing Brownian motion have influenced many research fields theoretically and practically. READ MORE

  7. 5. A Differentiable Approach to Stochastic Differential Equations : the Smoluchowski Limit Revisited

    Author : Haidar Al-Talibi; Astrid Hilbert; Yaozhong Hu; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; α-stable Lévy noise; Fractional Brownian motion; Girsanov theorem; Mean-field model; Nonlinear stochastic oscillator; Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process; Scaling limit; Second order Itô equation; Time change.; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : In this thesis we generalize results by Smoluchowski [43], Chandrasekhar[6], Kramers, and Nelson [30]. Their aim is to construct Brownian motion as a limit of stochastic processes with differentiable sample paths by exploiting a scaling limit which is a particular type of averaging studied by Papanicolao [35].
