  2. 1. Multidimensional Markov-Functional and Stochastic Volatiliy Interest Rate Modelling

    Author : Linus Kajsajunti; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of three papers in the area of interest rate derivatives modelling. The pricing and hedging of (exotic) interest rate derivatives is one of the most demanding and complex problems in option pricing theory and is of great practical importance in the market. READ MORE

  4. 2. Essays in Quantitative Finance

    Author : Patrik Karlsson; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []

  7. 5. Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation and Multiangle Light Scattering for Molar Mass Analysis of Polysaccharide Derivatives

    Author : Mats Andersson; Industriell Produktion; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polysaccharide derivatives ethylhydroxyethyl cellulose; molar mass analysis; asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation; multiangle light scattering; polymer size distribution; Polymer technology; biopolymers; Polymerteknik;

    Abstract : Molar mass and molar mass distribution of polymers are parameters of fundamental importance as they influence the performance of the polymer in applications. Polysaccharide derivatives are a class of polymers that have attracted significant scientific and commercial interest as they can be manufactured from a wide range of abundant sources in nature and thereby often are both cheap and biocompatible.
