    Author : Fredrik Stenberg; Dmitrii Silvestrov; Kimmo Eriksson; Nikolaos Limnios; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; semi-Markov process; discrete time; insurance; actuarial; higher order reward; disability; variance; skewness; kurtosis; reward process; stochastic volatility; controlling semi-Markov process; Monte Carlo algorithm; convergence; optimal stopping; skeleton approximation; regime switching; semi-Markov modulated; European option; American option; Lévy process.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents studies of semi-Markov models for insurance and option rewards. The thesis consists of the introduction and six papers. The introduction presents the results of the thesis in an informal way.In paper A, a general semi-Markov reward model is presented. READ MORE

  4. 2. Numerical analysis for random processes and fields and related design problems

    Author : Konrad Abramowicz; Oleg Seleznjev; Krzysztof Podgórski; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stochastic processes; random fields; approximation; numerical integration; Hermite splines; piecewise linear interpolator; local stationarity; point singularity; stratified Monte Carlo quadrature; Asian option; Monte Carlo pricing method; Lévy market models; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we study numerical analysis for random processes and fields. We investigate the behavior of the approximation accuracy for specific linear methods based on a finite number of observations. Furthermore, we propose techniques for optimizing performance of the methods for particular classes of random functions. READ MORE

  5. 3. From Monte Carlo PET Simulations to Reconstructed Images : Modelling and Optimisation for 68Ga Theragnostics

    Author : Philip Kalaitzidis; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anthropomorphic phantoms; Monte Carlo modelling; Nuclear medicine; PET; SPECT; Theragnostics; Tomographic reconstruction; Fysicumarkivet A:2023 Kalaitzidis;

    Abstract : In nuclear medicine, radiopharmaceuticals can be administered for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in theragnostics, a strategy that combines both diagnosis and therapy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Convergence of Option Rewards

    Author : Robin Lundgren; Dmitrii Silvestrov; Kimmo Eriksson; Anatoliy Malyarenko; Johan Tysk; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied mathematics; Tillämpad matematik; Mathematics Applied Mathematics; matematik tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and five articles devoted to optimal stopping problems of American type options. In article A, we get general convergence results for the American option rewards for multivariate Markov price processes. These results are used to prove convergence of tree approximations presented in papers A, B, C and E. READ MORE

  7. 5. Accurate Finite Difference Methods for Option Pricing

    Author : Jonas Persson; Lina von Sydow; Per Lötstedt; Johan Tysk; Jari Toivanen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Finite differences; Option pricing; Adaptive methods; Numerical Analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Abstract : Stock options are priced numerically using space- and time-adaptive finite difference methods. European options on one and several underlying assets are considered. These are priced with adaptive numerical algorithms including a second order method and a more accurate method. READ MORE
