2. 21. Localised Radial Basis Function Methods for Partial Differential Equations

   Author : Victor Shcherbakov; Elisabeth Larsson; Grady B. Wright; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radial basis function; Partition of unity; Computational finance; Option pricing; Credit default swap; Glaciology; Fluid dynamics; Non-Newtonian flow; Anisotropic RBF; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

   Abstract : Radial basis function methods exhibit several very attractive properties such as a high order convergence of the approximated solution and flexibility to the domain geometry. However the method in its classical formulation becomes impractical for problems with relatively large numbers of degrees of freedom due to the ill-conditioning and dense structure of coefficient matrix.

4. 22. Some Applications of Variational Inequalities in Mathematical Finance and Numerics

   Author : Martin Dahlgren; Matematik LTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Matematik; Mathematics; HJB quasi variational inequalities; option pricing; Impulse control; parabolic PDE; finite element method; Galerkin method;

   Abstract : This thesis contains two parts. The first part deals with a stochastic impulse control problem, subject to the restriction of a minimum time lapse in between interventions made by the controller. We prove existence of an optimal control and show that the value function of the control problem satisfies a system of quasi-variational inequalities. READ MORE

5. 23. Financial Volatility and Time-Varying Risk Premia

   Author : Peter Hördahl; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Monte Carlo methods; Term structure of interest rates; Asymmetric variance; Time-varying risk premia; Volatility forecasting; CAPM; Conditional asset pricing models; Stochastic volatility; Volatility modeling; GARCH; Bond option pricing; Financial science; Finansiering;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four empirical essays, all dealing with return volatility of financial assets and/or time-varying risk premia. In the first essay, Changing Risk Premia: Evidence from a Small Open Economy, the relation between risk and return is investigated for Swedish stocks. READ MORE

6. 24. Asset Pricing Models with Stochastic Volatility

   Author : Jean-Paul Murara; Sergei Silvestrov; George Fodor; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics Applied Mathematics; matematik tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : Asset pricing modeling is a wide range area of research in Financial Engineering. In this thesis, which consists of an introduction, three papers and appendices; we deal with asset pricing models with stochastic volatility. Here stochastic volatility modeling includes diffusion models and regime-switching models. READ MORE

7. 25. 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
