This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the work- shop "e;Modelling of Patterns in Space and Time"e;, organized by the 80nderforschungsbereich 123, "e;8tochastische Mathematische Modelle"e;, in Heidelberg, July 4-8, 1983.
This collection of original papers related to the Israeli GAFA seminar (on Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis) from the years 2006 to 2011 continues the long tradition of the previous volumes, which reflect the general trends of Asymptotic Geometric Analysis, understood in a broad sense, and are a source of inspiration for new research.
The essays in this special volume survey some of the most recent advances in the global analysis of dynamic models for economics, finance and the social sciences.
Since 1972 and the appearance of the famous Black & Scholes option pric- ing formula, derivatives have become an integrated part of everyday life in the financial industry.
The present study has been accepted as a doctoral thesis by the Depart- ment of Economics of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University in Frankfurt am Main.
Due to the scarcity of reliable data, the existing literature on default risk still displays an imbalance between theoretical and empirical contributions.
In this book, the authors investigate structural aspects of no arbitrage pricing of contingent claims and applications of the general pricing theory in the context of incomplete markets.
This book deals with the numerical analysis and efficient numerical treatment of high-dimensional integrals using sparse grids and other dimension-wise integration techniques with applications to finance and insurance.
Discrete Mathematics and theoretical computer science are closely linked research areas with strong impacts on applications and various other scientific disciplines.
Focuses on acquiring spatial models of physical environments through mobile robotsThe robotic mapping problem is commonly referred to as SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping).
Stormy development of electronic computation techniques (computer systems and software), observed during the last decades, has made possible automation of data processing in many important human activity areas, such as science, technology, economics and labor organization.
The aim of this volume that presents lectures given at a joint CIME and Banach Center Summer School, is to offer a broad presentation of a class of updated methods providing a mathematical framework for the development of a hierarchy of models of complex systems in the natural sciences, with a special attention to biology and medicine.
In this study extending classical Markov chain theory to handle fluctuating transition matrices, the author develops a theory of Markov set-chains and provides numerous examples showing how that theory can be applied.
The volume consists entirely of research papers, principally in stochastic calculus, martingales, and Brownian motion, and gathers an important part of the works done in the main probability groups in France (Paris, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Besancon, Grenoble,.
The 31 papers collected here present original research results obtained in 1995-96, on Brownian motion and, more generally, diffusion processes, martingales, Wiener spaces, polymer measures.
Operational Quantum Physics offers a systematic presentation of quantum mechanics which makes exhaustive use of the full probabilistic structure of this theory.
Stochastic calculus and excursion theory are very efficient tools to obtain either exact or asymptotic results about Brownian motion and related processes.
This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at IPCO 2002, the NinthInternationalConferenceonIntegerProgrammingandCombinatorial- timization, Cambridge, MA (USA), May 27-29, 2002.
The monograph is devoted mainly to the analytical study of the differential, pseudo-differential and stochastic evolution equations describing the transition probabilities of various Markov processes.
Stochastic differential equations, and Hoermander form representations of diffusion operators, can determine a linear connection associated to the underlying (sub)-Riemannian structure.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Experimental and Efficient Algorithms, WEA 2003, held in Ascona, Switzerland in May 2003.
