On pricing of corporate securities in the case of jump-diffusion

Structural models of credit risk are known to present vanishing spreads at very short maturitiesThis shortcoming, which is due to the diffusive behavior assumed for asset values, can be circumvented by considering discontinuities of the jump type in their evolution over timeIn this paper, we extend the pricing model for corporate bond and determine the default probability in jump-diffusion model to address this issueTo make the problem clearly,we first investigate the case that the firm value follows a geometric Brownian motion under similar assumptions to those in Black and Scholes(1973), Briys and de Varenne(1997), i.e, the default barrier is KD(t, T) and the recovery rate is(1- ω), where D(t, T) is the price of zero coupon default free bond and ω is a constant(0 ω≤ 1)By changing the numeraire, we obtain the closed-form solution for both the price of bond and default probabilityFurther, we consider the case of jump-diffusion and suppose that a firm will go bankruptcy if its value Vt ≤ KD(t, T)and at the same time, the bondholder will receive(1- ω)Vt KBy introducing the Green function of PDE with absorbing boundary and converting the problem to an II-type Volterra integral equation, we get the closed-form expressions in series form for bond price and corresponding default probabilityNumerical results are presented to show the impact of different parameters to credit spread of bond.

WEAK APPROXIMATION OF OBLIQUELY REFLECTED DIFFUSIONS IN TIME-DEPENDENT DOMAINS

In an earlier paper, we proved the existence of solutions to the Skorohod problem with oblique reflection in time-dependent domains and, subsequently, applied this result to the problem of constructing solutions, in time-dependent domains, to stochastic differential equations with oblique reflection. In this paper we use these results to construct weak approximations of solutions to stochastic differential equations with oblique reflection, in time-dependent domains in Rd, by means of a projected Euler scheme. We prove that the constructed method has, as is the case for normal reflection and time-independent domains, an order of convergence equal to 1/2 and we evaluate the method empirically by means of two numerical examples. Furthermore, using a well-known extension of the Feynman-Kac formula, to stochastic differential equations with reflection, our method gives, in addition, a Monte Carlo method for solving second order parabolic partial differential equations with Robin boundary conditions in time-dependent domains.     

A SPECTRAL METHOD FOR PANTOGRAPH-TYPE DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND ITS CONVERGENCE ANALYSIS

We propose a novel numerical approach for delay differential equations with vanishing proportional delays based on spectral methods. A Legendre-collocation method is employed to obtain highly accurate numerical approximations to the exact solution. It is proved theoretically and demonstrated numerically that the proposed method converges exponentially provided that the data in the are smooth. given pantograph delay differential equation     

Solutions to Boundary Value Problem of Nonlinear Impulsive Differential Equation of Fractional Order

This paper is devoted to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equation with impulsive effects.The arguments are based upon Schauder and Banach fixed-point theorems.

Convergence analysis and error estimates are presented for the numerical solutions. The effects of the noises on the accuracy of the approximations are illustrated. Numerical experiments are carried out to verify our theoretical results.     

EFFICIENT NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL FRACTIONAL PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

This paper detailedly discusses the locally one-dimensional numerical methods for ef- ficiently solving the three-dimensional fractional partial differential equations, including fractional advection diffusion equation and Riesz fractional diffusion equation. The second order finite difference scheme is used to discretize the space fractional derivative and the Crank-Nicolson procedure to the time derivative. We theoretically prove and numerically verify that the presented numerical methods are unconditionally stable and second order convergent in both space and time directions. In particular, for the Riesz fractional dif- fusion equation, the idea of reducing the splitting error is used to further improve the algorithm, and the unconditional stability and convergency are also strictly proved and numerically verified for the improved scheme.     

Differential inequalities, normality and quasi-normality

We prove that ifD is a domain in C,α 〉 1 and C 〉 0,then the family F of functions f meromorphic in D such that ｜f′（z）｜/1 ＋ ｜f（z）｜α 〉 C for every z ∈ D is normal in D.For α = 1,the same assumptions imply quasi-normality but not necessarily normality.     

HOMOTOPY CONTINUATION METHODS FOR STOCHASTIC TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS DRIVEN BY ADDITIVE NOISES

In this paper the homotopy continuation method for stochastic two-point boundary value problems driven by additive noises is studied. The existence of the solution of the homotopy equation is proved. Numerical schemes are constructed and error estimates are obtained. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the homotopy continu- ation method over other commonly used methods such as the shooting method.     

Some Generalization for an Operator Which Preserving Inequalities Between Polynomials

For a polynomial p(z) of degree n which has no zeros in |z| 1, Dewan et al.,(K. K. Dewan and Sunil Hans, Generalization of certain well known polynomial inequalities, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 363(2010), 38–41) established zp′(z) +nβ2p(z) ≤n2{( β2 + 1+β2)max|z|=1|p(z)|-( 1+β2- β2)min|z|=1|p(z)|},for any complex number β with |β|≤ 1 and |z| = 1. In this paper we consider the operator B, which carries a polynomial p(z) into B[ p(z)] := λ0p(z) + λ1(nz2)p′(z)1!+ λ2(nz2)2 p′′(z)2!,where λ0, λ1, and λ2are such that all the zeros of u(z) = λ0+c(n,1)λ1z+c(n,2)λ2z2lie in the half plane |z| ≤ |z-n/2|. By using the operator B, we present a generalization of result of Dewan. Our result generalizes certain well-known polynomial inequalities.

CONSTRUCTION OF GEOMETRIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS FOR LEVEL SETS

Geometric partial differential equations of level-set form are usually constructed by a variational method using either Dirac delta function or co-area formula in the energy functional to be minimized. However, the equations derived by these two approaches are not consistent. In this paper, we present a third approach for constructing the level-set form equations. By representing various differential geometry quantities and differential geometry operators in terms of the implicit surface, we are able to reformulate three classes of parametric geometric partial differential equations （second-order, fourth-order and sixth- order） into the level-set forms. The reformulation of the equations is generic and simple, and the resulting equations are consistent with their parametric form counterparts. We further prove that the equations derived using co-area formula are also consistent with the parametric forms. However, these equations are of much complicated forms than these given by the equations we derived.     

REDUCED BASIS METHOD FOR PARAMETRIZED ELLIPTIC ADVECTION-REACTION PROBLEMS

In this work we consider the Reduced Basis method for the solution of parametrized advection-reaction partial differential equations. For the generation of the basis we adopt a stabilized finite element method and we define the Reduced Basis method in the ＂primal- dual＂ formulation for this stabilized problem. We provide a priori Reduced Basis error estimates and we discuss the effects of the finite element approximation on the Reduced Basis error. We propose an adaptive algorithm, based on the a posteriori Reduced Basis error estimate, for the selection of the sample sets upon which the basis are built; the idea leading this algorithm is the minimization of the computational costs associated with the solution of the Reduced Basis problem. Numerical tests demonstrate the efficiency, in terms of computational costs, of the ＂primal-dual＂ Reduced Basis approach with respect to an ＂only primal＂ one.

Half‐inverse problems for the quadratic pencil of the Sturm–Liouville equations with impulse

In this paper, we consider the inverse spectral problem for the impulsive Sturm–Liouville differential pencils on [0, π] with the Robin boundary conditions and the jump conditions at the point . We prove that two potentials functions on the whole interval and the parameters in the boundary and jump conditions can be determined from a set of eigenvalues for two cases: (i) the potentials given on and (ii) the potentials given on , where 0 < α < 1 , respectively.

On strongly jump traceable reals

In this paper we show that there is no minimal bound for jump traceability. In particular, there is no single order function such that strong jump traceability is equivalent to jump traceability for that order. The uniformity of the proof method allows us to adapt the technique to showing that the index set of the c.e. strongly jump traceables is -complete.

PREDUAL SPACES FOR Q SPACES

To find the predual spaces Pα（R^n） of Qα（R^n） is an important motivation in the study of Q spaces. In this article, wavelet methods are used to solve this problem in a constructive way. First, an wavelet tent atomic characterization of Pα（Rn） is given, then its usual atomic characterization and Poisson extension characterization are given. Finally, the continuity on Pα of Calderon-Zygmund operators is studied, and the result can be also applied to give the Morrey characterization of Pα（Rn）.
