Die Preise, zu denen Aktienindexoptionen an den internationalen Terminborsen gehandelt werden, weichen in der Regel systematisch von den Implikationen des von Black, Scholes und Merton entwickelten Standartmodells der Optionsbewertung ab. Zur Erklarung dieses als "Smile-Effekt" bekannten Phanomens existieren verschiedene Hypothesen, die in dieser Arbeit diskutiert und anhand von Transaktionsdaten fur die DAX-Option empirisch uberpruft werden. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen kann die umfangreiche Datenbasis genutzt werden, um Informationen uber die den Preisen zugrunde liegende Kursverteilung...

Les buts principaux de cet ouvrage qui comble un vide sont de:

- donner les concepts et resultats fondamentaux sur les ensembles ordonnes finis,

- presenter leurs usages dans des domaines varies (de la RO ou l IA a la micro-economie),

- signaler un certain nombre de resultats et de recherches en cours. "

Computersysteme mit dezentralen Kontrollstrukturen (z.B. Internet, Peer-to-Peer-Systeme, Grid-Computing) sind in immer mehr Bereichen anzutreffen. Da sie neben den Eigenschaften eines Computersystems haufig auch die eines Wirtschaftssystems besitzen, muss dieser neuen Komplexitat beim Entwurf von Algorithmen und Protokollen Rechnung getragen werden.

Algorithmic Mechanism Design liegt im Schnittfeld von Algorithmik, Spieltheorie und Mikrookonomie. Es zeigt, wie eigennutzig handelnde Akteure dazu veranlasst werden konnen, effiziente gemeinsame Entscheidungen zu treffen, und untersucht...

The author derives an efficient and accurate pricing tool for interest-rate derivatives within a Fourier-transform based pricing approach, which is generally applicable to exponential-affine jump-diffusion models.

This book is devoted to one of the fastest developing fields in modern control theory - the so-called H-infinity optimal control theory. The book can be used for a second or third year graduate level course in the subject, and researchers working in the area will find the book useful as a standard reference. Based mostly on recent work of the authors, the book is written on a good mathematical level. Many results in it are original, interesting, and inspirational. The topic is central to modern control and hence this definitive book is highly recommended to anyone who wishes to catch up...

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. Mastering complexity implies sharing different tools requiring much higher level of communication between different mathematical and scientific schools, for solving classes of problems of the same nature. Today more than ever, one of the most important...

Concepts, methods and techniques of statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences, biology and economics in an attempt to understand and model the large variability and risks of phenomena. This is the first textbook written by a well-known expert that provides a modern up-to-date introduction for workers outside statistical physics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2007, held in Valencia, Spain in April 2007. The 21 revised full papers cover evolutionary algorithms as well as various other metaheuristics, like scatter search, tabu search, memetic algorithms, variable neighborhood search, ant colony optimization, and particle swarm optimization algorithms.

Here, two highly experienced authors present an alternative approach to optimal stopping problems. The basic ideas and techniques of the approach can be explained much simpler than the standard methods in the literature on optimal stopping problems. The monograph will teach the reader to apply the technique to many problems in economics and finance, including new ones. From the technical point of view, the method can be characterized as option pricing via the Wiener-Hopf factorization.

Exponential smoothing methods have been around since the 1950s, and are still the most popular forecasting methods used in business and industry. However, a modeling framework incorporating stochastic models, likelihood calculation, prediction intervals and procedures for model selection, was not developed until recently. This book brings together all of the important new results on the state space framework for exponential smoothing. It will be of interest to people wanting to apply the methods in their own area of interest as well as for researchers wanting to take the ideas in new...
