The objective of this paper is the study of the equilibrium behavior of a population on the hierarchical group ΩN consisting of families of individuals undergoing critical branching random walk and in addition these families also develop according to a critical branching process. Strong transience of the random walk guarantees existence of an equilibrium for this two-level branching system. In the limit N→∞ (called the hierarchical mean field limit), the equilibrium aggregated populations in a nested sequence of balls B(N)ℓ of hierarchical radius ℓ converge to a backward Markov chain on R+. This limiting Markov chain can be explicitly represented in terms of a cascade of subordinators which in turn makes possible a description of the genealogy of the population.
We present a new self-contained and rigorous proof of the smoothness of invariant fiber bundles for dynamic equations on measure chains or time scales. Here, an invariant fiber bundle is the generalization of an invariant manifold to the nonautonomous case. Our main result generalizes the “Hadamard-Perron theorem” to the time-dependent, infinite-dimensional, noninvertible, and parameter-dependent case, where the linear part is not necessarily hyperbolic with variable growth rates. As a key feature, our proof works without using complicated technical tools.
Installment Optionen
(2004)
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich im Wesentlichen mit Installment Optionen und deren Bewertung und Hedgemöglichkeiten. Installment Optionen werden vor allem im internationalen Treasurymanagement eingesetzt und dienen der Absicherung von Wechselkursrisiken. Die Besonderheit besteht darin, daß ein Konzern die Optionsprämie über mehrere Zeitpunkte aufteilen kann, zu denen er jeweils entscheidet, ob die Absicherung überhaupt noch benötigt wird. Dies könnte unter Umständen nicht mehr der Fall sein, wenn das zugrunde liegende internationale Geschäft des Konzerns wider Erwarten nicht zustande gekommen ist. Der exakte Wert einer Installment Option im Black-Scholes Modell besteht aus einem Ausdruck von Mehrfachintegralen, wohingegen die Anwendung verschiedener Bewertungsmethoden auf diesen approximierte Werte liefert. Die Untersuchung des Verhaltens mehrerer bekannter Methoden und die Entwicklung einer neuen Bewertungsformel für Installment Option ist Inhalt dieser Arbeit. Weiterhin wird die kontinuierliche Version der Installment Option betrachtet und für diese ein neuer Hedge bewiesen.
We modify the concept of LLL-reduction of lattice bases in the sense of Lenstra, Lenstra, Lovasz [LLL82] towards a faster reduction algorithm. We organize LLL-reduction in segments of the basis. Our SLLL-bases approximate the successive minima of the lattice in nearly the same way as LLL-bases. For integer lattices of dimension n given by a basis of length 2exp(O(n)), SLLL-reduction runs in O(n.exp(5+epsilon)) bit operations for every epsilon > 0, compared to O(exp(n7+epsilon)) for the original LLL and to O(exp(n6+epsilon)) for the LLL-algorithms of Schnorr (1988) and Storjohann (1996). We present an even faster algorithm for SLLL-reduction via iterated subsegments running in O(n*exp(3)*log n) arithmetic steps.
Let G be a Fuchsian group containing two torsion free subgroups defining isomorphic Riemann surfaces. Then these surface subgroups K and alpha-Kalpha exp(-1) are conjugate in PSl(2,R), but in general the conjugating element alpha cannot be taken in G or a finite index Fuchsian extension of G. We will show that in the case of a normal inclusion in a triangle group G these alpha can be chosen in some triangle group extending G. It turns out that the method leading to this result allows also to answer the question how many different regular dessins of the same type can exist on a given quasiplatonic Riemann surface.
We present an overview of the mathematics underlying the quantum Zeno effect. Classical, functional analytic results are put into perspective and compared with more recent ones. This yields some new insights into mathematical preconditions entailing the Zeno paradox, in particular a simplified proof of Misra's and Sudarshan's theorem. We empahsise the complex-analytic structures associated to the issue of existence of the Zeno dynamics. On grounds of the assembled material, we reason about possible future mathematical developments pertaining to the Zeno paradox and its counterpart, the anti-Zeno paradox, both of which seem to be close to complete characterisations.
