A continuation multilevel Monte Carlo algorithm

Fabio Nobile, Erik Gustaf Bogislaw Von Schwerin

We propose a novel Continuation Multi Level Monte Carlo (CMLMC) algorithm for weak approximation of stochastic models. The CMLMC algorithm solves the given approximation problem for a sequence of decreasing tolerances, ending when the required error tolera ...

Upper bounds for Euclidean minima of abelian number fields

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Piotr Aleksander Maciak

Le but de cet article est de donner des bornes supérieures pour les minima euclidiens de corps abéliens, en particulier dans le cas des corps abéliens de conducteurs des puissances de nombres premiers. ...

The economic performance of Swiss drinking water utilities

Andrea Baranzini, Anne-Kathrin Faust

This paper measures the performance in terms of costs of Swiss drinking water utilities accounting for environmental factors. We estimate a translog stochastic variable cost frontier using two different techniques on an unbalanced panel of 141 water distri ...

Linking electricity prices and costs in bottom-up top-down coupling under changing market environments

Frank Vöhringer, Sophie Maire

Energy market liberalization is changing pricing mechanisms for wholesale electricity. This work shows that it is essential to appreciate and mirror these changes in the modeling of electricity markets for policy assessment. We develop a framework composed ...

Inventory Leanness and the Financial Performance of the Firm

Ralf Seifert, Olov Isaksson

This paper examines the financial consequences that inventory leanness has on firm performance. We conduct an econometric analysis using 4324 publicly traded US manufacturing companies for the period 1980-2008. Using an instrumental variable fixed effects ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : A continuation multilevel Monte Carlo algorithm

Fabio Nobile, Erik Gustaf Bogislaw Von Schwerin

We propose a novel Continuation Multi Level Monte Carlo (CMLMC) algorithm for weak approximation of stochastic models that are described in terms of differential equations either driven by random measures or with random coefficients. The CMLMC algorithm so ...

Torsion homology of arithmetic lattices and K-2 of imaginary fields

Vincent Emery

Let be a symmetric space of noncompact type. A result of Gelander provides exponential upper bounds in terms of the volume for the torsion homology of the noncompact arithmetic locally symmetric spaces . We show that under suitable assumptions on this resu ...

Polarity-Balanced Codes

Balanced bipolar codes consist of sequences in which the symbols ‘−1’ and ‘+1’ appear equally often. Several generalizations to larger alphabets have been considered in literature. For example, for the q-ary alphabet {−q+1,−q+3, . . . , q−1}, known concept ...

The Economics of Water Distribution in Switzerland

Anne-Kathrin Faust

This thesis analyses three distinct aspects of the economics of water distribution in Switzerland. Climate change and mounting pressure regarding the performance of network industries command an understanding of the drivers of cost and efficiency of water ...

Irregular Product Codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Ghid Maatouk, Seyed Omid Etesami, Masoud Alipour Babaei

We introduce irregular product codes, a class of codes where each codeword is represented by a matrix and the entries in each row (column) of the matrix come from a component row (column) code. As opposed to standard product codes, we do not require that a ...
