Options are some of the most traded financial instruments and computing their price is a central task in financial mathematics and in practice. Consequently, the development of numerical algorithms for pricing options is an active field of research. In gen ...
Consider the problem of minimizing a convex differentiable function on the probability simplex, spectrahedron, or set of quantum density matrices. We prove that the expo-nentiated gradient method with Armijo line search always converges to the optimum, if ...
We consider a family of multivariate trace inequalities recently derived by Sutter, Berta, and Tomamichel. These inequalities generalize the Golden-Thompson inequality and Lieb’s triple matrix inequality to an arbitrary number of matrices in a way that fea ...
We consider the problem of efficiently solving Sylvester and Lyapunov equations of medium and large scale, in case of rank-structured data, i.e., when the coefficient matrices and the right-hand side have low-rank off- diagonal blocks. This comprises probl ...
A Quasi Toeplitz (QT) matrix is a semi-infinite matrix of the kind A=T(a)+E whereT(a)=(aj−i)i,j∈Z+, E=(ei,j)i,j∈Z+ is compact and the norms ∥a∥W=∑i∈Z∣a∣j and $|E|_{ ...
We derive analytic series representations for European option prices in polynomial stochastic volatility models. This includes the Jacobi, Heston, Stein-Stein, and Hull-White models, for which we provide numerical case studies. We find that our polynomial ...
The computation of the matrix exponential is a ubiquitous operation in numerical mathematics, and for a general, unstructured n×n matrix it can be computed in O(n3) operations. An interesting problem arises if the input matrix is a Toeplitz matrix, for exa ...
The present thesis deals with problems arising from discrete mathematics, whose proofs make use of tools from algebraic geometry and topology. The thesis is based on four papers that I have co-authored, three of which have been published in journals, and o ...
We introduce a novel stochastic volatility model where the squared volatility of the asset return follows a Jacobi process. It contains the Heston model as a limit case. We show that the joint density of any finite sequence of log-returns admits a Gram–Cha ...
Multivariate curve resolution via alternating least squares (ALS) is used to resolve the concentration profiles C and the pure component spectra E of S species from the multivariate absorbance data A, assuming the bilinear model ...
