This week's speaker is Rama Cont - University of Oxford, with the seminar: Excursion risk
Abstract: A broad class of dynamic trading strategies may be characterized in terms of excursions of the market price of a portfolio away from a reference level. We propose a mathematical framework for the risk analysis of such strategies, based on a description in terms of price excursions, first in a pathwise setting, without probabilistic assumptions, then in a probabilistic setting, when the price is modelled as a Markov process. We introduce the notion of δ-excursion, defined as a path which deviates by δ from a reference level before returning to this level. We show that every continuous path has a unique decomposition into such δ-excursions, which turn out to be useful for the scenario analysis of dynamic trading strategies, leading to simple expressions for the number of trades, realized profit, maximum loss and drawdown. When the underlying asset follows a Markov process, we combine these results with Ito's excursion theory to obtain a tractable decomposition of the process as a concatenation of independent δ-excursions, whose distribution is described in terms of Ito's excursion measure. We provide analytical results for linear diffusions and give new examples of stochastic processes for flexible and tractable modeling of excursions. Finally, we describe a non-parametric scenario simulation method for generating paths whose excursions match those observed in a data set. This is joint work with: Anna Ananova and RenYuan Xu.
After the end of the seminar, you are invited to bring a cup of coffee/tea and have a chat in our Coffee in the Stars here you will have the chance to talk and interact with the other persons that attended the seminar, and have a digital "coffee break".

Abstract:
Bayesian model selection requires an integration exercise in order to
assign posterior model probabilities to each candidate model. The
computation becomes cumbersome when the integral has no closed-form,
particularly when the sample size is large, or the number of models is
large. We present a simple yet powerful idea based on the Laplace
approximation (LA) to an integral. LA uses a quadratic Taylor expansion at
the mode of the integrand and is typically quite accurate, but requires
cumbersome likelihood evaluations (for large n) an optimization (for large
p). We propose the approximate Laplace approximation (ALA), which uses an
Taylor expansion at the null parameter value. ALA brings very significant
speed-ups by avoiding optimizations altogether, and evaluating likelihoods
via sufficient statistics. ALA is an approximate inference method equipped
with strong model selection properties in the family of non-linear GLMs,
attaining comparable rates to exact computation. When (inevitably) the
model is misspecified the ALA rates can actually be faster than for exact
computation, depending on the type of misspecification. We show examples in
non-linear Gaussian regression with non-local priors, for which no
closed-form integral exists, as well as non-linear logistic, Poisson and
survival regression.

On Optimal Planning of Double-Spending Attacks
presented by Prof. Juri Hinz, University of Technology Sydney, and organized
by Prof. Paolo Falbo and Prof. Cristian Pelizzari
Abstract
Diverse concepts originating from the blockchain idea have gained
popularity. However, there is concern about stability of such systems. In
this setting, an attempt to spend the digital funds more than once (the
so-called double-spending attack) has been analyzed by several authors. The
present contribution addresses a refinement to this problem under realistic
assumptions.

This week's speaker is Federica Masiero - Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, with the seminar:
Regularizing properties and HJB equations for stochastic problems with delay
Abstract: In this talk we consider stochastic differential equations with delay. It is well known that the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck transition semigroup doesn’t have regularizing properties, such as the strong Feller property. So in general, the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation cannot be solved in mild sense by a classical fixed point argument. We present a result of existence of regular solutions for the HJB equations related to a stochastic controlled equation with delay in the control and in the case when, as it often occurs in applications, the objective function depends only on the “present” of the state and control variable. The result is based on partial regularization results for the associated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup. In analogy, we investigate partial reularizing properties in the case of delay in the state and with a special dependence on the past trajectory, and we solve in mild sense the associated HJB equation and the stochastic controlled problem related. The talk is mainly based on joint works with F. Gozzi and G. Tessitore.
After the end of the seminar, you are invited to bring a cup of coffee/tea and have a chat in our Coffee in the Stars here you will have the chance to talk and interact with the other persons that attended the seminar, and have a digital "coffee break".

Title: On optimal matching problem for Gaussian samples with dimension d ≥ 3
Abstract: Optimal matching problems are very classical in computer
science, physics and mathematics.
In this talk, we will discuss the related rates of convergence of
empirical measures associated with n independent random points,
whose common distribution is the normal Gaussian distribution in
Euclidean space with dimension d ≥ 3.
Our method is based on the PDE and mass transportation approach
developed by L. Ambrosio, F. Stra and D. Trevisan.

“Equilibrium Bid-Price Dispersion”
Speaker: Albert Menkveld (VU Amsterdam),
_https://albertjmenkveld.com/about/ <https://albertjmenkveld.com/about/>
_
Abstract: If bidding in a common-value auction is costly and if bidders
do not know how many others are also bidding, all equilibria are in
mixed strategies. Participation is probabilistic and bid prices are
dispersed. The symmetric equilibrium is unique and yields simple
analytic expressions. We use them to, for example, show that bid prices
exhibit negative skewness. The expressions are further used to estimate
the model based on bidding on an S&P500 security. We find that the
number of bidders declined over time, making liquidity supply fragile.

Avviso di Seminario
Speaker: Michele Salvi (Università di Roma Tor Vergata)
Orario: Lunedì 14 dicembre, ore 13
Titolo: Scale-free percolation in continuous space
Link al collegamento su Teams:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MWI2ZWY1N2QtMTQ3Zi00…
Abstract: The scale-free percolation random graph features three
fundamental
properties that are often present in large real-world structures
(social networks, communication networks, inter-banking systems and so
on), but which are never present at once in classical models: (1)
Scale-free: the degree of the nodes follows a power law; (2)
Small-world: two nodes are typically at a very small graph distance;
(3) Positive clustering coefficient: two nodes with a common neighbour
have a good chance to be linked. We study a continuous version of
scale-free percolation and its possible application to the statistical
analysis of a dataset provided by the French Ministry of Agriculture.
We discuss some stochastic processes (random walks and particle
systems) on this kind of structures with the final goal of
understanding how an epidemic would spread.

Title: Detecting anomalies in complex networks
18 DECEMBER (Friday) - 11:30 zoom link: TBA
(available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ )
Abstract: Recently there has been an increasing interest in the development
of statistical techniques and algorithms that exploit the structure of
large complex-network data to analyze networks more efficiently. For this
talk, I will focus on detection problems. In this context, the goal is to
detect the presence of some sort of anomaly in the network, and possibly
even identify the nodes/edges responsible. Our work is inspired by the
problem of detecting so-called botnets. Examples are fake user profiles in
a social network or servers infected by a computer virus on the internet.
Typically a botnet represents a potentially malicious anomaly in the
network, and thus it is of great practical interest to detect its presence
and, when detected, to identify the corresponding vertices.
Accordingly, numerous empirical studies have analyzed botnet detection
problems and techniques. However, theoretical models and algorithmic
guarantees are missing so far.
We introduce a simplified model for a botnet, and approach the detection
problem from a statistical perspective. More precisely, under the null
hypothesis we model the network as a sample from a geometric random graph,
whereas under the alternative hypothesis there are a few botnet vertices
that ignore the underlying geometry and simply connect to other vertices in
an independent fashion. We present two statistical tests to detect the
presence of these botnets, and we show that they are asymptotically
powerful, i.e., they correctly distinguish the null and the alternative
with probability tending to one as the number of vertices increases. We
also propose a method to identify the botnet vertices. We will argue, using
numerical simulations, that our tests perform well for finite networks,
even when the underlying graph model is slightly perturbed. Our work is not
limited in scope to botnet detection, and in fact is relevant whenever the
nature of the anomaly to be detected is a change in the underlying
connection criteria.
Based on joint work with Kay Bogerd (TU/e), Rui Pires da Silva Castro
(TU/e) and Remco van der Hofstad (TU/e).

Dear colleagues,
This mail is to announce a new online seminar series on the “Mathematics of
Reaction Networks” (MoRN). Reaction networks are mathematical models mainly
used in biochemistry, with the scope of describing the dynamics of
particles of different kinds that interact in a homogeneous environment.
The mathematics used to study these models sits at the interface of
stochastic process theory, algebra, graph theory, analysis.
The seminar will take place twice a month over zoom (Thursday on the 2nd
and 4th week of the month, 17.00 Rome time), and consist of two 25-minute
long talks followed by longer discussions. The exciting program for the
first three sessions is available on the seminar page:
https://researchseminars.org/seminar/MoRN
The first two talks will be given on Thursday November 12 by David
Anderson from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (he will talk about
connections between neural networks and the modeling regime of reaction
networks) and Lea Popovic from Concordia University (she will introduce a
multiscale stochastic model for interacting particles in a heterogeneous
environment, and study its fluid limit). More details are given in the
seminar webpage.
New talks will appear on the seminar webpage, as well as the zoom link. If
the speaker agrees, talks will be recorded and added to youtube with a
private link, and the link will be shared on the seminar webpage.
On the webpage you can subscribe to a mailing list, and you can add the
seminar into your calendar. We will send a reminder two days before each
talk to subscribed people.
Best wishes,
Daniele Cappelletti (co-organizing the seminar series with Elisenda Feliu
and Stefan Mueller)

Dear friends,
on December 15th, 2020 - 14:30 (cet)
within the Research Seminars of DEM, it will take place the following
webinar:
Taming the spread of an epidemics by lockdown policies
presented by Prof. Ferrari Giorgio, Bielefeld University and organized by
Prof. Paolo Falbo
Abstract
In this talk we consider the problem of a policymaker who aims at taming the
spread of an epidemic while minimizing its associated social costs. The main
feature of our model lies in the fact that the disease's transmission rate
is a diffusive stochastic process whose trend can be adjusted via costly
confinement policies. We provide a complete theoretical analysis, as well as
numerical experiments illustrating the structure of the optimal lockdown
policy. In all our experiments the latter is characterized by three distinct
periods: the epidemic is first let freely evolve, then vigorously tamed, and
finally a less stringent containment should be adopted. Moreover, the
optimal containment policy is such that the product "reproduction number x
percentage of susceptible" is kept after a certain date strictly below the
critical level of one, although the reproduction number is let oscillate
above one in the last more relaxed phase of lockdown. Finally, an increase
in the fluctuations of the transmission rate is shown to give rise to an
earlier beginning of the optimal lockdown policy, which is also diluted over
a longer period of time. The seminar is based on a joint work with Salvatore
Federico (University of Genova).
Live presentation on: Google Meet.
To participate, registration is required by 14 December 2020 at 12:00, by
