Seminar by Katia Colaneri in Milan (25.01.23)
by Valeria Bignozzi 23 May '23

23 May '23

Dear all, you're invited to the seminar that will take place, in hybrid mode, at the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca. More details: • Speaker: Katia Colaneri (email: katia.colaneri(a)uniroma2.it <mailto:katia.colaneri@uniroma2.it>) Title: Some Optimisation Problems in Insurance with a Terminal Distribution Constraint Abstract: In this paper, we study two optimisation settings for an insurance company, under the constraint that the terminal surplus at a deterministic and finite time T follows a normal distribution with a given mean and a given variance. In both cases, the surplus of the insurance company is assumed to follow a Brownian motion with drift. First, we allow the insurance company to pay dividends and seek to maximise the expected discounted dividend payments or to minimise the ruin probability under the terminal distribution constraint. Here, we find explicit expressions for the optimal strategies in both cases, when the dividend strategy is updated at discrete points in time and continuously in time. Second, we let the insurance company buy a reinsurance contract for a pool of insured or a branch of business. We only allow for piecewise constant reinsurance strategies producing a normally distributed terminal surplus, whose mean and variance lead to a given Value at Risk or Expected Shortfall at some confidence level α. We investigate the question which admissible reinsurance strategy produces a smaller ruin probability, if the ruin-checks are due at discrete deterministic points in time. This presentation is based on a joint work with Julia Eisenberg (TU Vienna) and Benedetta Salterini (University of Firenze) Seminar venue: University of Milano-Bicocca Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods Aula Seminari 4026, 4th floor, Building U7 January 25th, 4:30 pm Webex Link : https://unimib.webex.com/unimib/j.php?MTID=m40cd4bb0d7bb8035ca68f3821f453b33 <https://unimib.webex.com/unimib/j.php?MTID=m40cd4bb0d7bb8035ca68f3821f453b33> Join by meeting number Meeting number (access code): 2743 983 3965 Meeting password: c2uJfPBVe83 (22853728 from phones) Best regards, Valeria

Seminar: Giovanni Conforti at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 1st, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Giovanni Conforti (École Polytechnique) with the seminar "A probabilistic approach to exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm" Abstract: The entropic optimal transport problem (EOT) is obtained adding an entropic regularisation term in the cost function of the Monge-Kantorovich problem and is nowadays regularly employed in machine learning applications as a more tractable and numerically more stable version of the optimal transport problem. On the other hand, E.Schrödinger asked back in 1931 the question of finding the most likely evolution of a cloud of independent Brownian particles conditionally to observations. The mathematical formulation of his question through large deviations theory is known as the Schrödinger problem and turns out to be fully equivalent to EOT. In this talk, I shall illustrate both viewpoints and then move on to sketch the ideas of a probabilistic method to show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm, whose application the heart of the recent successful applications of EOT in statistical machine learning and beyond. In particular, we shall discuss how the proposed method opens new perspective for showing exponential convergence for marginal distribution that are non compactly supported. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the event on Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project Math@TOV.

SPASS Seminar: Dejun Luo
by Francesco Grotto 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Convergence rates and CLT for stochastic inviscid Leray-model with transport noise* *Dejun Luo* (Chinese Academy of Science) The seminar will take place on TUE, 31.1.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *The stochastic inviscid Leray- model perturbed by multiplicative transport noise is considered on the torus. Under a suitable scaling of the noise, it is shown that the weak solutions converge, in some negative Sobolev spaces, to the unique solution of the deterministic viscous Leray- model. Interpreting such limit result as a law of large numbers, we also study the underlying central limit theorem and provide an explicit convergence rate. This talk is based on a joint work with PhD Bin Tang.*
