de Finetti risk seminar
by Emanuela Rosazza 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Gentile Prof. Cambini, Le sarei grata se potesse inoltrare il seguente avviso di messaggio. La ringrazio anticipatamente e saluto cordialmente, Emanuela --- On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture A mathematical model of learning reward uncertainty in the brain Rafal Bogacz Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford Abstract: To maximise their chances for survival, humans and animals need to base their decisions not only on the average consequences of chosen actions, but also on the variability of the rewards resulting from these actions. For example, when ones food reserves are depleted, one should prefer to forage in an area where food is guaranteed, rather than an area where the amount of food is higher on average but variable, thus avoiding the risk of starvation. To implement such policies, the brain needs to be able to learn about variability of rewards resulting from taking different actions. This talk will present a simple mathematical model describing how such learning may be implemented in the brain. The models suggests how the information about reward uncertainty is used by the brain to make decisions that not only maximize expected rewards but also take risks into account. The models is consistent with a wide range of experimental data from neuroscience. The talk will also include a discussion of the relationship between the model and the probability weighting functions from the prospect theory. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, March 27, at 15.00 at room 3-E4-SR03, Bocconi University, Via Rontgen 1, 3rd floor, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 14.45.

Seminario di Paolo Di Tella a Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday, April 5th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata, in the framework of the activities supported by the MIUR Excellence Department Project CUP E83C18000100006. Speaker: Paolo Di Tella Title: On The Weak Representation Property in Progressively Enlarged Filtrations with an Application in Exponential Utility Maximization Abstract: In this talk we show that the weak representation property of a semimartingale $X$ with respect to a filtration $\mathbb{F}$ is preserved in the progressive enlargement $\mathbb{G}$ by a random time $\tau$ avoiding $\mathbb{F}$-stopping times and such that $\mathbb{F}$ is immersed in $\mathbb{G}$. As an application of this, we can solve an exponential utility maximization problem in the enlarged filtration $\mathbb{G}$ following the dynamical approach, based on suitable BSDEs, both over the fixed-time horizon $[0,T]$, $T>0$, and over the random-time horizon $[0,T\wedge\tau]$.

Workshop on Random Dynamical Systems and Anomalous Dynamics, Londra 20-22 Marzo 2019
by Enrico Scalas 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Car* collegh*, se siete a Londra dal 20 al 22 marzo, vi puo' interessare questo workshop che si terra' all'Imperial College organizzato da Yuzuru Sato, Rainer Klages e Jeroen Lamb: http://lml.org.uk/event/workshop-on-random-dynamical-systems-and-anomalous-… Workshop aim: This workshop brings together theoretical physicists and mathematicians working on dynamical systems and stochastic processes. An emphasis is on the recent active fields of random dynamical systems and anomalous stochastic dynamics. The former refers to chaotic dynamical systems that are coupled to noise. This combination can create novel phenomena such as anomalous diffusion, stochastic bifurcations, and varieties of noise-induced phenomena. To describe them requires a new mathematical language defining objects such as random attractors, perturbed invariant measures, bifurcations, and rare event statistics. Anomalous dynamics denotes processes whose mean square displacement, unlike that of Brownian motion, grows non-linearly in time. They exhibit non-trivial properties related to non-Gaussian probability distributions, such as power-law decay of correlations, sub- or super-diffusion and ergodicity breaking. However, the emergence of such phenomena from deterministic dynamics is poorly understood. By bridging the gap between the dynamical systems and applied stochastic processes communities we aim to advance this understanding. Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas

Seminario di Stefano Pagliarani a Pisa
by Dario Trevisan 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Cari colleghi, annuncio il seguente seminario che si terrà lunedì 25 marzo, alle 14:00, nella Sala Seminari presso il dipartimento di Matematica dell'università degli studi di Pisa. Dear colleagues, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Monday, 25 March 2019, at 2 PM, in Sala Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa. #### Speaker: Stefano Pagliarani (Università degli studi di Udine) Title: Contraction methods for a class of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps. Abstract: We consider two prototype classes of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps. In the first case, the coefficient is assumed to be affine in the state-variable, only measurable in the law, and the dynamics allow for Lévy jumps. We study the equivalent functional fixed-point equation for the unknown time-dependent coefficients of the associated Markovian SDE. By proving a contraction property for the functional map in a suitable normed space, we infer existence and uniqueness results for the MK-V SDE, and derive a discretized Picard iteration method that approximates the law of the solution. Numerical illustrations show the effectiveness of the method, which appears to be appropriate to handle multi-dimensional settings. We finally describe possible extensions and generalizations to more general settings. The second class of MKV SDEs that we consider allows for self-exicitng jumps, which amounts to having jumps through hitting the boundary in the equivalent large particle system. The corresponding PDE problem is a particular instance of free-boundary problems known as supercooled Stefan-like problems. We write a Volterra equation for the free boundary and prove contraction results that are useful to determine the properties of the solution and to provide convergent numerical schemes. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/
