TITLE: The dividend problem with a finite horizon
ABSTRACT: We characterize the value function of the optimal dividend
problem with a finite time horizon as the unique classical solution
of a suitable Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. The optimal dividend
strategy is realized by a Skorokhod reflection of the fund's value at
a time-dependent optimal boundary.
Our results are obtained by establishing for the first time a new
connection between singular control problems with an absorbing
boundary and optimal stopping problems on a diffusion reflected at an
elastic boundary.

Venerdi 25 Novembre 2016 alle ore 12:00,
presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto,
Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario:
Bruno SCARPA (Università di Padova)
BAYESIAN MODELLING OF NETWORKS IN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PROBLEMS
Complex network data problems are increasingly common in many fields of application. Our motivation is drawn from strategic marketing studies monitoring customer choices of specific products, along with co-subscription networks encoding multiple purchasing behavior. Data are available for several agencies within the same insurance company, and our goal is to efficently exploit co-subscription networks to inform targeted advertising of cross-sell strategies to currently mono-product customers. We address this goal by developing a Bayesian hierarchical model, which clusters agencies according to common mono-product customer choices and co-subscription networks. Within each cluster, we efficiently model customer behavior via a cluster-dependent mixture of latent eigenmodels. This formulation provides key information on mono-product customer choices and multiple purchasing behavior within each cluster, informing targeted cross-sell strategies. We develop simple algorithms for tractable inference, and assess performance in simulations and an application to business intelligence.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative
(http://www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il
Collegio Carlo Alberto.
Cordiali saluti,

Calling Outstanding Young Researchers ? Application Tool Open!
The application process for the 5th Heidelberg Laureate Forum has started.
Young researchers in computer science and mathematics from all over the world
can apply for one of the 200 coveted spots to participate in the Heidelberg
Laureate Forum (HLF), an annual networking event. The HLF offers all accepted
young researchers the great opportunity to personally interact with the
laureates of the most prestigious prizes in the fields of mathematics and
computer science. For one week, the recipients of the Abel Prize, the ACM A.M.
Turing Award, the ACM Prize in Computing, the Fields Medal, and the Nevanlinna
Prize engage in a cross-generational scientific dialogue with young researchers
in Heidelberg, Germany.
The application period for the 5th HLF runs from November 14, 2016 until
February 14, 2017. Young researchers at all phases of their careers (undergrad,
PhD or postdoc) are encouraged to complete and submit their applications by
February 14 (midnight at the dateline) via the following link:
http://application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org
The 5th HLF will take place from September 24 to 29, 2017 (with young
researcher registration on September 23). This prominent, versatile event
combines scientific, social and outreach activities in an informal atmosphere,
fueled by comprehensive exchange and scientific inspiration. Laureate lectures,
young researcher workshops and a structure welcoming unfettered discussions are
the elements that compose the Forum?s platform.
Over the course of the week-long HLF, young researchers will be given the
exclusive possibility to profoundly connect with their scientific role models
and find out how the laureates made it to the top of their fields. As described
by a young researcher at the 4th HLF, ?The best professional experience of my
life. I thought that receiving my PhD was the most ultimate event and
highlight, but the HLF tops even that.?
All applications that are completed and submitted by the deadline are
meticulously reviewed by an international committee of experts to ensure that
only the most qualified candidates are invited. There are 100 spaces available
for each discipline of mathematics and computer science. All applicants will be
notified by the end of April 2017 whether or not they will be invited.
For questions regarding requirements and the application process, please
contact Young Researchers Relations at:
yr(a)heidelberg-laureate-forum.org<mailto:yr@heidelberg-laureate-forum.org>

Background
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF) annually organizes the
Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), which is a networking event for mathematicians
and computer scientists from all over the world. The 5th Heidelberg Laureate
Forum will take place from September 24 to 29, 2017. The HLFF was established
and is funded by the German foundation the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS), which
promotes natural sciences, mathematics and computer science. The Scientific
Partners of the HLFF are the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies
(HITS) and Heidelberg University. The HLF is strongly supported by the
award-granting institutions, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the
International Mathematical Union (IMU), and the Norwegian Academy of Science
and Letters (DNVA).

PLACING A BET ON MORE THAN ONE HOLE AT THE ROULETTE TABLE
Abstract:
In Dynamic Programming, mixed strategies consist of randomizing the
choice of actions. In some problems, such as portfolio management, it
makes sense to diversify actions rather than choosing among them
purely or randomly. Optimal betting in casinos and roulette by a
gambler with fixed goal was studied by Dubins and Savage 1965 and
their school without the element of diversification (betting
simultaneously on different holes of the roulette), once it was proved
(Smith's theorem - Smith 1967, Dubins 1972 and Gilat and Weiss 1976)
that diversification doesn't increase the probability of reaching the
goal. We question the scope of this finding, that was based on the
assumption that the holes on which gamblers can bet are disjoint, such
as 1 and BLACK in regular roulette. A counterexample is provided in
which holes are nested, such as 1 and RED. Thus, it may be rational
for gamblers with fixed goal to place chips on more than one hole at
the table.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
