de Finetti risk seminar - march 2019
by Emanuela Rosazza 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture Entropic and dynamic optimal transport Giuseppe Savaré Dipartimento di Matematica “Felice Casorati”, Università di Pavia Abstract: We will briefly review various equivalent characterizations of Optimal Transport and we will show that a simple relaxation of its Benamou-Brenier dynamic formulation leads to the new class of Optimal Entropy- Transport problems, combining entropic and transport costs. We will discuss the particular example of the Hellinger-Kantorovich metric, which provides a natural geometric way to measure the distance between positive measures with possibly different masses. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, March 13, at 18.00 at room 3-E4-SR03, Bocconi University, Via Rontgen 1, 3rd floor, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30.

Seminario di Elena Bandini a Bologna (nuovo orario)
by Alberto Lanconelli 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Statistics Seminars 2019 Martedì 12 marzo 2019 ore 10 Aula II, Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, piano terra "BSDEs driven by a general random measure and optimal control for piecewise deterministic Markov processes" Dott.ssa Elena Bandini, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Abstract: We consider an optimal control problem for piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMP) on a bounded state space. Here a pair of controls acts continuously on the deterministic flow and on the transition measure describing the jump dynamics of the process. For this class of control problems, the value function can be characterized as the unique viscosity solution to the corresponding integro-differential Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation with a non-local type boundary condition. We are able to provide a probabilistic representation for the value function in terms of a suitable backward stochastic differential equation, known as nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula. The jump mechanism from the boundary entails the presence of predictable jumps in the PDMP dynamics, so that the associated BSDE turns out to be driven by a random measure with predictable jumps. Existence and uniqueness results for such a class of equations are non-trivial and are related to recent works on well-posedness for BSDEs driven by non quasi-left-continuous random measures" Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Alberto Lanconelli Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Paolo Fortunati" Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna

Seminario di Piergiacomo Sabino a Bologna
by Alberto Lanconelli 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Statistics Seminars 2019 Lunedì 4 Marzo 2019 ore 15 Aula seminari - Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, I piano “Forward or backward simulation? A comparative study” Dr. Piergiacomo Sabino - Uniper Global Commodities SE, Dusseldorf Abstract:"The aim of this study is to present algorithms for the backward simulation of standard processes that are commonly used in financial applications. We extend the works of Ribeiro and Webber and Avramidis and L’Ecuyer on gamma bridge and obtain the backward construction of a Gamma process. Moreover, we are able to write a novel acceptance-rejection algorithm to simulate Inverse Gaussian (IG) processes backward in time. Therefore, using the time-change approach, we can easily get the backward generation of the Compound Poisson with infinitely divisible jumps, the Variance–Gamma the Normal–Inverse–Gaussian processes and then the time-changed version of the OU process (SubOU) introduced by Li and Linetsky. We then compare the computational costs of the sequential and backward path generation of such processes and show the advantages of adopting the latter one, in particular in the context of pricing American options or energy facilities like gas storages."
