Seminario di probabilità e statistica matematica Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo Lunedì 3 aprile, ore 16:00 Mauro Piccioni (Università di Roma La Sapienza) terrà una conferenza dal titolo: How it happened (to me) to meet ? Summary: The function ? was defined by Minkowski with the purpose of mapping quadratic irrationals bijectively onto the rationals of (0,1) (in addition, it maps the rationals onto the dyadic rationals). It has remarkable self-similarity properties and it maps (increasingly) the interval [0,1] into itself, with an almost everywhere vanishing derivative. For this reason it has been named the slippery devil’s staircase (to distinguish it from the Cantor set distribution function, which, not being strictly increasing, is not slippery!). In the talk we will obtain it as the equilibrium law of a random walk on the homogeneous space (H,PSL_2(Z)) where H is the upper half-plane in the complex plane and PSL_2(Z) is the modular group. The random walk walk drifts towards the real line with a limit in law X whose image under the function |x|v|x|^{-1} has distribution function ?. In proving this, the characterization of a ?-distributed random variable Y in term of its continued fraction expansion is also obtained. This is a joint work with Gerard Letac. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

by Giorgia Callegaro 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Dear all, this is to invite you to the PhD course which will be given next week by Costantinos Kardaras (LSE) at the Mathematics Department of the University of Padova. All the details follow: *Title*: *Growth optimality and recent applications to probability* *Timetable*: - April 3rd, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 4th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 5th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 6th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 7th, 2017, 16:00 - 17:30 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 *Course requirements*: Probability and Stochastic Calculus *SSD*: MAT/06 and SECS-S/06 *Aim*: This course aims at providing an overview on recent developments in the Mathematical Finance research field, having as a central idea in mind the role of the growth optimal portfolio. Course contents: These lectures will touch upon recent developments in the applied probability, and more precisely mathematical finance. The vessel that is used to connect different topics is that of growth optimality, a notion that has proved extremely fruitful. A representative collection of what will be covered are applications in arbitrage theory, constrained optimisation, filtration enlargement, and semimartingale theory. Other areas of application, such as economics, robust optimisation, and even functional analysis, will be also discussed (if time permits).

Seminar announcement, prof A. Cerny - LUISS G. Carli Roma
by Sara 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

Dear all, Professor A. Cerny from Cass will be visiting LUISS and on Tuesday April 4, at 12 in Room A410 -- viale Romania he will give the following seminar: *Optimal trade execution under endogenous pressure to liquidate: theory and numerical solutions* We study optimal liquidation of a large trading position in a market with a temporary price impact. We endogenize the pressure to liquidate and hence allow the time horizon of liquidation to be determined endogenously, as part of the optimal strategy. The corresponding HJB equation leads to a severely singular initial value problem whose numerical solution we also study. In contrast to much of the existing literature spreading the liquidation strategy over a longer horizon is not necessarily beneficial to the trader.

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Eva Fiserova e Karel Hron
by Laura M. Sangalli 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Si avvisa che in data 06-04-2017, alle ore 14:00 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatori: Eva Fiserova e Karel Hron, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic Titolo: Regression analysis for compositional data from perspective of the logratio approach Sommario: Regression analysis is an important tool for analysing the relationships between the response variable and known explanatory variables. When the response variables or explanatory variables are compositional, i.e. multivariate observations carrying only relative information (proportions, percentages), a special treatment in regression is necessary. Compositional data are characterized by the simplex sample space with the Aitchison geometry that forms the Euclidean structure. Proper statistical methodology for this kind of observations is the logratio methodology that enables to express the data isometrically in the real Euclidean space where it is possible to apply standard statistical tools (Aitchison, 1986; Pawlowsky-Glahn et al., 2015). The lecture is focused on three main regression tasks, where compositional data are involved: either regression with a compositional response variable, or regression with compositional explanatory variables, or regression between parts of a composition. The main methodological approach for dealing with compositional regression is based on orthonormal logratio coordinates. Although regression models in orthonormal logratio coordinates are theoretically well justified, both the normalizing constants to reach orthonormality and the natural logarithm itself result in quite a complex interpretation of the regression parameters. In the lecture, we will present new orthogonal logratio coordinates (Muller et al., 2017) in order to achieve better interpretability of regression parameters while preserving all important features of regression models for compositional data. Theoretical results will be applied to real-world examples. Docente di riferimento: Alessandra Menafoglio, alessandra.menafoglio(a)polimi.it Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di probabilità e statistica matematica Lunedì 27 marzo, ore 16:00 Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica “Guido Castelnuovo” Sapienza Università di Roma MASSIMO CAMPANINO (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna) Recurrcnce properties for random walks on a two-dimensional random graph. In [1] a random walk on a bi-dimensional random graph was studied. This model had been previously introduced in the physical literature. and studied numerically. It is established in [1] that, in contrast with the corresponding periodic graph, this random walk is transient with probability one with respect to the random environment. Subsequently several papers appeared on related models ([3], [4] [5] [6]). The results of [1] have been used in [7] to study a model of corner percolation on Z2. In [2] transience was obtained on a more general random environment and a transition from recurrence to transience has been proved to occur. At the moment work is going on in collaboration with G. Bosi to study the problem on a honeycomb random graph. [1] M. Campanino, D. Petritis. Random walks on randomly oriented lattices. Markov Process. Relat. Fields 9, 391-412 (2003). [2] M. Campanino, D.

We just mention three of them: 1) The 2017 lecturer is Prof. Bruno Sanso' (University of California at Santa Cruz, USA), an outstanding scholar in Bayesian analysis and modeling with special reference to time series and spatial data. He is the current Editor-in-Chief of Bayesian Analysis, the official ISBA (International Society for Bayesian Analysis) journal, former Member of the Executive Board of TIES (The International Environmetrics Society), former Chair of the ASA (American Statistical Association) Advisory Committee for Climate Change and former Chair of the ISBA Section on Environmental Sciences. 2) The ABS school has a solid reputation in organizing short intensive courses on topics of broad interest. It has been running every year since 2004 with leading researchers presenting state-of-the-art Bayesian methods for applications, combining theoretical lectures and practical sessions, and fostering intereaction among participants in a very stimulating environment. 3) Last but not least, the school will be held in Villa del Grumello, a magnificent villa facing Lake Como, a renowned Italian tourist attraction.
