In an optimal variance stopping problem the goal is to determine the stopping time at which the variance of a sequentially observed stochastic process is maximized. A solution method for such a problem has been recently provided by Pedersen (2011). Using the methodology developed by Pedersen and Peskir (2012), our aim is to show that the solution to the initial problem can be equivalently obtained by constraining the variance stopping problem to the expected size of the stopped process and then by maximizing the solution to the latter problem over all the admissible constraints. An application to a diffusion process used for modeling the dynamics of interest rates illustrates the proposed technique.

Premium is a sum of money that must be paid by insurance participants to insurance company, based on  insurance contract. Premium payment are affected by interest rates. The interest rates change according to stochastic process. The purpose of this work is to calculate the price of joint life insurance premiums with Vasicek and CIR models. The price of a joint life insurance premium with Vasicek and CIR models, at the age of the insured 35 and 30 years has increased until the last year of the contract. The price of a joint life insurance premium with Vasicek model is more expensive than the premium price using CIR model.

AbstractThe use of decreasing rearrangement formulas, and particularly that of the weak N inequality, is illustrated by deriving from Eτ |f-f(τ -)|≤Eτu (where ft is some stochastic process and τ arbitrary stopping time) the estimate ||f||≤Const||u|| in the class of structureless norms with finite dual Hardy bound.The basic estimate is

The following problem in risk theory is considered. An insurance company, endowed with an initial capital a ≥ 0, receives premiums and pays out claims that occur according to a renewal process {N(t), t ≥ 0}. The times between consecutive claims are i.i.d. The sequence of successive claims is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. The capital of the company is invested at interest rate α ∊ [0,1], claims increase at rate β ∊ [0,1]. The aim is to find the stopping time that maximizes the capital of the company. A dynamic programming method is used to find the optimal stopping time and to specify the expected capital at that time.

In stock market, the stock prices directly reflects market condition, therefore, the research on stock price process is one of the research contents of mathematical finance. In this paper by using the election model of statistical physics model to study the stock price fluctuation . This paper first applying stochastic process theory to establish election model, then the election model and stopping time theory are applied to establish stock profit process, we get the stock price process.

Interest rate modelling is an interesting aspect of stochastic processes. It has been observed that interest rates fluctuates at random times, hence the need for its modelling as a stochastic process. In this paper, we apply the existing Vasicek model, Itô’s lemma and least-square regression method in the modelling and providing dynamics for a given interest rate.

We assume that the filtrationFis generated by ad-dimensional Brownian motionW=(W1,…,Wd)′as well as an integer-valued random measureμ(du,dy). The random variableτ~is the default time andLis the default loss. LetG={Gt;t≥0}be the progressive enlargement ofFby(τ~,L); that is,Gis the smallest filtration includingFsuch thatτ~is aG-stopping time andLisGτ~-measurable. We mainly consider the forward CDS with loss in the framework of stochastic interest rates whose term structures are modeled by the Heath-Jarrow-Morton approach with jumps under the general conditional density hypothesis. We describe the dynamics of the defaultable bond inGand the forward CDS with random loss explicitly by the BSDEs method.
