AbstractIn this paper we determine lowest cost strategies for given payoff distributions called cost-efficient strategies in multivariate exponential Lévy models where the pricing is based on the multivariate Esscher martingale measure. This multivariate framework allows to deal with dependent price processes as arising in typical applications. Dependence of the components of the Lévy Process implies an influence even on the pricing of efficient versions of univariate payoffs.We state various relevant existence and uniqueness results for the Esscher parameter and determine cost efficient strategies in particular in the case of price processes driven by multivariate NIG- and VG-processes. From a monotonicity characterization of efficient payoffs we obtain that basket options are generally inefficient in Lévy markets when pricing is based on the Esscher measure.We determine efficient versions of the basket options in real market data and show that the proposed cost efficient strategies are also feasible from a numerical viewpoint. As a result we find that a considerable efficiency loss may arise when using the inefficient payoffs.

Abstract We consider groupoids constructed from a finite number of commuting local homeomorphisms acting on a compact metric space and study generalized Ruelle operators and $ C^{\ast } $ -algebras associated to these groupoids. We provide a new characterization of $ 1 $ -cocycles on these groupoids taking values in a locally compact abelian group, given in terms of $ k $ -tuples of continuous functions on the unit space satisfying certain canonical identities. Using this, we develop an extended Ruelle–Perron–Frobenius theory for dynamical systems of several commuting operators ( $ k $ -Ruelle triples and commuting Ruelle operators). Results on KMS states on $ C^{\ast } $ -algebras constructed from these groupoids are derived. When the groupoids being studied come from higher-rank graphs, our results recover existence and uniqueness results for KMS states associated to the graphs.

AbstractWe introduce and study a new kind of nonlocal boundary value problems of multi-term fractional differential equations. The existence and uniqueness results for the given problem are obtained by applying standard fixed point theorems. We also construct some examples for demonstrating the application of the main results.

In this paper, we give existence and uniqueness results for backward stochastic differential equations when the generator has a polynomial growth in the state variable. We deal with the case of a fixed terminal time, as well as the case of random terminal time. The need for this type of extension of the classical existence and uniqueness results comes from the desire to provide a probabilistic representation of the solutions of semilinear partial differential equations in the spirit of a nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula. Indeed, in many applications of interest, the nonlinearity is polynomial, e.g, the Allen-Cahn equation or the standard nonlinear heat and Schrödinger equations.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce a two-point boundary value problem for a finite fractional difference equation with a perturbation term. By applying spectral theory, an associated Green’s function is constructed as a series of functions and some of its properties are obtained. Under suitable conditions on the nonlinear part of the equation, some existence and uniqueness results are deduced.

A virus that causes hepatitis E is known as (HEV) and regarded on of the reason for lever inflammation. In mathematical aspects a very low attention has been paid to HEV dynamics. Therefore, the present work explores the HEV dynamics in fractional derivative. The Caputo–Fabriizo derivative is used to study the dynamics of HEV. First, the essential properties of the model will be presented and then describe the HEV model with CF derivative. Application of fixed point theory is used to obtain the existence and uniqueness results associated to the model. By using Adams–Bashfirth numerical scheme the solution is obtained. Some numerical results and tables for arbitrary order derivative are presented.

In this paper, we propose sequential fractional delta-nabla sum-difference equations with nonlocal fractional delta-nabla sum boundary conditions. The Banach contraction principle and the Schauder’s fixed point theorem are used to prove the existence and uniqueness results of the problem. The different orders in one fractional delta differences, one fractional nabla differences, two fractional delta sum, and two fractional nabla sum are considered. Finally, we present an illustrative example.

Translocation of dead wood is a novel method for ecological compensation and restoration that could, potentially, provide a new important tool for biodiversity conservation. With this method, substrates that normally have long delivery times are instantly created in a compensation area, and ideally many of the associated dead wood dwelling organisms are translocated together with the substrates. However, to a large extent, there is a lack of knowledge about the cost efficiency of different methods of ecological compensation. Therefore, the costs for different parts of a translocation process and its dependency on some influencing factors were studied. The observed cost was 465 SEK per translocated log for the actual compensation measure, with an additional 349 SEK/log for work to enable evaluation of the translocation’s ecological results. Based on time studies, models were developed to predict required work time and costs for different transportation distances and load sizes. Those models indicated that short extraction and insertion distances for logs should be prioritized over road transportation distances to minimize costs. They also highlighted a trade-off between costs and time until a given ecological value is reached in the compensation area. The methodology used can contribute to more cost-efficient operations and, by doing so, increase the use of ecological compensation and the benefits from a given input.
