Quantum stroboscopy for time measurements

Seth Lloyd, Lorenzo Maccone, Lionel Martellini +1

Mielnik's cannonball argument uses the Zeno effect to argue that projective measurements for time of arrival are impossible. If one repeatedly measures the position of a particle (…

Time-of-arrival distributions for continuous quantum systems and application to quantum backflow

Mathieu Beau, Maximilien Barbier, Rafael Martellini +1

Using standard results from statistics, we show that for any continuous quantum system (Gaussian or otherwise) and any observable (position or otherwise), the distrib…

Quantum delay in the time of arrival of free-falling atoms

Mathieu Beau, Lionel Martellini

Using standard results from statistics, we show that for Gaussian quantum systems the distribution of a time measurement at a fixed position can be directly inferred from the distr…

Option Pricing Incorporating Factor Dynamics in Complete Markets

Yuan Hu, Abootaleb Shirvani, W. Brent Lindquist +2

Using the Donsker-Prokhorov invariance principle we extend the Kim-Stoyanov-Rachev-Fabozzi option pricing model to allow for variably-spaced trading instances, an important conside…

Choosing the Right Return Distribution and the Excess Volatility Puzzle

Abootaleb Shirvani, Frank J. Fabozzi

Proponents of behavioral finance have identified several "puzzles" in the market that are inconsistent with rational finance theory. One such puzzle is the "excess volatility puzzl…

Option Pricing with Mixed Levy Subordinated Price Process and Implied Probability Weighting Function

Abootaleb Shirvani, Yuan Hu, Svetlozar T. Rachev +1

It is essential to incorporate the impact of investor behavior when modeling the dynamics of asset returns. In this paper, we reconcile behavioral finance and rational finance by i…

Modelling Crypto Asset Price Dynamics, Optimal Crypto Portfolio, and Crypto Option Valuation

Yuan Hu, Svetlozar T. Rachev, Frank J. Fabozzi

Despite being described as a medium of exchange, cryptocurrencies do not have the typical attributes of a medium of exchange. Consequently, cryptocurrencies are more appropriately…

Another Look at the Ho-Lee Bond Option Pricing Model

Young Shin Kim, Stoyan Stoyanov, Svetlozar Rachev +1

In this paper, we extend the classical Ho-Lee binomial term structure model to the case of time-dependent parameters and, as a result, resolve a drawback associated with the model.…

Option pricing for Informed Traders

Stoyan V. Stoyanov, Yong Shin Kim, Svetlozar T. Rachev +1

In this paper we extend the theory of option pricing to take into account and explain the empirical evidence for asset prices such as non-Gaussian returns, long-range dependence, v…

Multi-Purpose Binomial Model: Fitting all Moments to the Underlying Geometric Brownian Motion

Y. S. Kim, S. Stoyanov, S. Rachev +1

We construct a binomial tree model fitting all moments to the approximated geometric Brownian motion. Our construction generalizes the classical Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, the Jarrow-Rud…
