Signature-based validation of real-world economic scenarios

Hervé Andrès, Alexandre Boumezoued, Benjamin Jourdain

Motivated by insurance applications, we propose a new approach for the validation of real-world economic scenarios. This approach is based on the statistical test developed by Chev…

The Faa di Bruno Hopf algebra for multivariable feedback recursions in the center problem for higher order Abel equations

Kurusch Ebrahimi-Fard, W. Steven Gray

Poincare's center problem asks for conditions under which a planar polynomial system of ordinary differential equations has a center. It is well understood that the Abel equation n…

Diffusions under a local strong Hörmander condition. Part I: density estimates

Vlad Bally, Lucia Caramellino, Paolo Pigato

We study lower and upper bounds for the density of a diffusion process in in a small (but not asymptotic) time, say . We assume that the diffusion coefficients…

Asymptotics for the normalized error of the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme

Anis Al Gerbi, Benjamin Jourdain, Emmanuelle Clément

In a previous work, we proved strong convergence with order of the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme with time step to the solution of the limiting SDE. In this pa…

Equilibrium pricing under relative performance concerns

Jana Bielagk, Arnaud Lionnet, Goncalo Dos Reis

We investigate the effects of the social interactions of a finite set of agents on an equilibrium pricing mechanism. A derivative written on non-tradable underlyings is introduced…

Coupling Importance Sampling and Multilevel Monte Carlo using Sample Average Approximation

Ahmed Kebaier, Jérôme Lelong

In this work, we propose a smart idea to couple importance sampling and Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC). We advocate a per level approach with as many importance sampling parameters…

Optimal convergence rate of the multitype sticky particle approximation of one-dimensional diagonal hyperbolic systems with monotonic initial data

Benjamin Jourdain, Julien Reygner

Brenier and Grenier [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 1998] proved that sticky particle dynamics with a large number of particles allow to approximate the entropy solution to scalar one-dimen…

Simulation of BSDEs with jumps by Wiener Chaos Expansion

Christel Geiss, Céline Labart

We present an algorithm to solve BSDEs with jumps based on Wiener Chaos Expansion and Picard's iterations. This paper extends the results given in Briand-Labart (2014) to the case…

Reducing the debt : is it optimal to outsource an investment?

Gilles Edouard Espinosa, Caroline Hillairet, Benjamin Jourdain +1

We deal with the problem of outsourcing the debt for a big investment, according two situations: either the firm outsources both the investment (and the associated debt) and the ex…
