ANTICIPATED BACKWARD STOCHASTIC VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS WITH JUMPS AND APPLICATIONS TO DYNAMIC RISK MEASURES

In this paper, we focus on anticipated backward stochastic Volterra integral equations(ABSVIEs) with jumps. We solve the problem of the well-posedness of so-called M-solutions to this class of equation, and analytically derive a comparison theorem for them and for the continuous equilibrium consumption process. These continuous equilibrium consumption processes can be described by the solutions to this class of ABSVIE with jumps.Motivated by this, a class of dynamic risk measures induced by ABSVIEs with jumps are discussed.

Homotopy Analysis Method(HAM)is semi-analytic method to solve the linear and nonlinear mathematical models which can be used to obtain the approximate solution.The HAM includes an auxiliary parameter,which is an efficient way to examine and analyze the accuracy of linear and nonlinear problems.The main aim of this work is to explore the approximate solutions of fuzzy Volterra integral equations(both linear and nonlinear)with a separable kernel via HAM.This method provides a reliable way to ensure the convergence of the approximation series.A new general form of HAM is presented and analyzed in the fuzzy domain.A qualitative convergence analysis based on the graphical method of a fuzzy HAM is discussed.The solutions sought by the proposed method show that the HAM is easy to implement and computationally quite attractive.Some solutions of fuzzy second kind Volterra integral equations are solved as numerical examples to show the potential of the method.The results also show that HAM provides an easy way to control and modify the convergence area in order to obtain accurate solutions.

EXTRAPOLATION FOR COLLOCATION METHOD OF THE FIRST KIND VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

1. Introduction It is known that the following Cauchy problem for a parabolic partial differential equation (where the values at the right boundary, u.(1, t)=v(t) are unknown and sought for) is ill-posed: the solution (v) does not depend continuously on the data (g). In order to treat the ill-posedness and develop the numerical method, one reformulates the problem as a Volterra integral equation of the first kind wish a convolution type kernel (see Sneddon [1], Carslaw and Jaeger [2])

On Solving a System of Volterra Integral Equations with Relaxed Monte Carlo Method

A random simulation method was used for treatment of systems of Volterra integral equations of the second kind. Firstly, a linear algebra system was obtained by discretization using quadrature formula. Secondly, this algebra system was solved by using relaxed Monte Carlo method with importance sampling and numerical approximation solutions of the integral equations system were achieved. It is theoretically proved that the validity of relaxed Monte Carlo method is based on importance sampling to solve the integral equations system. Finally, some numerical examples from literatures are given to show the efficiency of the method.

In this paper, we present a brief survey on the updated theory of backward stochas-tic Volterra integral equations （BSVIEs, for short）. BSVIEs are a natural generalization of backward stochastic diff erential equations （BSDEs, for short）. Some interesting motivations of studying BSVIEs are recalled. With proper solution concepts, it is possible to establish the corresponding well-posedness for BSVIEs. We also survey various comparison theorems for solutions to BSVIEs.

Numerical approach for a system of second kind Volterra integral equations in magneto-electro-elastic dynamic problems

The elastodynamic problems of magneto-electro-elastic hollow cylinders in the state of axisymmetric plane strain case can be transformed into two Volterra integral equations of the second kind about two functions with respect to time. Interpolation functions were introduced to approximate two unknown functions in each time subinterval and two new recursive formulae are derived. By using the recursive formulae, numerical results were obtained step by step. Under the same time step, the accuracy of the numerical results by the present method is much higher than that by the traditional quadrature method.

SINGULAR CONTROL OF STOCHASTIC VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

This paper deals with optimal combined singular and regular controls for stochastic Volterra integral equations,where the solution X^(u,ξ)(t)=X(t)is given X(t)=φ(t)+∫_(0)^(t) b(t,s,X(s),u(s))ds+∫_(0)^(t)σ(t,s,X(s),u(s))dB(s)+∫_(0)^(t)h(t,s)dξ(s).by Here d B(s)denotes the Brownian motion It?type differential,ξdenotes the singular control(singular in time t with respect to Lebesgue measure)and u denotes the regular control(absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure).Such systems may for example be used to model harvesting of populations with memory,where X(t)represents the population density at time t,and the singular control processξrepresents the harvesting effort rate.The total income from the harvesting is represented by J(u, ξ) = E[∫_(0)^(t) f_(0)(t,X(t), u(t))dt + ∫_(0)^(t)f_(1)(t,X(t))dξ(t) + g(X(T))] for the given functions f0,f1 and g,where T>0 is a constant denoting the terminal time of the harvesting.Note that it is important to allow the controls to be singular,because in some cases the optimal controls are of this type.Using Hida-Malliavin calculus,we prove sufficient conditions and necessary conditions of optimality of controls.As a consequence,we obtain a new type of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations with singular drift.Finally,to illustrate our results,we apply them to discuss optimal harvesting problems with possibly density dependent prices.

ON SPECTRAL METHODS FOR VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS AND THE CONVERGENCE ANALYSIS

The main purpose of this work is to provide a novel numerical approach for the Volterra integral equations based on a spectral approach. A Legendre-collocation method is proposed to solve the Volterra integral equations of the second kind. We provide a rigorous error analysis for the proposed method, which indicates that the numerical errors decay exponentially provided that the kernel function and the source function are sufficiently smooth. Numerical results confirm the theoretical prediction of the exponential rate of convergence. The result in this work seems to be the first successful spectral approach （with theoretical justification） for the Volterra type equations.

Convergence Analysis for the Chebyshev Collocation Methods to Volterra Integral Equations with a Weakly Singular Kernel

In this paper,a Chebyshev-collocation spectral method is developed for Volterra integral equations(VIEs)of second kind with weakly singular kernel.We first change the equation into an equivalent VIE so that the solution of the new equation possesses better regularity.The integral term in the resulting VIE is approximated by Gauss quadrature formulas using the Chebyshev collocation points.The convergence analysis of this method is based on the Lebesgue constant for the Lagrange interpolation polynomials,approximation theory for orthogonal polynomials,and the operator theory.The spectral rate of convergence for the proposed method is established in the L^(∞)-norm and weighted L^(2)-norm.Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The unique solvability of adapted solutions of BSVIEs in Lp （p 〉 1） is also considered, which also generalizes the results in the existing literature.

On Discontinuous and Continuous Approximations to Second-Kind Volterra Integral Equations

Collocation and Galerkin methods in the discontinuous and globally continuous piecewise polynomial spaces,in short,denoted as DC,CC,DG and CG methods respectively,are employed to solve second-kind Volterra integral equations(VIEs).It is proved that the quadrature DG and CG(QDG and QCG)methods obtained from the DG and CG methods by approximating the inner products by suitable numerical quadrature formulas,are equivalent to the DC and CC methods,respectively.In addition,the fully discretised DG and CG(FDG and FCG)methods are equivalent to the corresponding fully discretised DC and CC(FDC and FCC)methods.The convergence theories are established for DG and CG methods,and their semi-discretised(QDG and QCG)and fully discretized(FDG and FCG)versions.In particular,it is proved that the CG method for second-kind VIEs possesses a similar convergence to the DG method for first-kind VIEs.Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical results.

An Approximate Approach for Systems of Singular Volterra Integral Equations Based on Taylor Expansion

In this article, an extended Taylor expansion method is proposed to estimate the solution of linear singular Volterra integral equations systems. The method is based on combining the m-th order Taylor polynomial of unknown functions at an arbitrary point and integration method, such that the given system of singular integral equations is converted into a system of linear equations with respect to unknown functions and their derivatives. The required solutions are obtained by solving the resulting linear system. The proposed method gives a very satisfactory solution,which can be performed by any symbolic mathematical packages such as Maple, Mathematica, etc. Our proposed approach provides a significant advantage that the m-th order approximate solutions are equal to exact solutions if the exact solutions are polynomial functions of degree less than or equal to m. We present an error analysis for the proposed method to emphasize its reliability. Six numerical examples are provided to show the accuracy and the efficiency of the suggested scheme for which the exact solutions are known in advance.

Linear Volterra Integral Equations as the Limit of Discrete Systems

We consider the multidimensional abstract linear integral equation of Volterra type (1), as the limit of discrete Stieltjes-type systems and we prove results on the existence of continuous solutions. The functions x, α and f are Banach space-valued defined on a compact interval R of , R t is a subinterval of R depending on t ∈ R and (⋆) ∫ denotes either the Bochner-Lebesgue integral or the Henstock integral. The results presented here generalize those in [1] and are in the spirit of [3]. As a consequence of our approach, it is possible to study the properties of (1) by transferring the properties of the discrete systems. The Henstock integral setting enables us to consider highly oscillating functions.
