Optimal Control for Insurers with a Jump-diffusion Risk Process

In this paper, the optimal XL-reinsurance of an insurer with jump-diffusion risk process is studied. With the assumptions that the risk process is a compound Possion process perturbed by a standard Brownian motion and the reinsurance premium is calculated according to the variance principle, the implicit expression of the priority and corresponding value function when the utility function is exponential are obtained. At last, the value function is argued, the properties of the priority about parameters are discussed and numerical results of the priority for various claim-size distributions are shown.

THE JOINT DISTRIBUTIONS OF SOME ACTUARIAL DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE JUMP-DIFFUSION RISK PROCESS

In this article, the joint distributions of several actuarial diagnostics which are important to insurers＇ running for the jump-diffusion risk process are examined. They include the ruin time, the time of the surplus process leaving zero ultimately （simply, the ultimately leaving-time）, the surplus immediately prior to ruin, the supreme profits before ruin, the supreme profits and deficit until it leaves zero ultimately and so on. The explicit expressions for their distributions are obtained mainly by the various properties of Levy process, such as the homogeneous strong Markov property and the spatial homogeneity property etc, moveover, the many properties for Brownian motion.

Integro-Differential Equations for a Jump-Diffusion Risk Process with Dependence between Claim Sizes and Claim Intervals

The classical Poisson risk model in ruin theory assumed that the interarrival times between two successive claims are mutually independent, and the claim sizes and claim intervals are also mutually independent. In this paper, we modify the classical Poisson risk model to describe the surplus process of an insurance portfolio. We consider a jump-diffusion risk process compounded by a geometric Brownian motion, and assume that the claim sizes and claim intervals are dependent. Using the properties of conditional expectation, we establish integro-differential equations for the Gerber-Shiu function and the ultimate ruin probability.

On Optimal Sparse-Control Problems Governed by Jump-Diffusion Processes

A framework for the optimal sparse-control of the probability density function of a jump-diffusion process is presented. This framework is based on the partial integro-differential Fokker-Planck (FP) equation that governs the time evolution of the probability density function of this process. In the stochastic process and, correspondingly, in the FP model the control function enters as a time-dependent coefficient. The objectives of the control are to minimize a discrete-in-time, resp. continuous-in-time, tracking functionals and its L2- and L1-costs, where the latter is considered to promote control sparsity. An efficient proximal scheme for solving these optimal control problems is considered. Results of numerical experiments are presented to validate the theoretical results and the computational effectiveness of the proposed control framework.

On pricing of corporate securities in the case of jump-diffusion

Structural models of credit risk are known to present vanishing spreads at very short maturities. This shortcoming, which is due to the diffusive behavior assumed for asset values, can be circumvented by considering discontinuities of the jump type in their evolution over time. In this paper, we extend the pricing model for corporate bond and determine the default probability in jump-diffusion model to address this issue. To make the problem clearly, we first investigate the case that the firm value follows a geometric Brownian motion under similar assumptions to those in Black and Scholes（1973）, Briys and de Varenne（1997）, i.e, the default barrier is KD （t, T） and the recovery rate is （1 -w）, where D （t, T） is the price of zero coupon default free bond and w is a constant （0 〈 w 〈 1）. By changing the numeraire, we obtain the closed-form solution for both the price of bond and default probability. Further, we consider the case of jump-diffusion and suppose that a firm will go bankruptcy if its value Vt 〈 KD （t, T） and at the same time, the bondholder will receive （1 - w） vt/k By introducing the Green function of PDE with absorbing boundary and converting the problem to an II-type Volterra integral equation, we get the closed-form expressions in series form for bond price and corresponding default probability. Numerical results are presented to show the impact of different parameters to credit spread of bond.

Pricing Study on Two Kinds of Power Options in Jump-Diffusion Models with Fractional Brownian Motion and Stochastic Rate

In this paper, under the assumption that the exchange rate follows the extended Vasicek model, the pricing of the reset option in FBM model is investigated. Some interesting themes such as closed-form formulas for the reset option with a single reset date and the phenomena of delta of the reset jumps existing in the reset option during the reset date are discussed. The closed-form formulae of pricing for two kinds of power options are derived in the end.

Exponential stability of impulsive jump linear systems with Markov process

The exponential stability is investigated for a class of continuous time linear systems with a finite state Markov chain form process and the impulsive jump at switching moments. The conditions, based on the average dwell time and the ratio of expectation of the total time running on all unstable subsystems to the expectation of the total time running on all stable subsystems,assure the exponential stability with a desired stability degree of the system irrespective of the impact of impulsive jump. The uniformly bounded result is realized for the case in which switched system is subjected to the impulsive effect of the excitation signal at some switching moments.

Definition of Laplace Transforms for Distribution of the First Passage of Zero Level of the Semi-Markov Random Process with Positive Tendency and Negative Jump

One of the important problems of stochastic process theory is to define the Laplace transforms for the distribution of semi-markov random processes. With this purpose, we will investigate the semimarkov random processes with positive tendency and negative jump in this article. The first passage of the zero level of the process will be included as a random variable. The Laplace transforms for the distribution of this random variable is defined. The parameters of the distribution will be calculated on the basis of the final results.

Poisson Process Modeling of Pure Jump Equities on the Ghana Stock Exchange

Although Geometric Brownian Motion and Jump Diffusion Models have largely dominated the literature on asset price modeling, studies of the empirical stock price data on the Ghana Stock Exchange have led to the conclusion that there are some stocks in which the return processes consistently depart from these models in theory as well as in its statistical properties. This paper gives a fundamental review of the development of a stock price model based on pure jump processes to capture the unique behavior exhibited by some stocks on the Exchange. Although pure jump processes have been examined thoroughly by other authors, there is a lack of mathematical clarity in terms of deriving the underlying stock price process. This paper provides a link between stock prices existing on a measure space to its development as a pure jump Levy process. We test the suitability of the model to the empirical evidence using numerical procedures. The simulation results show that the trajectories of the model are a better fit for the empirical data than those produced by the diffusion and jump diffusion models.

Temperature dependence of multi-jump magnetic switching process in epitaxial Fe/MgO(001) films

Temperature dependence of magnetic switching processes with multiple jumps in Fe/MgO（001） films is investigated by magnetoresistance measurements. When the temperature decreases from 300K to 80K, the measured three-jump hysteresis loops turn into two-jump loops. The temperature dependence of the fourfold in-plane magnetic anisotropy constant K1, domain wall pinning energy, and an additional uniaxial magnetic anisotropy constant KUare responsible for this transformation. The strengths of K1 and domain wall pinning energy increase with decreasing temperature, but KU remains unchanged. Moreover, magnetization reversal mechanisms, with either two successive or two separate 90°domain wall propagation, are introduced to explain the multi-jump magnetic switching process in epitaxial Fe/MgO（001） films at different temperatures.

An Actuarial Approach to Reload Option Valuation for a Non-tradable Risk Assets under Jump-diffusion Process and Stochastic Interest Rate

We use an actuarial approach to estimate the valuation of the reload option for a non-tradable risk asset under the jump-diffusion processes and Hull-White interest rate. We verify the validity of the actuarial approach to the European vanilla option for non-tradable assets. The formulas of the actuarial approach to the reload option are derived from the fair premium principle and the obtained results are arbitrage. Numerical experiments are conducted to analyze the effects of different parameters on the results of valuation as well as their differences from those obtained by the no-arbitrage approach. Finally, we give the valuations of the reload options under different parameters.

Markovian risk process

A Markovian risk process is considered in this paper, which is the generalization of the classical risk model. It is proper that a risk process with large claims is modelled as the Markovian risk model. In such a model, the occurrence of claims is described by a point process {N（t）}t≥0 with N（t） being the number of jumps during the interval （0, t] for a Markov jump process. The ruin probability ψ（u） of a company facing such a risk model is mainly studied. An integral equation satisfied by the ruin probability function ψ（u） is obtained and the bounds for the convergence rate of the ruin probability ψ（u） are given by using a generalized renewal technique developed in the paper.
