The Basic Theorem and its Consequences
Let T be a compact Hausdorff topological space and let M denote an n–dimensional subspace of the space C(T ), the space of real–valued continuous functions on T and let the space be equipped with the uniform norm. Zukhovitskii [7] attributes the Basic Theorem to E.Ya.Remez and gives a proof by duality. He also gives a proof due to Shnirel’man, which uses Helly’s Theorem, now the paper obtains a...
متن کاملAnother proof of Banaschewski's surjection theorem
We present a new proof of Banaschewski's theorem stating that the completion lift of a uniform surjection is a surjection. The new procedure allows to extend the fact (and, similarly, the related theorem on closed uniform sublocales of complete uniform frames) to quasi-uniformities ("not necessarily symmetric uniformities"). Further, we show how a (regular) Cauchy point on a closed uniform subl...
متن کاملYield Curve Fitting with Term Structure Models: Empirical Evidence from the Euro Market
We study the fitting of the euro yield curve with the Longstaff and Schwartz (1992) (LS) two-factor general equilibrium model and the Schaefer and Schwartz (1984) (SS) two-factor arbitrage model of the term structure of interest rates. The Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross (1985b) (CIR) one-factor model is also studied as a reference. LS use the short-term interest rate and the volatility of the short-t...
متن کاملA Class of Heath-jarrow-morton Models in Which the Unbiased Expectations Hypothesis Holds
The unbiased expectations hypothesis states that forward rates are unbiased estimates for future short rates. Cox, Ingersoll and Ross 1] conjectured that this hypothesis should be inconsistent with the absence of arbitrage possibilities. Using the framework of Heath, Jar-row and Morton 4] we show that this is not always the case. The unbiased expectations hypothesis together with the existence ...
متن کاملAffine Diffusion Processes: Theory and Applications
We revisit affine diffusion processes on general and on the canonical state space in particular. A detailed study of theoretic and applied aspects of this class of Markov processes is given. In particular, we derive admissibility conditions and provide a full proof of existence and uniqueness through stochastic invariance of the canonical state space. Existence of exponential moments and the fu...
