On Distortion Functionals
نویسنده
چکیده
Distorted measures have been used in pricing of insurance contracts for a long time. This paper reviews properties of related acceptability functionals in risk management, called distortion functionals. These functionals may be characterized by being mixtures of average values-at-risk. We give a dual representation of these functionals and show how they functionals may be used in portfolio optimization. An iterative numerical procedure for the solution of these portfolio problems is given which is based on duality.

Shape optimization using reflection lines
Many common objects have highly reflective metallic or painted finishes. Their appearance is primarily defined by the distortion the curved shape of the surface introduces in the reflections of surrounding objects. Reflection lines are commonly used for surface interrogation, as they capture many essential aspects of reflection distortion directly, and clearly show surface imperfections that ma...
متن کاملOn the Weak Limit of Mappings with Finite Distortion
We give a new proof that the limit of a weakly convergent sequence of mappings with finite distortion also has finite distortion. The result has been recently proved by Gehring and Iwaniec using the biting convergence of Jacobians. We present a different proof using simply the lower semi-continuity of quasiconvex functionals.
متن کاملAre Time Consistent Valuations Information Monotone?
Multi-period risk functionals assign a risk value to discrete-time stochastic processes. While convexity and monotonicity extend in straightforward manner from the singleperiod case, the role of information is more problematic in the multi-period situation. In this paper, we define multi-period functionals in such a way that the development of available information over time (expressed as a fil...
متن کاملExtremal Mappings of Finite Distortion
The theory of mappings of nite distortion has arisen out of a need to extend the ideas and applications of the classical theory of quasiconformal mappings to the degenerate elliptic setting. There one nds concrete applications in materials science, particularly non-linear elasticity and critical phase phenomena, and the calculus of variations. In this paper we re ne and extend these connections...
متن کاملAxioms and variational problems in surface parameterization
For a surface patch on a smooth, two-dimensional surface in IR, low-distortion parameterizations are described in terms of minimizers of suitable energy functionals. Appropriate distortion measures are derived from principles of rational mechanics, closely related to the theory of non-linear elasticity. The parameterization can be optimized with respect to the varying importance of conformality...
