Convex Upper and Lower Bounds for Present Value Functions

چکیده
In this paper we present an efficient methodology for approximating the distribution function of the net present value of a series of cash-flows, when the discounting is presented by a stochastic differential equation as in the Vasicek model and in the Ho-Lee model. Upper and lower bounds in convexity order are obtained. The high accuracy of the method is illustrated for cash-flows for which no analytical results are available.

Inequalities of Ando's Type for $n$-convex Functions
By utilizing different scalar equalities obtained via Hermite's interpolating polynomial, we will obtain lower and upper bounds for the difference in Ando's inequality and in the Edmundson-Lah-Ribariv c inequality for solidarities that hold for a class of $n$-convex functions. As an application, main results are applied to some operator means and relative operator entropy.
متن کاملStochastic Approximations of Present Value Functions
The aim of this paper is to apply the method proposed by Denuit, Genest and Marceau (1999) for deriving stochastic upper and lower bounds on the present value of a sequence of cash flows, where the discounting is performed under a given stochastic return process. The convex approximation provided by Goovaerts, Dhaene and De Schepper (2000) and Goovaerts and Dhaene (1999) is then compared to the...
متن کاملTwo Equivalent Presentations for the Norm of Weighted Spaces of Holomorphic Functions on the Upper Half-plane
Introduction In this paper, we intend to show that without any certain growth condition on the weight function, we always able to present a weighted sup-norm on the upper half plane in terms of weighted sup-norm on the unit disc and supremum of holomorphic functions on the certain lines in the upper half plane. Material and methods We use a certain transform between the unit dick and the uppe...
متن کاملComputable Optimal Value Bounds for Generalized Convex Programs
It has been shown by Fiacco that convexity or concavity of the optimal value of a parametric nonlinear programming problem can readily be exploited to calculate global parametric upper and lower bounds on the optimal value function. The approach is attractive because it involves manipulation of information normally required to characterize solution optimality. We briefly describe a procedure fo...
