European option pricing of fractional Black-Scholes model with new Lagrange multipliers
In this paper, a new identification of the Lagrange multipliers by means of the Sumudu transform, is employed to btain a quick and accurate solution to the fractional Black-Scholes equation with the initial condition for a European option pricing problem. Undoubtedly this model is the most well known model for pricing financial derivatives. The fractional derivatives is described in Caputo sen...
متن کاملInterpretation of Lagrange multipliers in nonlinear pricing problem
We present well-known interpretations of Lagrange multipliers in physical and economic applications, and introduce a new interpretation in nonlinear pricing problem. The multipliers can be interpreted as a network of directed flows between the buyer types. The structure of the digraph and the fact that the multipliers usually have distinctive values can be used in solving the optimization probl...
متن کاملOn the duality of quadratic minimization problems using pseudo inverses
In this paper we consider the minimization of a positive semidefinite quadratic form, having a singular corresponding matrix $H$. We state the dual formulation of the original problem and treat both problems only using the vectors $x in mathcal{N}(H)^perp$ instead of the classical approach of convex optimization techniques such as the null space method. Given this approach and based on t...
متن کامل16QAM Blind Equalization via Maximum Entropy Density Approximation Technique and Nonlinear Lagrange Multipliers
Recently a new blind equalization method was proposed for the 16QAM constellation input inspired by the maximum entropy density approximation technique with improved equalization performance compared to the maximum entropy approach, Godard's algorithm, and others. In addition, an approximated expression for the minimum mean square error (MSE) was obtained. The idea was to find those Lagrange mu...
متن کاملOptimal Control of Linear
The regularity of Lagrange multipliers for state-constrained optimal control problems belongs to the basic questions of control theory. Here, we investigate bottleneck problems arising from optimal control problems for PDEs with certain mixed control-state inequality constraints. We show how to obtain Lagrange multipliers in L p-spaces for linear problems and give an application to linear parab...
