This article examines the valuation problem for the European option under a general stochastic volatility in a certain approximate sense by adopting the small disturbance asymptotic theory developed by Kunitomo and Takahashi [25, 261. The option value can be decomposed into the Black and Scholes value under deterministic volatility and adjustment terms driven by the randomness of the volatility...

In the mirror milling process of large thin-walled parts, maintaining a constant supporting force is crucial for improving the workpiece local stiffness to suppress vibration. Aiming at the flexible characteristics of large thin-walled parts, this work presents a position-based force explicit control strategy based on online trajectory prediction. An online trajectory pre-modification force con...
