A Continuous-Time Model for Valuing Foreign Exchange Options by James J. Kung

“…This paper makes use of stochastic calculus to develop a continuous-time model for valuing European options on foreign exchange (FX) when both domestic and foreign spot rates follow a generalized Wiener process. Using the dollar/euro exchange rate as input for parameter estimation and employing our FX option model as a yardstick, we find that the traditional Garman-Kohlhagen FX option model, which assumes constant spot rates, values incorrectly calls and puts for different values of the ratio of exchange rate to exercise price. …”

On Some Types of Covering-Based ℐ,T-Fuzzy Rough Sets and Their Applications by Mohammed Atef, José Carlos R. Alcantud, Hussain AlSalman, Abdu Gumaei

“…., in 2019) introduced the covering through variable precision ℐ,T-fuzzy rough sets (CVPℐTFRS). To generalize these models in (Jiang et al., 2019 and Zhang et al. 2019), that is, to improve the lower approximation and reduce the upper approximation, the present paper constructs eight novel models of an FCℐTFRS based on fuzzy β-minimal (maximal) descriptions. …”

Fast Computation of Singular Oscillatory Fourier Transforms by Hongchao Kang, Xinping Shao

“…Based on substituting the original interval of integration by the paths of steepest descent, if f is analytic in the complex region G containing [a, b], the computation of integrals can be transformed into the problems of integrating two integrals on [0, ∞) with the integrand that does not oscillate and decays exponentially fast, which can be efficiently computed by using the generalized Gauss Laguerre quadrature rule. The efficiency and the validity of the method are demonstrated by both numerical experiments and theoretical results. …”

Some results on convergence rates for probabilities of moderate deviations for sums of random variables by Deli Li, Xiangchen Wang, M. Bhaskara Rao

“…For example, we obtain equivalent conditions for the convergence of series ∑n≥1(ψ2(n)/n)P(|Sn|≥nφ(n)) only under the assumptions convergence that EX=0 and EX2=1, where φ and ψ are taken from a broad class of functions. These results generalize and improve some recent results of Li (1991) and Gafurov (1982) and some previous work of Davis (1968). …”
