Für Unternehmen werden die Anforderungen an die Genauigkeit bei der Bewertung von Risiken aufgrund interner und externer Faktoren zunehmend höher. Dies erfordert komplexere Modelle und Berechnungsmethoden, sowohl auf der Ebene von Einzelrisken als auch auf der Ebene von Risikoportfolios....

The Cartier-Perrin theorem, which was published in 1995 and is expressed in the language of nonstandard analysis, permits, for the first time perhaps, a clear-cut mathematical definition of the volatility of a financial asset. It yields as a byproduct a new understanding of the means of returns,...

A new standpoint on financial time series, without the use of any mathematical model and of probabilistic tools, yields not only a rigorous approach of trends and volatility, but also efficient calculations which were already successfully applied in automatic control and in signal processing. It...

This communication is devoted to the performance evaluation of new numerical differentiators, of algebraic flavor, which lead to the solution of many pending questions in control, signal and finance. The continuous-time expression of such a differentiator is an integral over a short time window...

Univariate and multivariate quadratic spline quasi-interpolants provide interesting approximation formulas for derivatives of approximated functions that can be very accurate at some points thanks to the superconvergence properties of these operators. Moreover, they also give rise to good global...

We propose a new method to calibrate the local volatility function of an asset from observed option prices of the underlying. Our method is initialized with a preprocessing step in which the given data are smoothened using cubic splines before they are differentiated numerically. In a second...
