When a system produces two or more products, cumulative exergy (CEx) should be allocated to each product. Separation process is a common operating unit, which is characterized by multiple products. Based on the minimum separation work (MSW) theory, a novel allocation parameter of CEx, the...

We simulated the Fourier transform of the correlation function of the Ising model in two and three dimensions using a single cluster algorithm with improved estimators. The simulations are in agreement with series expansion and the available exact results in d = 2, which shows, that the cluster...

In this paper, we consider a portfolio optimization problem in a defaultable market. The representative investor dynamically allocates his or her wealth among the following securities: a perpetual defaultable bond, a money market account and a default-free risky asset. The optimal investment and...

<title>Abstract</title>In this paper, we introduce tractable dynamic models for financial variables (such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, etc.) with capturing both jump risk and boundedness of the price fluctuation in a regulated market. For the jump risk, we use a compound Poisson...

In this paper, we investigate a sequential maximum likelihood estimator of the unknown drift parameter for a class of reflected generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes driven by spectrally positive Lévy processes. In both of the cases of negative drift and positive drift, we prove that the...

This note focuses on the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process reflected at its long-run level (or long-run mean). The analytical closed-form of the transition density is obtained by virtue of the Skorokhod equation and the time-change for martingales. Our result is consistent with that presented by...

In this paper, we consider a general Lévy risk model with two-sided jumps and a constant dividend barrier. We connect the ruin problem of the ex-dividend risk process with the first passage problem of the Lévy process reflected at its running maximum. We prove that if the positive jumps of the...

This paper introduces dynamic models for the spot foreign exchange rate with capturing both the rare events and the time-inhomogeneity in the fluctuating currency market. For the rare events, we use a compound Poisson process with log-normal jump amplitude to describe the jumps. As for the...
