<Para ID="Par1">An investor with constant relative risk aversion trades a safe and several risky assets with constant investment opportunities. For a small fixed transaction cost, levied on each trade regardless of its size, we explicitly determine the leading-order corrections to the frictionless value...</para>

We apply multiresolution techniques to study the effective properties of boundary value problems. Conditions under which boundary values are preserved in the effective (`homogenized') formulation are developed and discussed. Relations between the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the generic...

The contribution deals with heat equation in the form (cu+W[u])t=div(a·∇u)+f, where the nonlinear functional operator W[u] is a Prandtl–Ishlinskii hysteresis operator of play type characterized by a distribution function η. The spatially dependent initial boundary value problem is studied....
