We formulate a Cournot-type market equilibrium model of simultaneous trading in the CDS and Loan CDS (LCDS) markets. We use novel formulations of two-market demand functions that include trading costs and margins. The equilibrium identifies a relation between premiums, elasticities and recovery...

Online 2D irregular bin packing problem (2D-OIBPP) with uncertain demands is a critical challenge in the manufacturing and assembly industry, where a robot is required to place incoming objects within a limited time to maximize overall packing density. The high demands on real-time and...

We generalize the asset dynamics assumptions of Leland (1994b) and Leland and Toft (1996) to a much richer class of models. By assuming a stationary corporate debt structure with constant principal, coupon payment and average maturity through continuous retirement and refinancing as long as the...
