The present paper is devoted to the numerical solution of the Fokker–Planck (FP) equation associated to the Duffing oscillator driven by colored noise. We propose an improved discretization of the standard FP operator-splitting method which renders the scheme unconditionally stable. This...

The stochastic resonance (SR) is studied in an overdamped linear system driven by multiplicative and additive noise when the additive noise is a linear combination of an asymmetric dichotomous noise and its square. The exact expressions are obtained for the first two moments and the correlation...

Systemic weather risk is a major obstacle for the formation of private (nonsubsidized) crop insurance. This paper explores the possibility of spatial diversification of insurance by estimating the joint occurrence of unfavorable weather conditions in different locations. For that purpose copula...

We study the parameter estimation of two-type continuous-state branching processes with immigration based on low frequency observations at equidistant time points. The ergodicity of the processes is proved. The estimators are based on the minimization of a sum of squared deviation about...

Under the background of leap-forward development for the internet, e-commerce has played an important role in people's daily life, but huge data sizes have also brought problems, such as information overload which can be solved by using a recommendation system effectively. However, with the...

In this paper we price a precipitation option based on empirical weather data from Germany using different pricing methods, among them Burn Analysis, Index Value Simulation and Daily Simulation. For that purpose we develop a daily precipitation model. Moreover, a decorrelation analysis is...
