    • A Maximum Principle Approach to Risk Indifference Pricing with Partial Information 

      An, Ta Thi Kieu; Øksendal, Bernt; Proske, Frank (Journal article, 2008)
      We consider the problem of risk indifference pricing on an incomplete market, namely on a jump diffusion market where the controller has limited access to market information. We use the maximum principle for stochastic ...
    • A Maximum Principle for Mean-Field SDEs with Time Change 

      Di Nunno, Giulia; Haferkorn, Hannes Hagen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Time change is a powerful technique for generating noises and providing flexible models. In the framework of time changed Brownian and Poisson random measures we study the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a ...
    • A new Lagrangean Approach for the Travelling Salesman Problem 

      Jörnsten, Kurt; Kalcsics, Jörg (Discussion paper;04/15, Working paper, 2015-01-19)
      In this paper, we use a reformulation of the symmetric and the asymmetric travelling salesman problem more suitable for Lagrangean relaxation and analyse the new approach on examples from TSP Lib. Furthermore the Lagrangean ...
    • A New Semi-Lagrangean Relaxation for the K-Cardinality Assignment Problem 

      Belik, Ivan; Jörnsten, Kurt (Discussion paper;01/14, Working paper, 2014-01)
      Recently Beltrán-Royo, Vial & Alonso-Ayuso (2012) presented a semi-Lagrangean relaxation for the classical p-median location problem and for the incapacitated facility location problem. The results, obtained using the ...
    • A new Semi-Lagrangean Relaxation for the p-median problem 

      Butsch, Alex; Jörnsten, Kurt; Kalcsics, Jörg (Discussion paper;01/15, Working paper, 2015-01-09)
      Recently Beltran-Royo et.al presented a Semi-Lagrangean relaxation for the classical p-median location problem. The results obtained using the Semi-Lagrangean relaxation approach were quite impressive. In this paper we use ...
    • A Nodal Pricing Model for the Nordic Electricity Market 

      Bjørndal, Endre; Bjørndal, Mette; Gribkovskaia, Victoria (Discussion paper;43/14, Working paper, 2014-12)
      In the Nordic day-ahead electricity market zonal pricing or market splitting is used for relieving congestion between a predetermined set of bidding areas. This congestion management method represents an aggregation of ...
    • A partner in crime : assortative matching and bias in the crime market 

      Gavrilova, Evelina (Discussion papers;25/14, Working paper, 2014-06)
      I identify a discriminatory bias in partnership formation within the property crime mar- ket in the United States. Theoretically, the prisoner's dilemma creates an incentive for a criminal to form a partnership with a ...
    • A simple wavelet-based test for serial correlation in panel data models 

      Li, Yushu; Andersson, Fredrik N.G. (Discussion paper;11/14, Working paper, 2014-03)
      Hong and Kao (2004) proposed a panel data test for serial correlation of unknown form. However, their test is computationally difficult to implement, and simulation studies show the test to have bad small-sample properties. ...
