In Van Weert et al. (2010), results are obtained showing that, when allowing some of the cash flows to be negative, convex order lower bound approximations can still be used to solve general investment problems in a context of provisioning or terminal wealth. In this paper, a correction and...

In Dhaene et al. (2005), multiperiod portfolio selection problems are discussed, using an analytical approach to find optimal constant mix investment strategies in a provisioning or a savings context. In this paper we extend some of these results, investigating some specific, real-life...

In the actuarial research, distortion, mean value and Haezendonck–Goovaerts risk measures are concepts that are usually treated separately. In this paper we indicate and characterize the relation between these different risk measures, as well as their relation to convex risk measures. While it...

In this paper, we develop a recursive method to derive an exact numerical and nearly analytical representation of the Laplace transform of the transition density function with respect to the time variable for time-homogeneous diffusion processes. We further apply this recursion algorithm to the...
