Calibration of financial models can have more than one local minima present, requiring the use of global optimization techniques to properly calibrate them. In general, calibrating with a global optimizer will be a slow operation. An artificial neural network, properly trained, can replicate the...

This paper considers the optimal switching problem and the optimal multiple stopping problem for one-dimensional Markov processes in a finite horizon discrete time framework. We develop a dynamic programming procedure to solve these problems and provide easy-to-verify conditions to characterize...

In this paper we consider the object oriented implementation of numerical algorithms where arithmetic operators (add, mult, exp) operate on objects with more complex structure (compared to floating point numbers). Examples are objects representing vectors instead of scalars, random variables,...

We provide a survey of recent results on model calibration by Optimal Transport. We present the general framework and then discuss the calibration of local, and local-stochastic, volatility models to European options, the joint VIX/SPX calibration problem as well as calibration to some...

We introduce a new methodology for computing Hessians from algorithms for function evaluation, using backwards methods. We show that the complexity of the Hessian calculation is a linear function of the number of state variables times the complexity of the original algorithm. We apply our...

We present a high-order compact finite difference approach for a rather general class of parabolic partial differential equations with time and space dependent coefficients as well as with mixed second-order derivative terms in n spatial dimensions. Problems of this type arise frequently in...

Several exchanges in futures and options deploy pro-rata matching. The executed size of limit orders in pro-rata markets is never certain, unlike in price-time priority matching systems. This article derives the optimal size of limit orders in pro-rata markets given the trader's desired...
