In this paper we consider several multivariate extensions of comonotonicity. We show that naive extensions do not enjoy some of the main properties of the univariate concept. In order to have these properties, more structures are needed than in the univariate case.

In this paper, a theoretical and experimental analysis of wireless power transfer through a coplanar resonator array is presented. In particular, six identical spiral resonators are used to form an array and transfer power between an emitter and a receiver. All the spiral resonators resonate at...

We give a new sufficient condition for a continuous distribution to be completely mixable, and we use this condition to show that the worst-possible value-at-risk for the sum of d inhomogeneous risks is equivalent to the worst-possible expected shortfall under the same marginal assumptions, in...

Using a connection between the rearrangement algorithm introduced in Puccetti and Rüschendorf (2012) and convex order, we show how to compute the best-possible expected shortfall for the sum of d random variables having fixed marginal distributions.

This paper presents an investigation of the transmitted power in a wireless power transfer system that employs a metamaterial. Metamaterials are a good means to transfer power wirelessly, as they are composed of multiple inductively-coupled resonators. The system can be designed and matched...

Abstract For solvency purposes insurance companies need to calculate so-called best-estimate reserves for outstanding loss liability cash flows and a corresponding risk margin for non-hedgeable insurance-technical risks in these cash flows. In actuarial practice, the calculation of the risk...

Despite an extensive body of research, the best way to model the dependence of exchange rates remains an open question. In this paper we present a new approach which employs a flexible time-varying copula model. It allows the conditional correlation between exchange rates to be both time-varying...

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) has develop ed very rapidly over the past two decades both methodologically and with respect to applications. Whereas (non–life) actuaries have, at least implicitly, used EVT techniques for a long time, mainly through the emergence of quantitative Risk Management, EVT...
