The paper considers the derivation of weak discrete time approximations for solutions of stochastic differential equations with time delay. These are suitable for Monte Carlo simulation and allow the computation of expectations for functionals of stochastic delay equations. The suggested...

The analysis of diffusion processes in financial models is crucially dependent on the form of the drift and diffusion coefficient functions. A methodology is proposed for estimating and testing coefficient functions for ergodic diffusions that are not directly observable. It is based on...

Der Begriff der A-Stabilität wird auf lineare Differentialgleichungen mit Gedächtnis übertragen. Es erfolgt eine explizite Berechnung des Stabilitätsgebietes des expliziten Eulerverfahrens für affine Testgleichungen mit einem reellen Parameter und einer echten Zeitverzögerung im Driftterm....

This paper provides a methodology for fast and accurate pricing of the long-dated contracts that arise as the building blocks of insurance and pension fund agreements. It applies the recursive marginal quantization (RMQ) and joint recursive marginal quantization (JRMQ) algorithms outside the...
