Abstract. We present an iterative procedure for computing the optimal Bermudan stopping time, hence the Bermudan Snell envelope. The method produces an increasing sequence of appro...
While provenance has been extensively studied in the literature, the efficient evaluation of provenance queries remains an open problem. Traditional query optimization techniques...
A compositional Petri net based semantics is given to a simple pointer-manipulating language. The model is then applied to give a notion of validity to the judgements made by conc...
Monte Carlo simulation techniques that use function approximations have been successfully applied to approximately price multi-dimensional American options. However, for many pric...
We present a unified framework for reasoning about worst-case regret bounds for learning algorithms. This framework is based on the theory of duality of convex functions. It brin...
