Study on sample complexity of policy gradient for stabilizing linear systems under multiplicative noise.

problem Learning optimal feedback gain for stabilizing linear systems with multiplicative noise.
method Analyzes the sample complexity of policy gradient methods, addressing the cusp obstruction and using symmetry to control divergent parts of the gradient.

In this paper we consider some insurance policies related to drawdown and drawup events of log-returns for an underlying asset modeled by a spectrally negative geometric Lévy process. We consider four contracts, three of which were introduced in Zhang et al. (2013) for a geometric Brownian motion. The first one is an i…

We develop an empirical behavioural order-driven (EBOD) model, which consists of an order placement process and an order cancellation process. Price limit rules are introduced in the definition of relative price. The order placement process is determined by several empirical regularities: the long memory in order direc…

For even dimensional manifolds, we prove some twisted anomaly cancellation formulas which generalize some well-known cancellation formulas. For odd dimensional manifolds, we obtain some modularly invariant characteristic forms by the Chern-Simons transgression and we also get some twisted anomaly cancellation formulas.

This paper examines the value of a cancellable European option in a finite time horizon setting. The specifications of this generalized European option allow the seller to cancel the option at any point in time for a fixed penalty paid directly to the holder. Here, we provide an explicit valuation formula for the Europ…

In this paper, by combining modular forms and characteristic forms, we obtain general anomaly cancellation formulas of any dimension. For 4k+24k+2 dimensional manifolds, our results include the gravitational anomaly cancellation formulas of Alvarez-Gaumé and Witten in dimensions 2, 6 and 10 (\cite{AW}) as special cases. …
