First, we consider the problem of hedging in complete binomial models. Using the discrete-time F\"ollmer-Schweizer decomposition, we demonstrate the equivalence of the backward induction and sequential regression approaches. Second, in…
We confront two integrability criteria for rational mappings. The first is the singularity confinement based on the requirement that every singularity, spontaneously appearing during the iteration of a mapping, disappear after some steps.…
We study existence, uniqueness and computability of solutions for a class of discrete time recursive utilities models. By combining two streams of the recent literature on recursive preferences---one that analyzes principal eigenvalues of…
It is studied the Cauchy problem for the equations of Burgers' type but with bounded dissipation flux. Such equations degenerate to hyperbolic ones as the velocity gradient tends to infinity. Thus the discontinuous solutions are permitted.…
This paper is devoted to derive some necessary and suficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions to a singular second order system of dynamic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The results are obtained by employing…
We develop an agent-based simulation of the catastrophe insurance and reinsurance industry and use it to study the problem of risk model homogeneity. The model simulates the balance sheets of insurance firms, who collect premiums from…
In the first part of this paper we establish a uniqueness result for continuity equations with velocity field whose derivative can be represented by a singular integral operator of an $L^1$ function, extending the Lagrangian theory in…

Several important problems in partial differential equations can be formulated as integral equations. Often the integral operator defines the solution of an elliptic problem with specified jump conditions at an interface. In principle the…
We consider a scalar conservation law with source in a bounded open interval $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb R$. The equation arises from the macroscopic evolution of an interacting particle system. The source term models an external effort driving…
We study the non-selfadjoint Dirac system on a finite interval having non-integrable regular singularities in interior points with additional matching conditions at these points. Properties of spectral characteristics are established, and…
We revisit the optimal dividend problem of de Finetti by adding a variance term to the usual criterion of maximizing the expected discounted dividends paid until ruin, in a singular control framework. Investors do not like variability in…
We describe the various types of singularities that can arise for second order rational mappings and we discuss the historical and present-day, practical, role the singularity confinement property plays as an integrability detector. In…
We study finite-time singularities in the linear advection-diffusion equation with a variable speed on a semi-infinite line. The variable speed is determined by an additional condition at the boundary, which models the dynamics of a contact…
The initial value problem is considered for a higher order nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with quadratic nonlinearity. Results on existence and uniqueness of weak solutions are obtained. In the case of an effective at infinity additional…
Let us consider the autonomous obstacle problem \begin{equation*} \min_v \int_\Omega F(Dv(x)) \, dx \end{equation*} on a specific class of admissible functions, where we suppose the Lagrangian satisfies proper hypotheses of convexity and…
In this paper, we prove the existence of smooth initial data for the 2D free boundary incompressible Euler equations (also known for some particular scenarios as the water wave problem), for which the smoothness of the interface breaks down…
We discuss the solvability of an infinite system of first order ordinary differential equations on the half line, subject to nonlocal initial conditions. The main result states that if the nonlinearities possess a suitable "sub-linear"…
For general second order evolution equations, we prove an optimal condition on the degree of unboundedness of the damping, that rules out finite-time extinction. We show that control estimates give energy decay rates that explicitly depend…
