We consider a stochastic perturbation of the $\alpha$-Navier-Stokes model. The stochastic perturbation is an additive space-time noise of trace class. Under a natural condition about the trace of operator $Q$ in front of the noise, we prove…

We use Lie symmetry methods to price certain types of barrier options. Usually Lie symmetry methods cannot be used to solve the Black-Scholes equation for options because the function defining the maturity condition for an option is not…

An investor faced with a contingent claim may eliminate risk by perfect hedging, but as it is often quite expensive, he seeks partial hedging (quantile hedging or efficient hedging) that requires less capital and reduces the risk. Efficient…
