We improve on Gonek-Montgomery's quantitative version of Kronecker's approximation theorem.
We introduce an approximation strategy for the discounted moments of a stochastic process that can, for a large class of problems, approximate the true moments. These moments appear in pricing formulas of financial products such as bonds…
This is an erratum to an earlier paper, "Generalizations of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem." An error in the statement of one of the theorems is corrected.
Using methods from the statistical mechanics of disordered systems we analyze the properties of bimatrix games with random payoffs in the limit where the number of pure strategies of each player tends to infinity. We analytically calculate…
This paper considers the approximation of a monomial $x^n$ over the interval $[-1,1]$ by a lower-degree polynomial. This polynomial approximation can be easily computed analytically and is obtained by truncating the analytical Chebyshev…
Parity games play a central role in model checking and satisfiability checking. Solving parity games is computationally expensive, among others due to the size of the games, which, for model checking problems, can easily contain $10^9$…
A new error bound for the linear complementarity problem is given when the involved matrix is a B-matrix. It is shown that this bound is sharper than some previous bounds [C.Q. Li, Y.T. Li. Note on error bounds for linear complementarity…

The purpose of the paper is to provide a characterization of the error of the best polynomial approximation of composite functions in weighted spaces. Such a characterization is essential for the convergence analysis of numerical methods…

Estimating win probability is one of the classic modeling tasks of sports analytics. Many widely used win probability estimators use machine learning to fit the relationship between a binary win/loss outcome variable and certain game-state…
We consider how an agent should update her uncertainty when it is represented by a set $\P$ of probability distributions and the agent observes that a random variable $X$ takes on value $x$, given that the agent makes decisions using the…
This paper is concerned with the computable error estimates for the eigenvalue problem which is solved by the general conforming finite element methods on the general meshes. Based on the computable error estimate, we can give an…

The accuracy of the recombination estimation method of Padhukasahasram et al. 2006 can be improved by including additional informative summary statistics in the rejection scheme and by simulating datasets under a fixed segregating sites…
The pricing, hedging, optimal exercise and optimal cancellation of game or Israeli options are considered in a multi-currency model with proportional transaction costs. Efficient constructions for optimal hedging, cancellation and exercise…
We present efficient approximation of the error function obtained by Fourier expansion of the exponential function $\exp [{- {(t - 2 \sigma)^2}/4}]$. The error analysis reveals that it is highly accurate and can generate numbers that match…
We consider interval estimation of the difference between two binomial proportions. Several methods of constructing such an interval are known. Unfortunately those confidence intervals have poor coverage probability: it is significantly…
The difference between a model forecast and actual observations is called forecast bias. This bias is due to either incomplete model assumptions and/or poorly known parameter values and initial/boundary conditions. In this paper we discuss…
In this paper, we address the probabilistic error quantification of a general class of prediction methods. We consider a given prediction model and show how to obtain, through a sample-based approach, a probabilistic upper bound on the…
