An algorithm for multi-agent scheduling to minimize makespan on two machineswe study a multi-agent scheduling problem on two identical machines In this paper,. Each agent aims at minimizing the makespan. We present a -approximation algorithm which produces a schedule such that the makespan of th-th completed agent is no more tha times its minimum makespan, This ratio vector is tight.鲁习文 教授数学系致远楼105教室2014年11月5日(周三)下午15:00开始

Derivative for the intersection local time of fractional Brownian MotionsLet and be two independent fractional Brownian motions with respective indices and. In this paper, we consider their intersection local time and show that is differentiable in the spatial variable if. We introduce the so-calledhybrid quadratic covariation When, we construct a Banach spaceof measurable functions such that the quadratic covariation exists in and for all. Whena similar result is proved to hold for all Hölder functions of order闫理坦 教授数学系致远楼105 室2014年11月5日(周三)下午16:00开始

Analytic Pricing of Discrete Exotic Variance Swaps and Timer OptionsWe consider pricing of exotic variance swaps and timer option written on the discretely sampled realized variance of an underlying asset under stochastic volatility models. Timer options are barrier style options in the volatility space. A typical timer option is similar to its European vanilla counterpart, except with uncertain expiration date. The finite-maturity timer option expires either when the accumulated realized variance of the underlying asset has reached a pre-specified level or on the mandated expiration date, whichever comes earlier. Thanks to the analytical tractability of the joint moment generating functions of the affine models, we manage to derive closed form analytic formulas for variance swap products with corridor features.Professor Yue Kuen KWOKZhiyuan Building 1074:00pm - 5:00pm , October 31/2014

Modified Parallel Multisplitting Iterative Methods for Linear SystemsIn this talk, we not only want to decreases the difficulty of constricting the multisplitting of the coefficient matrix, but also release the constrains to the weighting matrices. We present two optimization models to modify parallel multisplitting iteration methods for solving positive definite (Hermitian or non-Hermitian) linear systems.温瑞萍致远楼102 室10 月23 日(周四) 上午10:00-11:00

Solving Nonlinear Elliptic PDE via Elliptic FunctionsIn this lecture, we shall consider the mean field equation as an integrable system. Recently I and my collaborators have developed a theory to study the mean field equation. I will survey a part of this theory and show at the simplest situation how modular forms would be connected with the PDE.林长寿教授数学系致远楼1022014年10月20日(星期一) 上午10:00—11:00

The Science of MoneyWe will discuss three aspects of the application of scientific methods to finance: (1) Investment (2) Derivatives (3) Risk Management. Although more advanced tools, such as stochastic differential equations, Monte Carlo simulation, psychology, statistical inference, optimization, and functional analysis may be needed to study these topics, only high school mathematics will be used in the talk. We aim at giving some concrete examples in these topics, to inspire interests among the general public. In particular, we will focus on three examples: (1) Optimal portfolio choices, e.g. Kelly and Merton criteria. (2) The binomial model for option pricing. (3) Axioms for risk measures.Prof. Steven Kou数学系致远楼1072014年10月16日(星期四) 下午4:00—5:30
