Choice of futility boundaries for group sequential designs with two endpoints

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2017
Background In clinical trials, the opportunity for an early stop during an interim analysis (either for efficacy or for futility) may relevantly save time and financial resources.

On the Existence of Optimal Controls for SPDEs with Boundary Noise and Boundary Control [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2013
We consider a stochastic optimal control problem for an heat equation with boundary noise and boundary controls. Under suitable assumptions on the coefficients, we prove existence of optimal controls in strong sense by solving the stochastic hamiltonian system related.

A perspective on meta-boundaries

open access: yes, 2022
The judicious design of electromagnetic boundary provides a crucial route to control light-matter interactions, and it is thus fundamental to basic science and practical applications.

Where do we draw lines: professional relationship boundaries and the child and youth care practitioner [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The question of professional relationship boundaries is a poignant one, in light of the many boundary grey-zones that are created by the variety of young people’s needs, practice settings and professional relationship contexts within the field of child ...

On the impact of the penalty on the cancellable American options

open access: yesModern Stochastics: Theory and Applications
The cancellable American options, also known as game options, are financial instruments that give a canceling right to the option’s writer in addition to the existing such holder’s right.

On Reflecting Boundary Problem for Optimal Control [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2003
This paper deals with Mayer's problem for controlled systems with reflection on the boundary of a closed subset K. The main result is the characterization of the possibly discontinuous value function in terms of a unique solution in a suitable sense to a partial differential equation of Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman type.

On the put-call duality of the game options

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to obtain a duality between the game put and call options assuming three component penalties – proportion of the usual option payoff, shares of the underlying asset, and a fixed amount.

A Fast and Accurate Numerical Approach for Pricing American-Style Power Options

open access: yesMathematics
In this paper, we present a fast and accurate numerical approach applied to specific American-style derivatives, namely American power call and put options, whose main feature is that the underlying asset is raised to a power.

Neural optimal stopping boundary

open access: yesMathematical Finance
AbstractA method based on deep artificial neural networks and empirical risk minimization is developed to calculate the boundary separating the stopping and continuation regions in optimal stopping. The algorithm parameterizes the stopping boundary as the graph of a function and introduces relaxed stopping rules based on fuzzy boundaries to facilitate ...
