The current volume presents four chapters touching on some of the most important and modern areas of research in Mathematical Finance: asset price bubbles (by Philip Protter); energy markets (by Fred Espen Benth); investment under transaction costs (by Paolo Guasoni and Johannes Muhle-Karbe); and numerical methods for solving stochastic equations (by Dan Crisan, K. Manolarakis and C. Nee).The Paris-Princeton Lecture Notes on Mathematical Finance, of which this is the fifth volume, publish cutting-edge research in self-contained, expository articles from renowned specialists. The aim is to produce a series of articles that can serve as an introductory reference source for research in the field.
Preface: Vicky Henderson & Ronnie Sircar.- Philip Protter: A Mathematical Theory of Financial Bubbles.- Fred Espen Benth: Stochastic Volatility and Dependency in Energy Markets - Multi-Factor Modelling.- Paolo Guasoni: Portfolio Choice with Transaction Costs: a User's Guide.- Dan Crisan: Cubature Methods and Applications.
Ronnie Sircar taught for three years at the University of Michigan in the Department of Mathematics before moving to Princeton University in 2000. He is now a Professor in the Operations Research and Financial Engineering Department at Princeton and an affiliate member of the Bendheim Center for Finance and the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics.
