Affine processes provide a versatile framework for modelling complex financial phenomena, ranging from interest rate dynamics to credit risk and beyond. Their defining characteristic is the affine, or ...

Stochastic processes provide a rigorous framework for modelling systems that evolve over time under uncertainty, while extremal theory offers the tools for understanding the behaviour of rare, ...

As global financial markets become increasingly interconnected, accurately modelling correlations between assets is essential. Traditional models often assume static correlations, which fail to ...

Systematic study of Markov chains and some of the simpler Markov processes including renewal theory, limit theorems for Markov chains, branching processes, queuing theory, birth and death processes, ...

Several vendors are rolling out next-generation inspection systems and software that locates problematic defects in chips caused by processes in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Each defect ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A simple and rather general model of the precipitation process is reviewed and some applications and comparisons are made using data from ...
