Against Software Patents (February 28, 1991) The League for Programming Freedom Software patents threaten to devastate America’s computer industry. Patents granted in the past decade are now being used to attack companies such as the Lotus Development Corporation for selling programs that they have independently developed. Soon new companies will often be barred from the software arena—most major programs will require licenses for dozens of patents, and this will make them infeasible. This problem has only one solution: software patents must be eliminated. The Patent System and Computer Progr

1 1.1 What is a Free Lunch? Arbitrage The notion of arbitrage is crucial in the modern theory of Finance. It is the corner-stone of the option pricing theory due to F. Black and M. Scholes (published in 1973, Nobel prize in Economics 1997). The underlying idea is best explained by telling a little joke: a ﬁnance professor and a normal person go on a walk and the normal person sees a 100 bill lying on the street. When the normal person wants to pick it up, the ﬁnance professor says: don’t try to do that. It is absolutely impossible that there is a 100 bill lying on the street. Indeed, if it w

Approximating prices of bonds with log - normal interest rate Sankarshan Basu and Angelos Dassios Abstract 1 This paper calculates bounds for the prices of bonds for various interest rate models resulting in a log-normal distribution for the interest rate, in two di erent ways. In the rst method we employ a conditioning factor as was done by Rogers and Shi, to approximate the prices of Asian options. The second method is via a direct expansion. The lower bounds obtained are so accurate that they are essentially the true prices. The paper also looks at values of contingent payments on the in

We present a multiscale method for a class of problems that are locally self-similar in scales and hence do not have scale separation.

8.334: Statistical Mechanics II Last modi ed: March 13, 2003 There are several ways to implement real space renormalization. The real space RG is a exible approach: there is a large freedom in choosing block spins, as well as in making approximations when the block Hamiltonian is derived. We demostrate the main ideas in several simple examples. We will work with a minimal set of couplings (one-spin and two-spin) and ignore more complicated couplings that are typically generated by the RG procedure. Although the real space RG accuracy can be systematically improved by enlarging the coupling pa

Corporate Hedging: What, Why and How? by Michael P. Ross Haas School of Business University of California, Berkeley Spring 1996 This paper explores the rationale for corporate risk management. Following Smith and Stulz (1985) and Mayers and Smith (1987), the assumption is made that rms can contractually commit to bondholders to maintain a particular risk management policy, or asset volatility. With that as a starting point, the essay derives the optimal hedge portfolio, examines this portfolio's robustness to variance-covariance misestimation, and proposes a new motive for corporate risk mana

Risk Management Strategies for Banks∗ Wolfgang Bauer†‡ Marc Ryser§ November 12, 2002 Abstract We analyze optimal risk management strategies of a bank ﬁnanced with deposits and equity in a one period model. The bank’s motivation for risk management comes from deposits which can lead to bank runs. In the event of such a run, liquidation costs arise. The hedging strategy that maximizes the value of equity is derived. We identify conditions under which well known results such as complete hedging, maximal speculation or irrelevance of the hedging decision are obtained. The initial debt ratio, the

These issues are of primary interest to experts assessing pension plans with a view to preparing financial statements and, in particular, to actuaries.

A program that uses disjunctive, or logical, constraints to model the criteria for hedge accounting across all types of financial instruments and against allowable risks is presented.

CHAPTER 9. MULTIFACTOR OPTIONS 103 Chapter 9 Multifactor options A multifactor option is one of the second-generation options 1 . In contrast to standard options, the value of a multifactor option is determined by the behaviour of two or more ﬁnancial prices and by the correlation between these ﬁnancial prices. The multifactor options can be subdivided into three groups: rainbow, quanto and basket options. 9.1 Rainbow options The value of a rainbow option is determined by the performance of two or more underlying assets. Such an option based on n underlying assets is referred to as an n-

OPTIMAL DIVIDEND AND ISSUANCE OF EQUITY POLICIES IN THE PRESENCE OF PROPORTIONAL COSTS ARNE LØKKA AND MIHAIL ZERVOS Abstract. We consider three optimisation problems faced by a company that can control their liquid reserves by paying dividends and by issuing new equity. The ﬁrst of these problems involves no issuance of new equity and has been considered by several authors in the literature. The second one aims at maximising the expected discounted dividend payments minus the expected discounted costs of issuing new equity over all strategies associated with positive reserves at all times.

Over the past century, the amplitude of this climate pattern has varied irregularly at interannual-to-interdecadal timescales.

Several individuals applied these same methods to the problem of creating visual images. The application of the process of evolution to the creation of art has generated incredible results. We hope to build upon the work of these individuals to extend the eld of evolutionary art. We will develop a system by which images based on a genetic code will mutate and mate and by the force of human selection, evolve.
