A compound interest approach to HIV cure

In the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-1 infection is no longer tantamount to early death. Yet the benefits of treatment are available only to those who can access, afford, and tolerate taking daily pills. True cure is challenged by HIV latency, the ability of integrated virus to persist within memory CD4T cells in a transcriptionally quiescent state and reactivate when ART is disconti...

Competitive Analysis for Online Leasing Problem with Compound Interest Rate

and Applied Analysis 3 defined the same as 1.1 with Coston I;A replaced by E Coston I;A , which is the expected value of A’s cost on input I. The online leasing problem has been investigated by many authors 13–15 . For the continuous version, the optimal deterministic and randomized competitive ratios are 2 and e/ e − 1 ≈ 1.582, respectively 2, 3 . When considering alternative financial decisio...

The Miracle of Compound Interest: Does our Intuition Fail?

We use a randomized experiment to explore the accuracy of people’s intuition about how money accumulates over time. We ask half of our sample to guess how a given amount of savings translates into spending power during retirement. The other half of the sample is asked to guess how much savings are needed to finance a given amount of spending during retirement. From an economic point of view, bo...

Catastrophe options with stochastic interest rates and compound Poisson losses

We analyze the pricing and hedging of catastrophe put options under stochastic interest rates with losses generated by a compound Poisson process. Asset prices are modeled through a jump-diffusion process which is correlated to the loss process. We obtain explicit closed form formulae for the price of the option, and the hedging parameters Delta, Gamma and Rho. The effects of stochastic interes...
