Leprosy in a texan.

A 69-year-old man from Texas with an unremarkable past medical history presented with a 2-year history of a diffuse, spreading annular eruption involving most of his trunk. He noticed progressive numbness of his hands and feet but no other systemic symptoms. He had never traveled outside of the United States. Skin biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of leprosy, and he was initiated on appropriate ther...

In this paper, we consider the infinite-dimensional integration problem on weighted reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with norms induced by an underlying function space decomposition of ANOVA-type. The weights model the relative importance of different groups of variables. We present new randomized multilevel algorithms to tackle this integration problem and prove upper bounds for their randomi...

In this paper we consider the pricing of an American call option whose underlying asset dynamics evolve under the influence of two independent stochastic volatility processes of the Heston (1993) type. We derive the associated partial differential equation (PDE) of the option price using hedging arguments and Ito’s lemma. An integral expression for the general solution of the PDE is presented b...

Parallell Slump

Samandrag Slumptalsgenerering er eit av dei mest fundamentale og klassiske problema i informatikk. Der er ei lang rekkje kjende gode slumptalsgeneratorar for sekvensielle program. Parallell programmering stiller nye krav til slumptalsgeneratorane, og ulike parallelliseringsparadigme har ulike behov. Når me krev at programmet skal vera deterministisk utelukker me mange av dei vanlegaste løysinga...
