A strike reset option is an option that allows its holder to reset the strike price to the prevailing underlying asset price at a moment chosen by the holder. The pricing model of the option can be formulated as a one-dimensional parabolic variational inequality, or equivalently, a free boundary problem, where the free boundary just corresponds to the optimal reset strategy adopted by the holde...

statistical frequency analysis is the most common procedure for the analysis of flood data at a gauged location thatin first step it is needed to select a model to represent the population. among them, the central moment has been themost common and widely used, and with the using of computers, the application of the maximum likelihood hasincreased. this research was carried out in order to reco...

In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the definition of innovative “minimal-damage structures,” chasing need for more resilient societies against extreme seismic events. this context, moment resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with self-centering damage-free (SCDF) devices column bases and beam-to-column joints represent a viable solution to improve structural resilience dama...

Hyperfine fields of highly-charged heavy ions carrying at least one electron are proving to be of considerable utility for magnetic-moment measurements on radioactive beams. The method has long been referred to as the recoil in vacuum (RIV) technique [1]. An overview of recent progress is given, covering some essentials of the free-ion hyperfine fields [2, 3], applications to moment measurement...

Reactive hyporcmia in the finger was investigated in 16 experiments on 5 normal subjects, using venous occlusion plethysmography. Since the flow is so variable from moment to moment, the simultaneous "corrected" flow in a control finger, not occluded, was subtracted from tho flow in the test finger, so the difference gave the effect of occlusion free from fluctuations of central origin. The abs...

Measurement error causes a downward bias when estimating a panel data linear regression model. The panel data context offers various opportunities to derive moment conditions that result in consistent GMM estimators. We consider three sources of moment conditions: (i) restrictions on the intertemporal covariance matrix of the errors in the equations, (ii) heteroskedasticity and nonlinearity in ...

We prove that a probability measure on the real line has a moment of order p (even integer), if and only if its R-transform admits a Taylor expansion with p terms. We also prove a weaker version of this result when p is odd. We then apply this to prove that a probability measure whose R-transform extends analytically to a ball with center zero is compactly supported, and that a free infinitely ...
