Title of thesis: A NUMERICAL STUDY OF LINK AND PATH DURATIONS IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS Hongqiang Zhang, Master of Science, 2006 Thesis directed by: Professor Richard La Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering A theoretical analysis has shown that under a set of assumptions, the distribution of path duration can be well approximated by an exponential distribution when the path hop cou...

this article is concerned with the question of how much the assured will be entitled to recover following an assured loss. it will be discussed which three elements are involved in this respect; first the loss of assured, second the amount of assuror obligation and third the contractual agreements of the parties in respect of the amount of assuror's payment.it should be noted that franchis...

We describe the pricing and hedging of financial options without use probability using rough paths. By encoding volatility assets in an enhancement price trajectory, we give a pathwise presentation replication European options. The continuity properties rough-paths allow us to generalize so-called fundamental theorem derivative trading, showing that small misspecification model will yield only ...

This paper considers a stochastic version of the shortest path problem, the Stochastic Shortest Path Problem with Delay Excess Penalty on directed, acyclic graphs. In this model, the arc costs are deterministic, while each arc has a random delay, assumed normally distributed. A penalty occurs when the given delay constraint is not satisfied. The objective is to minimize the sum of the path cost...
