Algebraic solution of the Stein-Stein model for stochastic volatility
(2011)We provide an algebraic approach to the solution of the Stein-Stein model for stochastic volatility which arises in the determination of the Radon-Nikodym density of the minimal entropy of the martingale measure. We extend ...

Classification of potential symmetries of generalised inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equations
(2003)We consider the class of generalised nonlinear diffusion equations f(x)ut = [g(x)unux]x which are of considerable interest in mathematical physics. We classify the nonlocal symmetries, which are known as potential symmetries, ...

A deductive approach to the solution of the problem of optimal pairs trading from the viewpoint of stochastic control with time-dependent parameters
(2015)In a fairly recent paper (2008 American Control Conference, June 11-13, 1035-1039), the problem of dealing with trading in optimal pairs was treated from the viewpoint of stochastic control. The analysis of the subsequent ...

Differential evolution based identification of automotive hydraulic engine mount model parameters
(2000)Hydraulic engine mounts are commonly used in an automotive applications, and numerical models exist for performing full-vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) studies by means of multibody simulation. The parameters ...

Exact solutions of a remarkable fin equation
(2008)A model 'remarkable' fin equation is singled out from a class of nonlinear (1 + 1)-dimensional fin equations. For this equation a number of exact solutions are constructed by means of using both the classical Lie algorithm ...

Further transformation properties of generalised inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equations with variable coefficients
(2005)We consider the variable coefficient inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equations of the form xput = [xqu nux]x. We present further transformation properties for this nonlinear class of equations that do not appear in the ...

Group analysis of a class of nonlinear Kolmogorov equations
(Springer New York LLC, 2016)A class of (1+2)-dimensional diffusion-convection equations (nonlinear Kolmogorov equations) with time-dependent coefficients is studied with Lie symmetry point of view. The complete group classification is achieved using ...

Group analysis of nonlinear fin equations
(2008)Group classification of a class of nonlinear fin equations is carried out exhaustively. Additional equivalence transformations and conditional equivalence groups are also found. These enable us to simplify the classification ...

Hodograph-type transformations
(2003)We consider second-order evolution equations of the form ut = F1(u,ux)uxx+F2(u,ux) and third order of the form ut = F1(u,ux)u xxx+F2(u,ux,uxx). For each of these equations we construct point transformations which relate ...

Implicit-explicit BDF methods for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
(2004)We consider the periodic initial value problem for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation. We approximate the solution by discretizing in time by implicit-explicit BDF schemes and in space by a pseudo-spectral method. We ...

An inverse method to assign receptances by using classical vibration absorbers
(2009)The classical mass-spring absorber can be thought of as a very simple structural modification. In this paper the inverse problem of assigning receptances to a dynamic system by using one or more simple mass-spring absorbers ...

Modelling and Simulation of Bolted Joints under Harmonic Excitation
(2003)Bolted metal joints under harmonic loading exhibit hysteretic behaviour. This is the major source of damping in frame structures with bolted joints, since the material damping of these structures is very small. In this ...

Numerical investigation of the nonlinear heat diffusion equation with high nonlinearity on the boundary
(2008)A nonlinear heat diffusion problem is considered when the thermal conductivity and heat capacity are nonlinear functions of the temperature. At one of the boundaries a highly nonlinear condition is imposed involving both ...
