Directed graph layout algo

Thanks for the input.We have got nice results with the Yifan Hu algorithm, which is effective in exposing distributors and "end-product" manufacturers, as well as their suppliers.

Directed graph layout algo

<t>Hi,I am digging into directed graph layout algos.I am trying to find a good layout algo that:1) maximises the number of directed edges going from left to right, hence displaying the "value chain" of an industry2) minimises the number of edges crossing each otherHave you got experience in this fie...

ADE Method

<t>If I am not in error, the far-field BC on vol is external. What is a "characteristic boundary" in this context?Unit-transformation is sexy but I get oscillations in the solution due to the (1-sigma) as denominator, when sigma -> 1 (I tested various implementations in the domain range of the produ...

ADE Method

<t>Quote@chocolatemonkey ... the BCs are just Dirichlet. Hi, I have been playing with BCs.I would like to understand the meaning and the purpose of Zvan 1998 BCs (Finite Difference methods in FE dy Duffy on page 243), in particular the far-field BC for vol:According to my numerical experiments, it i...

SABR pde method/code

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: mtsmI hear you, but I would like to be able to dumb things down as much as possible for my own sake. I feel that I need to think about and understand that Fichera stuff a bit more. For domain truncation I would just take a couple of standard deviations and experiment. I...

ADE for SABR - testing the implementation

Thanks for the post.As mentioned previously, I have coded Hagan's closed form and Yanenko. They should work as a reasonable benchmark.Tonight, I will play with the far-end BC on vol to see which one improves the accuracy of ADE vs Hagan.

ADE for SABR - testing the implementation

<t>My goal is to check the performance of some ADE schemes for SABR.I think the performance check for the schemes should be carried on for "typical numbers" (what they are it is up for discussion)At the same time, I will try to stress test the code with pathological parameter values ...Thanks again ...

ADE for SABR - testing the implementation

<t>Thank you, Alan. Thank you, Daniel.I will run the test cases suggested.In general (without looking at a specific product), I think I could assume:1) How high could be the initial volatility for the products for which SABR is used? I think that quoted vol < 20% is a reasonable boundary for the FX ...

ADE for SABR - testing the implementation

<t>Hi,I have implemented ADE schemes for the SABR model.I am now in the process of testing the implementation.? Which choice of parameters would you suggest? In which parameter range should I cherry pick my test cases? This question is of particular concern if Hagan's closed-form expression is chose...

<t>Hi,I was wondering if you could help me understand how the reinsurance structures for asset managers work (for example Greenlight Capital has adopted one).In particular,* What are the gearing requirements for the Reinsurer? What is the maximum D/E requirement?* How much assets can be invested in ...
