Perpetual American straddle option CEN Yuan-jun, YI Fa-huai 2014, 2014 (3):  8-13.  Abstract ( 1413 )   PDF (169KB) ( 2501 )   Save By appplying the comparison principle for the variational inequality, we analyzed the behavior of exercise boundaries for the perpetual American straddle option. We found that it is a free boundary problem. Different from the standard perpetual American option, it has two exercise boundary points with dividends and only one free boundary point without dividends. These results can be understood very well from the financial point of view. We will present a rigorous mathematical proof, and find the bounds of exercise boundaries for the American straddle option with finite expiry. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Long range dependence of Shanghai stock market and pricing of European option XU Lin, XU Ting 2014, 2014 (3):  14-22.  Abstract ( 1214 )   PDF (451KB) ( 2026 )   Save This paper aims at the empirical statistical test of the long range dependence of Shanghai Composite Index and finishes statistical modeling for corresponding financial data and derives the valuation formula for European call option under the model we proposed. Theoretical analysis and numerical examples are given to illustrate the impact of the long range dependence on the option pricing by comparing the option valuation formula under fractional Brownian motion (fBm for short) model and the one under Black-Scholes model. The main statistics we adopted are R/S and modified R/S statistics. Numerical results show that the valuation formula under fBm are much more stable than the one under Black-Scholes model due to the former one has the long range dependence property.

Representation theorem for AVaR under a submodular capacity TIAN De-jian, JIANG Long, JI Rong-lin 2014, 2014 (3):  23-29.  Abstract ( 1360 )   PDF (184KB) ( 2284 )   Save From the viewpoints of quantile functions, we gave the definition of AVaR of financial positions under a capacity. Then, using the classical results of AVaR under the probability measure, we established the representation theorem for AVaR under the submodular capacity. As a byproduct of this representation theorem, we proved that AVaR under a submodular capacity is a coherent risk measure, which generalized the classical results.

An integral-type operator from the minimal Mobius invariant space into the Bloch type space ZHAO Xian-hao, LIANG Yu-xia 2014, 2014 (3):  45-50，59.  Abstract ( 1090 )   PDF (342KB) ( 1729 )   Save By using analysis methods and constructing test functions we obtained some new equivalent conditions for the boundedness and compactness of the integral-type operator $C_\varphi ^g $ from the minimal M$\ddot{\rm o}$bius invariant space into the Bloch-type space. These equivalent conditions give perfect characterizations of $C_\varphi ^g $, which also provide good reference for the study of other integral-type operators.

On strongly power-serieswise McCoy rings WANG Wen-kang 2014, 2014 (3):  60-76.  Abstract ( 1267 )   PDF (233KB) ( 2203 )   Save In this paper, we introduce strongly power-serieswise McCoy rings, which are a generalization of power-serieswise McCoy rings and strongly McCoy rings, and investigate their properties. Let R be a ring and I an ideal of R such that I is reduced, we show that if R/I is strongly  power-serieswise McCoy(resp., power-serieswise McCoy), then R is strongly power-serieswise McCoy(resp., power-serieswise McCoy). A ring R is power-serieswise McCoy if and only if R[x] is power-serieswise McCoy. We find that a class of strongly power-serieswise McCoy  rings of upper triangular matrix ring over strongly  power-serieswise McCoy  rings. Meanwhile, we show that power-serieswise Armendariz rings and reduced rings are strongly power-serieswise McCoy rings. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis for variation of the ebb flow diversion ratios in the North Passage of the Yangtze River Estuary DOU Run-qing, GUO Wen-yun, GE Jian-zhong, DING Ping-xing 2014, 2014 (3):  93-104.  Abstract ( 1866 )   PDF (8258KB) ( 2089 )   Save Based on seasonal bathymetry observations and high-resolution validated FVCOM model, the North and South Passages in the Yangtze River Estuary are studied as an integrated system to determine the dynamic mechanism controlling their flow diversion ratios in recent ten years. The variations of the sectional areas and averaged velocities are analyzed to reveal the interannual patterns of the diversion ratios between these two Passages. The results show the overall trends of the section area and velocity are both decreasing in the North Passage. However, there is an opposite pattern shown in the South Passage. Therefore, the flow diversion ratio decreases in the North Passage while it increases in the South Passage. Although the variations of section areas and flow strength jointly lead to the changes of diversion ratio, the quantitative linear correlation analysis indicates the change of sections areas has more dominant effect on diversion variation than the change of flow velocity.

Impact of wind on the low-salinity water lens in the northeast out of the Changjiang estuary in summer PENG Jian, ZHU Shou-xian, LI Xun-qiang,ZHANG Wen-jing, ZHOU Zhong-gang 2014, 2014 (3):  105-116.  Abstract ( 1381 )   PDF (9878KB) ( 1681 )   Save The expansion of the Changjiang diluted water (CDW) is a dominant hydrographic phenomenon in the East China Sea, which is mainly in the shape of plume. However, there are also some low-salinity lenses (LSWLes) in partial time of some years. The observations show that there wasn’t LSWL in August 1976 while there was in August 1977. The numerical simulations in this paper explained these phenomena. The strength of tide from the end of July to August in 1976 was similar with that in 1977, so as the runoff. And there were both processes of strong leaning south wind from July 21 to August 4. Then the mechanism why there wasn’t LSWL during the process of the strong leaning south wind in summer 1976 is analyzed. The strong leaning south wind and its direction of south-south-east were helpful for pushing CDW northeastward and cutting it to form LSWL. The strongest leaning south wind was from July 26 to 30 when it was the time from neap tide to spring tide, which was the main reason of no LSWL. And the strong leaning south wind was slightly weaker in 1976 than that in 1977, thus it didn’t made so significant effect on LWSL formation as that in 1977. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Purification effect of different aquatic plant configuration modes to the landfill leachate tail water FANG Yan-hui, GUO Xue-yan, FAN Xin-ting, DA Liang-jun 2014, 2014 (3):  117-124.  Abstract ( 1594 )   PDF (931KB) ( 2389 )   Save Based on the water quality of landfill leachate tail water of the Laogang Garbage Landfill in Shanghai, the purification effect to TN, TP and COD in the tail water and biomass changes of three emerged plants Acorus calamus, Iris pseudacorus and Thalia dealbata in different configuration modes under hydrostatic conditions were investigated. Results showed that the purification effect to TN, TP of leachate tail water was distinct, the removal rate being over 75.1%, while the COD removal rate belows 62.8%. TN, TP purification effect of the three plant mixed mode was superior to that of the two mixed modes and the single plant mode; but there are no significant differences to COD removal rate among different modes. It is necessary to consider the actual conditions to select suitable plant configuration mode to ensure more effective purification efficiency because the purification effect is closely related to plant biomass, enrichment of unit volume, and different cooperative purification between plants in purifying water body.

Time-space of multi-dimensional niche of dominant birds in the evergreen broad-leaf forest in Tiantong Mountain, Zhejiang Province ZHANG Hang, DING Hu-lin, LIU Wei, CHEN Xu-cai, SHI Yong-zhi, LI Kai, TANG Si-xian 2014, 2014 (3):  125-133.  Abstract ( 1589 )   PDF (1091KB) ( 2395 )   Save From October 2011 to October 2012, a total of 43 species and 4823 individuals of bird were recorded in the 20 hm2 sample area of the forest ecosystem of Tiantong National Station (Zhejiang Province,China). Black Bulbul (Hypsipetesleucocepalus), Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotussinensis), Chestnut Bulbul (Hypsipetescastanonotus), Black-throated Tit (Aegithalosconcinnus), GreatTit (Parusmajor) and Grey-cheeked Fulvetta (Alcippemorrisonia) were dominant species. Based on vertical, horizontal, DBH and perched 〖JP2〗patterns of dominant bird species, the niche breadth indices by Hurlbert (1978), the niche overlap indices by Schoener (1986). It was discussed that the utilzation states for space, the interspecific relationships of dominant bird species and the space-time niche〖JP〗 changed. The results suggested that: The niches of dominant birds are separation in different dimensions. In different space-time scales,  the niches are dynamically changeable and finally tend to maintain stability in multi-dimension. It was found that the reasons for the dominant birds kept their community structure stable are that these species ecological niches are separating in different dimensions and changing in space and time.

Overexpression of URO gene repress the master switches of secondary cell wall development in Arabidopsis NI Wei-ping, PANG Jing-yang, XU Yan-fei, LI Ling, LI Xiao-fang, SUN Yue 2014, 2014 (3):  134-143.  Abstract ( 1566 )   PDF (2279KB) ( 1709 )   Save There are several transcriptional factors that have been found taking part in secondary cell wall differentiation as master switches in Arabidopsis. However, how these master switches link to the major development event of plant is still unknown. Overexpression of URO (UP-RIGHT ROSETTE) gene leads to much higher free IAA concentration in uro mutant than that in wild type. In this work, the expression levels of the master switch genes were checked in uro/uro and uro/+ mutants through quantity PCR reactions. The results show that expressions of the master switch genes were significantly repressed while the expression of xylem development master switcher genes were not effected when URO gene was over expressing in uro/uro and uro/+ mutants. It can be concluded that URO gene takes part in the integration of secondary cell wall differentiation with the major development process of plant and URO gene could keep plant cell in a growth manner through inhibition of the secondary cell wall development.

From statistical arbitrage to big data study ZHENG Wei-an 2014, 2014 (3):  159-163.  Abstract ( 2062 )   PDF (940KB) ( 3315 )   Save “Big data” is a hot term. However its strict theoretical basis has not been formed yet.The purpose of research in big data is from its application. From their mathematical formulation,big data and massive high-dimensional and high-frequency data have no big difference. From the statistical point of view, the big data study is to find a lower-dimensional stationary time series from the high-dimensional and high-frequency massive data, then use the law of large numbers(the ergodic theorem) to find the value of its application. In finance, that is just statistical arbitrage. References | Related Articles | Metrics
