1. ## Prime Number Theorem

Can anyone show me how to work this?

Consider the set of all prime numbers less that 80000. Estimate, using the Prime Number Theorem, the proportion which are less than 40000 and the proportion which are less than 8000.

2. There are two simple approximations of the $\pi (n)$ function, which gives the number of primes less or equal to $n$

a) $\pi(n) \approx \frac{n}{\ln n}$ proposed by Gauss

b) $\pi(n) \approx \frac{n}{\ln n - 1,08366}$ proposed by Legendre

If we use a) is…

$\pi(80000) \approx 7086$ , $\pi(40000) \approx 3774$ , $\pi(8000) \approx 890$

If we use b) is…

$\pi(80000) \approx 7838$ , $\pi(40000) \approx 4204$ , $\pi(8000) \approx 1012$

Kind regards

# Quadratic Formula for complex variable with real coefficients

I have been upto proving the following

$$(\forall x\in \mathbb C, ax^2 + b x + c = 0) \land(a\neq0)\Leftrightarrow (x = {\frac {-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}})$$

Due to equality we need to proof bi implication,i.e. $a\Rightarrow b$ and $a\Leftarrow b$.It involves just simple arithmetic to go from roots to quadratic equation, but the other way is bit tricky. This is what I have done so far
$$(\forall x\in \mathbb C, ax^2 + b x + c = 0) \Rightarrow (x = {\frac {-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}})$$

$$(\forall x\in \mathbb C, c = -ax^2 - b x ) \Rightarrow (2ax = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} )$$

$$(\forall x\in \mathbb C, c = -ax^2 - b x ) \Rightarrow (2ax + b = {\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} )$$

Using value of $c$ we get complete square, equation looks like this

$$(\forall x\in \mathbb C, c = -ax^2 - b x ) \Rightarrow ((2ax + b) = {\pm \sqrt{(2ax+b)^2} })$$

On this forum I have found discussion on forms like $$(x = {\pm \sqrt{x^2} })$$ For complex numbers, I had an impression that it is not true. But it raises question on the goal I am trying to proof.So, if I summarize, I need comments regarding

1-is goal legal?

2-If legal then how to deal with resulting form?

3- If not (1), then looking for some alternative approach to handle it.

• Do you have the fundamental theorem of algebra at your disposal? This would settle equivalence once you've shown that the formula gives the two roots. (Watch out for $b^2-4ac = 0$, though). – AlexR Sep 12 '14 at 8:44
• At some point you want to assume the coefficient of $x^2$ is not zero. – Gerry Myerson Sep 12 '14 at 9:19
• @GerryMyerson Right I have edited the question thanks for mentioning – Asad Sep 12 '14 at 10:39

The trinomial

$$ax^2+bx+c=0$$

May be solved when $a,b,c$ are complex numbers, and it works fine with real $a,b,c$, since $\Bbb R\subset\Bbb C$.

However, we'll start with the real case.

Real resolution

$$ax^2+bx+c=0$$

Where $a\neq0$, and $a,b,c\in\Bbb C$.

Then, rewrite the equation

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}=0$$

Then, according to the sign of $\Delta=b^2-4ac$, there are three possibilities:

• If $\Delta=0$, the equation amounts to

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=0$$

It has thus one double root, $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$.

But since $\Delta=0$, we can also write

$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$$

• If $\Delta>0$, then $\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}$ is positive, so it's the square of number $\frac{\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$, and we can write

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\left(\frac{\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}\right)^2=0$$ $$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}+\frac{\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}\right)\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}-\frac{\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}\right)=0$$

Hence

$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$$

• If $\Delta<0$, then the equation has no real solution, since it would amount to

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\frac{\Delta}{4a^2}$$

Where the left-hand side is $\geq0$, whereas the right-hand side is $<0$.

However, we can still write that $\Delta$ is the square of complex number $i\sqrt{4ac-b^2}$, hence we can write

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\left(\frac{i\sqrt{-\Delta}}{2a}\right)^2=0$$ $$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}+\frac{i\sqrt{-\Delta}}{2a}\right)\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}-\frac{i\sqrt{-\Delta}}{2a}\right)=0$$

$$x=\frac{-b\pm i\sqrt{-\Delta}}{2a}$$

But, with the convention that $\sqrt{t}=i\sqrt{-t}$ when $t<0$, we can again write

$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$$

So, in all cases, the solutions are

$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$$

Hence your equivalence holds.

Complex resolution

$$ax^2+bx+c=0$$

Where $a\neq0$, and $a,b,c\in\Bbb C$.

Then, rewrite the equation

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}=0$$

Now, a complex number $z$ has always a square root (two distinct ones if $z\neq0$, see for example here). We go on with a square root $\alpha$ of $b^2-4ac$, that is, $\alpha^2=b^2-4ac$, so that the equation can be written

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\frac{\alpha^2}{4a^2}=0$$

It's a difference of squares, and we know that $A^2-B^2=(A+B)(A-B)$, so

$$\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}+\frac{\alpha}{2a}\right)\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}-\frac{\alpha}{2a}\right)=0$$

So the roots are

$$x=-\frac{b}{2a}\pm\frac{\alpha}{2a}$$

Or if you prefer

$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$

Important note: there is no canonical way to write that $\sqrt{t}$ is a specific square root of $t\in\Bbb C$, hence this symbol is meaningless. However, since it appears with a $\pm$, we will always work with both roots, so using the symbol here is harmless. Nevertheless, it should be avoided.

• S@Jean-Claude Arbaut Thanks for time, I did try this way but I have little problem. As it is allowed to replace $$(\sqrt{{b^2-4*a*c\over 4*a^2}})^2={b^2-4*a*c\over4*a^2}$$ But on removing square root it will give out $2*abs(a)$ which I doubt If I can handle,i.e to replace with "$a$" again. – Asad Sep 12 '14 at 10:36
• @Asad No, $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$, for real $x$, and $(\sqrt{x})^2=x$, for real $x\geq0$. More generally, if $\alpha$ is a square root or a (real or complex) number $\beta$, then you always have $\alpha^2=\beta$. That's the definition of a square root! – Jean-Claude Arbaut Sep 12 '14 at 11:34
• @Asad Yes, sorry, I didn't pay enough attention. You can use the usual resolution for the real case then. But actually it's simpler to say $a,b,c$ are also complex numbers ($\Bbb R\subset\Bbb C$), and do the complex case of the resolution, since you don't have to manage different cases for $b^2-4ac>0$ and $b^2-4ac<0$ and $b^2-4ac=0$. I'll add this to the answer, though. – Jean-Claude Arbaut Sep 12 '14 at 12:10

The cleanest way to show that is probably to set $$z_{\pm} := \frac{-b\pm (b^2-4ac)^{\frac12}}{2a}$$ Where $a,b,c\in\mathbb C$ and see that $$(z-z_+)(z-z_-) = az^2 + bz + c$$ And finally use the FTA to exclude the existence of any further roots.

• Thanks for hint, please refer some material, it would be appreciated if give some book(s)/publication(s) names to further pursue the idea. – Asad Sep 12 '14 at 9:41
• @Asad What do you have in mind? This is about the FTA. – AlexR Sep 12 '14 at 11:27

# What's a coproduct in slice category?

We know that product in slice category $\mathcal{C}\downarrow x$ is pullback in $\mathcal{C}$, but what's a coproduct in $\mathcal{C}\downarrow x$ (described in $\mathcal{C}$)? I tried to picture it as a limit or colimit, without success.

-

The coproduct of $y \to x$ and $z \to x$ is $y \sqcup z \to x$. (Note that the forgetful functor from the slice category back down to $C$ has a right adjoint whenever $C$ has all products by $x$, and in that case it preserves all colimits. But actually it just always preserves all colimits.)
Is $\sqcup$ here a standard notation? How's it pronounced? –  Henning Makholm Jan 24 at 4:03
Ah, I see. So the answer is that if $y$ and $z$ have a coproduct in $\mathcal C$, then that coproduct induces a coproduct in the slice category? But if not, then the two arrows could still have a coproduct in the slice category. –  Henning Makholm Jan 24 at 12:22

The main advantages of VAST follow: it is designed to be as independent from the parser generator as possible, it allows students to visualize the behavior of parsers they develop, and it has an inter-face designed to easily handle huge syntax trees. 27 February. I know that I can use tikz to draw syntax trees, but I can't seem to figure out how to draw a straight line down to a node, which is placed right below the parent node. Using references. With multiple lines. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two pairs of apostrophes like ''this''. ” Explicit teaching of grammar rules and structures may be necessary for students, especially for ELLs gaining academic language. The subset of a tree which is dominated by a single node - such as 'of the Church of England', which is a PP in the final version of Tree #1 in lemon's answer - is known as a constituent because it acts as a unit in syntax. Abstract syntax tree is a tree representation of the abstract syntactic structure of the source code in a programming language. These names are often referred to as syntactic labels (usually written by theinitials of the categories), such as: 6. You can use elements' names like div or p to generate HTML tags. In this section, we'll look at the construction process of that syntax tree. If you are using Apple OS X/macOS, type brew command: brew install tree. Syntax tree diagrams 1.

The syntax is "abstract" in the sense that it does not represent every detail appearing in the real syntax, but rather just the structural or. SOLIDWORKS API Help Other versions:. This is a normal paragraph: This is a code block. jp 18 March, 2013. Introduction. " Syntax allows us to understand that we wouldn't write, "Hit Jillian the ball. derivation trees are commonly used to describe the syntax of sentences in English. You can also create such tree charts in Edraw Max, which is automatic and productive. Merkle trees are data structures that can be used to e ciently verify the integrity of the data they store. To apply semantic rules, you must add actions or semantic predicates to the grammar. In a way, rest syntax is the opposite of spread syntax. Re: Create a tree view in mvc4 razor syntax.

This guideline is especially important for InnoDB tables, where the primary key determines the. An Abstract Syntax Tree is a data structure that uses structure to eliminate parenthesis and other details of textual representation. ASTQuery is the simple idea of applying CSS selectors on Abstract Syntax Tree. But, for that, you need a precise documentation of all the constructors, how they have to be used, and which syntactic construct they correspond to. Points of juncture in tree diagram are called nodes. In short, yes. Interestingly, the fact is that syntax tree diagrams can help you understand the grammatical structure of a sentence in a better and easier way. An abstract syntax tree (AST) is a syntactic structure made to represent the functions that occur within a program. The word “syntax” comes originally from Greek and literally means “a putting together” or “arrangement”. “If you wonder why it’s called tree-shaking: think of your application as a dependency graph, this is a tree, and each export is a branch. Extra Syntax Practice November 4, 2011 Try drawing tree structures for the following sentences using the phrase structure rules below: CP C S S NP VP VP VP PP NP (D) N' S CP VP VP VP CP N' N PP P NP VP V (NP) N' A N' PP P S VP Aux VP. For every derivation, there is a corresponding tree: a parse tree Each node in the parse tree corresponds to one symbol in the BNF grammar Leaves in the parse tree correspond to terminal symbols; internal nodes correspond to nonterminal symbols The root of the parse tree is the "start" symbol. by Josh Varty. So, for a three year old, their average number of words per utterance is 3, and for a 4 year old, we would expect an average of 4 words per utterance. Each tree constitutes one root node and often more than one concluding nodes. Common applications of recursive CTEs include series generation and traversal of hierarchical or tree-structured data. This means that it contains just about everything you need to be able to figure out precisely what is going on in someone's code — all without ever having to delve into regex or other text parsing messiness. Used for integrating with JavaScript build tools. Syntax Tree Editor isn't the only program that you can use to create syntax tree diagrams. Teaching grammar in context of student’s own writing and in read-alouds is a powerful way to make learning about syntax more meaningful, giving them more opportunities to learn what “sounds right. Constituency Tests 98. In ASTs, you recursively evaluate the children of a node, which doesn't make much sense here (you cannot say, "What is $\times 5$?"). 0, script blocks have an AST property. phpSyntaxTree allows you to generate graphical syntax trees from labelled bracket notation phrases. Common table expressions are an optional part of the syntax for DML statements. However, everyone is encouraged to get involved and yes there is a GitHub project too. Syntax tree is usually used when represent a program in a tree structure. What is Syntax analysis? Syntax analysis is a second phase of the compiler design process that comes after lexical analysis. An abstract syntax tree can be compiled into a Python code object using the built-in compile. Illustrate the syntax-directed translation defined above by drawing the parse tree for the expression 2 + 3 * 4, and annotating the parse tree with its translation (i. CONNECT_BY_ROOT is a unary operator that is valid only in hierarchical queries. An abstract syntax tree can be generated by passing ast. This is because reading good writing provides you with models of English sentence structure that will have a positive influence on your own written work. The first NounPhr and VerbPhr are sisters, and so are TrVerb and the second NounPhr, but drafted and the second instance of the are not (they don't have the same mother). There are plenty of tree examples on the site, (just clicking on the tikz-trees or tikz-qtree tags will show you lots of examples. die Rede sein kann. d) The glass broke. Yield of Parse Tree. A squirrel is in the tree. Both members are on an equal footing, and they can be paraphrased with ‘and’’ –a father-daughter event •‘and’ in some form in the compound (if these are compounds) –p’s-&-q’s –odds-n-ends. Let us find out how can a tree diagram be used to understand the rules of language. It is as if the speaker is an impartial witness, viewing the scene in the morning “light” of pure reason. New in version 2. The tree represents all of the constructs in the language and their subsequent rules. The tree structure of the Python abstract syntax tree is more involved because of the count of its nodes and the type of data stored, yet the core idea of nodes and edges is the same. ) now supports SVG. The above command will display the tree structure of the current directory. Blockquotes > Email-style angle brackets > are used for blockquotes. Usually the person who does this has some theory of grammar that the tree is supposed to conform to. It is based on the source code of the programming. Note : In the following sections, interfaces are described using the syntax of TypeScript interface. Here is a start. TryGetRoot(SyntaxNode) Gets the root of the syntax tree if it is available. An example is binary expressions like 1 + 2 A simple expression like that would create a single root node holding a right and left node that holds the data about the numbers. The complexity of a writer's or speaker's sentences creates a formal or informal level of diction that is presented to its audience. For example, assume a Microsoft. Source-to-source systems, including syntax-directed editors and automatic parallelization tools, often use an ast from which source code can easily be regenerated. Illustrate the syntax-directed translation defined above by drawing the parse tree for the expression 2 + 3 * 4, and annotating the parse tree with its translation (i. We evaluate SyntaxSQLNet on a new large-scale text-to-SQL corpus containing databases with multiple tables and complex SQL queries containing multiple SQL clauses and nested queries. Syntax is a tool used in writing proper grammatical sentences. The term syntax (E Greek ‘arrangement’) is used to refer to the rules of a language for the grouping of words into larger units, i. Next, we create the SimpleMemberAccessExpression and pass it the two identifiers. Concrete syntax tree – This is a more formal version of our abstract syntax tree and would include representations of literally everything written in the source file (parentheses, semicolons, the lot). The parser analyzes the source code (token stream) against the production rules to detect any errors in the code. Author information: (1)Laboratory of Neuroinformatics and Department of Physiology, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, 1300 York Avenue, New York, NY, 10065, USA.

The Syntax Visualizer also allows you to view a Directed Syntax Graph for selected sub-trees in case you want a more detailed graphical view of the nodes in this sub-tree. : abstract syntax tree (AST)) inzwischen recht einheitlich verwendet, wobei die Terminologie auch hier schwankt und z. C# (CSharp) Microsoft. In the context of IDL compilers, there is the issue of the structure of the abstract syntax tree for IDL specifications. The role of the parser is to convert the source code that is a byte sequence to a syntax tree. Each node of the tree denotes a construct occurring in the source code. Ideally, the editor includes a full parser for the language, and is able to use the parser to fully read in source code and regenerate it on the fly for the purposes of reformatting the. It doesn’t need the syntax tree because it’s not going to be processed yet. ElementTree provides limited support for XPath expressions. A parse tree is a record of the rules (and tokens) used to match some input text whereas a syntax tree records the structure of the input and is insensitive to the grammar that produced it.

The nodes that are neither root nor terminal nodes will be called intermediate nodes. The actual parsing takes place when necessary, just before the function is executed. What is Syntax analysis? Syntax analysis is a second phase of the compiler design process that comes after lexical analysis. Compilers often keep an explicit data structure that corresponds to this tree and use this data structure for code generation. As a note for the future: if you need a.

Have you ever seen seals at the zoo? They are fascinating animals.

Jonah loves working with the seals. In fact, he learns more and more about them every day. One day when he arrived at work, Jonah discovered that there had been a new baby seal pup born the night before. The workers at the zoo had weighed the new pup and his mother just that morning. The mother seal had weighed 157 pounds when she had been weighed alone. The combined weight of both the Mother and pup was 171 pounds.

What did the new pup weigh?

To figure this out, you will need to understand how to subtract whole numbers. Pay close attention and you will learn all that you need to know in this Concept.

### Guidance

Just like you have been adding whole numbers for a long time, you have been subtracting them for a long time too. Let’s think about what it means to subtract.

Subtraction is the opposite of addition. Hmmm.... What does that mean exactly? It means that if you can add two numbers and get a total, then you can subtract one of those numbers from that total and end up with the other starting number.

In other words, Subtraction is the opposite of addition. When you add two numbers you get a total, when you subtract two numbers, you get the difference.

159=\begin{align*}15-9=\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\end{align*}

This is a pretty simple example. If you have fifteen of something and take away nine, what is the result? Think about how we can do this problem. First, we need to rewrite the problem vertically, just like we did when we were adding numbers. Remember to line up the digits according to place value.

15 96\begin{align*}15\\ \underline{ - \ 9}\\ 6\end{align*}

This could probably be completed using mental math.

12,456237=\begin{align*}12, 456 - 237 = \underline{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\end{align*}

Our first step is to line up these digits according to place value. Let’s look at what this will look like in our place value chart.

Ten Thousands Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
1 2 4 5 6
2 3 7

Wow! This problem is now written vertically. We can go ahead and subtract.

12,456   237\begin{align*}12,456\\ \underline{ \ - \ \ 237}\end{align*}

To successfully subtract these two values, we are going to need to regroup.

What does it mean to regroup?

When we regroup we borrow to make our subtraction easier. Look at the ones column of the example. We can’t take 7 from 6, so we borrow from the next number. The next number is in the tens column, so we can “borrow a 10” to subtract. If we borrow 10, that makes the 5 into a 4. We can make the 6 into 16 because 10+6=16\begin{align*}10 + 6 = 16\end{align*}. There’s the 10 we borrowed.

Let’s put that into action.

Be careful-be sure you subtract according to place value. Don’t let the regrouping mix you up.

Now try a few of these on your own. Subtract the following whole numbers.

#### Example A

67459=\begin{align*}674 - 59 =\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\end{align*}

Solution: 615

#### Example B

15,987492=\begin{align*}15,987 - 492 =\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\end{align*}

Solution: 15,495

#### Example C

22,45618,297=\begin{align*}22,456 - 18, 297 =\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\end{align*}

Solution: 4,159

Remember the Mother and the new baby seal pup? Well now that you have learned how to subtract whole numbers, you are ready to go back and look at that problem.

Here is the original problem once again.

Have you ever seen seals at the zoo? They are fascinating animals. Jonah loves working with the seals. In fact, he learns more and more about them every day. One day when he arrived at work, Jonah discovered that there had been a new baby seal pup born the night before. The workers at the zoo had weighed the new pup and his mother just that morning. The mother seal had weighed 157 pounds when she had been weighed alone. The combined weight of both the Mother and pup was 171 pounds.

What did the new pup weigh?

To figure this out, we will need to write a subtraction problem. We know that the mother seal weighed 157 pounds and the combined weight of the mother and new pup was 171 pounds.

If we subtract 157 from 171, we will have the weight of the new pup.

171157=\begin{align*}171 - 157 =\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\end{align*}

The answer is 14. The seal pup weighed fourteen pounds.

### Guided Practice

Subtract the following values.

567391=\begin{align*}567 - 391 =\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\end{align*}

To subtract these values, we first have to line up the values according to place value. Then we subtract. Don't forget to regroup.

567 - 391 = 176

This is an interesting and not so easy question. Here's my 2 cents: First, you should distinguish between mathematical models for the dynamics of an underlying asset (Black-Scholes, Merton, Heston etc.) and numerical methods designed to calculate financial instruments' prices under given modelling assumptions (lattices, Fourier inversion techniques etc.). ...

Here's a research note devoted to pricing of CMS by means of a stochastic volatility model. The authors indicate in the Introduction that an analysis of the coupon structure leads to the conclusion that CMS contracts are particularly sensitive to the asymptotic behavior of implied volatilities for very large strikes. Market CMS rates actually drive the ...

Okay just to wind things down here, I think an important clarification is needed if readers might come and seek to a similar solution. The Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) is a model of asset prices dynamics which is usually given as follows: $$dS_t = \mu S_t dt + \sigma S_t dB_t$$ where $B_t$ is a standard brownian motion which has several important ...

To recover the Black-Scholes pricing equation, you should first express the standard normal cdf in terms of its characteristic function analogous to the Heston solution: $$N(x) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{\pi} \int_0^{\infty} Re [\frac{e^{-i\phi x} f(\phi)}{i\phi}] d\phi$$ where $f(\phi)$ is the characteristic function of the standard normal distribution: $$... 9 The way that I understand your question is that you are looking to fit the market prices of European plain vanilla options of a single maturity and then back out the corresponding implied probability density function. There are multiple ways that you could approach your problem. 1) Modelling the Market Prices The market prices of European plain vanilla ... 9 Along with Gatheral's book, I'd recommend reading Lorenzo Bergomi's "Stochastic Volatility Modelling". The first 2 chapters are available for download on his website. That being said, let me try to give you the basic picture. Below we assume that the equity forward curve F(0,t)=\Bbb{E}_0^\Bbb{Q}[S_t] is given for all t smaller than some relevant ... 9 1. What does it mean by the vol surface is the current view of vol? The local volatility model is calibrated to vanillas prices (and equivalently their implied volatilities), which reflect the market's view of the volatility, in order to use it to use it to price other options that one will hedge with the vanillas. Where a Black-Scholes model (no smile) ... 8 X_t being a stochastic process, one cannot use ordinary calculus to express the differential of a (sufficiently well-behaved) function f of t and X_t. Instead one should turn to Itô's lemma, one of the key results of stochastic calculus, which stipulates (assuming X_t is here a continuous, square integrable stochastic process)$$ df(t,X_t) = \frac{...

The SABR model has an overly fat right tail. If you do the CMS replication using cash-settled swaptions you find that you need ridiculously high strikes.

7

[Short answer] No closed-form formula in general. You need to resort to numerical methods. Monte Carlo is preferred by most practitioners but you could also use Finite Difference schemes (and sometimes even Fourier inversion techniques depending on the model used and the instruments to be priced). [Long answer] One usually distinguishes between 2 classes ...

Some Notations It's easy to get lost so let's introduce some notations and let $$\sigma : (t, S, K, \tau) \to \sigma(K,\tau; S, t)$$ denote the implied volatility smile prevailing at time $t$ when the spot price is $S_t=S$ for an option with strike level $K$ and time to expiry $\tau=T-t$. From here onward, we drop the $t$ argument to keep notations ...

I'm guessing, and correct me if I'm wrong, you want to create a number of possible paths the stock price could follow with the local volatilty given by GARCH depending on the simulated history, or in pseudocode: N <- numberOfPaths T <- numberOfSteps for (i in 1:N) { newSeries <- pastPrices for (t in 1:T) { epsilon <- normrnd(0,1) ...

You have to ask yourself what the ultimate purpose of this parameterization is. In their case, they imply the "end-goal is martingale pricing or maximum-likelihood estimation", both of which are ultimately about capturing long-period dynamics rather than intraday or interday behavior. For this reason, the fact that intraday variance may, ahem, vary around ...

There are lots of papers online and here are a few I would suggest math.umn riskworx G. Dimitroff, J. de Kock Nowak, Sibetz I you have matlab there is an step step example to calibrate SABR model.

This effect is coming from the supply and demand in the options markets. Many portfolio managers want (or need) to buy out of the money put options, and many are willing to sell out of the money call options (thereby funding the purchase of put options). Now, when the market goes down, dealers find themselves short vol and they need to buy options to cover ...

6

If I got this right, you get a SABR model from fitting market implied volatilites (from market price via Black) to SABR volatilites (from SABR parameters via formula above). Then you step back and think the SABR distribution needs improvement because it is not arbitrage free. Instead you use the collocation method to replace it with its projection onto a ...

In the context of option pricing, "implied volatility" always refers to the equivalent diffusion coefficient in the geometric Brownian motion (GBM) dynamics that is necessary to match an observed European plain vanilla price for a given strike and maturity. When talking about "model implied volatility smile", what is meant is that: You choose some pricing ...

5

For pricing, there are a few products whose prices are sensitive to the forward smile and when you compute that with just local vol, it is not realistic. So if you are a seller, you go to the next church and find something that looks kindof reasonable, and that kind of can reconstruct a reasonnable forward smile structure. The game in pricing is to not ...

I am going to supply an answer that is quite similar to SRKX's (which is very very good) because I want to discuss in more detail a few important things. First, you cannot use a stochastic volatility model for the SDE that you've provided as that's GBM with constant diffusion. However, based on what you've said it's obvious you wish to model a discretized ...

Whenever you use any model to price anything, all you need to do is make sure you model the underlying dynamics that the product you're pricing actually depends on. Any product will be dependent on numerous facets, to varying degrees - this is the same with modelling anything. The modelling that happens in pricing financial derivatives is an integration ...

5

It's really quite simple. It's just a matter of the fact that we can change measure on the stochastic volatility while not changing the fact that the stock is a martingale. Once we can do this, we have payoffs that have different values under different measures, so the market can't be complete. For clarity, just consider a stock S, a money market account ...

Let $dS_t = \mu_tS_tdt + \sigma_tS_tdW_t$ be the underlying GBM (Geometric Brownian Motion)-like dynamics as in the question.

Its main use is in getting American option price. There is no real difference other than slight inaccuracy when using it for Europeans. So no it wouldn't do what you ask. Your questions are philosophical. What is the purpose of the model? if you estimate the volatility from a time series then you can ... 5 I am not sure if I understood your question correctly but I will try to answer it anyway. If you have a standard normal random vector z \sim N(\mathbb{0},I_n) (where z,0 \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times1} and I_n \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n} is the identity matrix) and you want to transform it into a multivariate normal x \sim N(\mu,\Sigma) you do it the ... 5 Because vanilla derivatives with European exercise depend only on total variance , not on it's dynamics in time. If you have a simpler model (like interpolation of these total variances from your volatility surface) you don't have as much of unobservable parameters stochastic volatility models have. Having more parameters (which many times would need to be ... 5 I think you did something wrong in translating the input to numerics. As pointed out by dm63 normal vols are quoted in basis points. Using equation A.67a) from the Hagan paper you linked we see (setting \beta = 0)$$\sigma_N(K) = \alpha\frac{\xi}{x(\xi)}\left[1+\frac{2-3\rho^2}{24}\nu^2\tau_{exp}\right] where $\tau_{exp} = 0.25$ in your example and ...

5

The following paper is helpful for understanding the point you raise: Hagan et al.: Managing Smile Risk, January 2002, Wilmott 1:84-108 The main point is given in the paper: [...] the dynamics of the market smile predicted by local vol models is opposite of observed market behavior: when the price of the underlying decreases, local vol models ...

5

This depends largely on the model as well as the market, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Let us take the Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho (SABR) model, which has four parameters, as an example: $\alpha$, the initial instantaneous volatility of an ATM option. This is calibrated frequently and often intra-day due to the importance of ATM options. $\beta$, ...

The model is similar to the Barndorﬀ-Nielsen - Shephard model. But this model is much more general. On the other hand in this paper by Heston it is exactly your form that is used. Already Scott in 1987 considered a model of your form (see this) Finally in this thesis you find the names Hull-White model (of course there is the interest rate model too) and ...

The standard realized volatility calculation assumes an underlying model: geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility. Then realized vol squared is an unbiased estimator of the process volatility squared. If you want to move beyond Black Scholes then you have two possibilities: look at a different formal model and the estimators for its ...

# What to pad DES key with? [closed]

As a bit of practice, I'm reinventing the wheel by implementing DES in python. Before I even got beyond the first function, I came across a problem... With key legorooj, which happens to be "64" bits, that should work as a DES key. However, when I use python's built in binary transformation function, I get 56 bits. What should I do? Should I pad the input bits?

• This is rather a programming question. The 'b' removes the leading zeros. Use this Dec 11 '19 at 8:12
• The whole idea that "legorooj" is a legal key for DES is completely flawed; keys are not character strings (nothing to do with your name in particular, although names are likely to be even worse keys, of course). That you should pad (or prune) keys when they do not comply to a specific format is possibly even more flawed. Use a password based key derivation function if you want to use a password. Otherwise, if you must use text to represent a (symmetric) key, use hexadecimals of the actual key in bytes instead. Dec 11 '19 at 13:54
• @Maarten-reinstateMonica I know all about the insecurity of not using a KDF. You've told me that many times, and I'm paranoid too : ). When testing code, I don't bother with the KDF. I use something that works to check the code. The question was about what to do when the key's bits were only 7 per char; but that turned out to be my programming. Dec 11 '19 at 22:24
• what you're doing seems like a very inefficient way to implement DES (splitting chars up into bitstrings etc.) Just use a good C library with Python bindings if you think you must implement this ancient algorithm in the first place (why not AES?).. Dec 12 '19 at 5:36
• @HennoBrandsma AES is actually my end goal; I'm learning DES first. Sometimes reinventing the wheel is good practice. Dec 12 '19 at 5:43

The '0b' representation removes leading 0's. The actual value (as a byte) of l (lowercase letter L) as a binary 8bit byte is 01101100 and likewise for the others (they are lower ASCII, so the highest bit is 0).
Note that the effective DES-key is actually 56 bits effectively; the least significant bit is a "parity bit", in the official standard, it should be set or unset so that the total parity of the byte is odd: so 011011010  is made the same (as an effective key byte) as 'm' which is 01101101. These final bits are not used in the algorithm anyway.

# Joe's Big Book of String

I will try, for a time, to provide brief updates on recent developments and improved explanations of rough spots in the text.

Last update: April 25, 1999.

• Volume I:
• Section 1.4, p. 29 (4/4/99): The following point is made implicitly in several places, but it is useful to make it explicit. In unoriented theories, the orientation-reversing diffeomorphisms are gauge symmetries (configurations differing by such a diffeomorphism are physically equivalent), while in oriented theories they are not. The projection \Omega=+1, like the projection 1.4.11, is then a projection onto gauge-invariant states. (Thanks to F. Ferrari)
• Section 2.1, p. 34 (4/25/99): For consistency with the discussion in chapter 1, let \sigma= - \sigma^1 and \tau = \sigma^0.
• Section 2.3, p. 42 (4/4/99): Regarding the discussion of hermiticity, one can think of the Euclidean time derivative as anti-Hermitean, due to eq. A.1.36. Incidentally, the current defined in eq. 2.3.13 is actually anti-Hermitean because of the explicit "i". A more detailed discussion appears on pages 202-203, but this is perhaps too abstract for the reader at this point. (Thanks to L. Motl)
• Section 2.4, p. 46 (12/6/98): Eq. 2.4.12 is correct but the explanation is slightly confusing: it gives eq. 2.4.12 at the point z=0, but it is equally true at any other point (just do a translation). (Thanks to M. Maggiore)
• Section 2.4, p. 48 (4/4/99): Below eq. 2.4.24, the implicit assumptions are that T has weight (2,0) under scaling and that there are no operators of negative dimension. There are interesting exceptions to the latter (non-unitary CFTs), but eq. 2.4.24 still follows from the assumption that T generates conformal transformations. (Thanks to F. Ferrari)
• Section 3.2, p. 84 (11/30/98): Several students have found the discussion in the final paragraph of this section confusing. It is a trivial aside, and can be omitted.
• Section 3.3, p. 86-88 (4/4/99): My implementation of the Faddeev--Popov procedure is more roundabout than necessary. Here is a shorter version, based on a suggestion of R. Stora. First, change the definition of the Faddeev--Popov determinant:

1 = \int [d\zeta] \Delta_{FP}(g^\zeta) \delta(g^\zeta - \hat{g})

Since \Delta multiplies the delta-function it is defined only when its argument is on the gauge slice, but that is all that we will need. Now insert this into the functional integral 3.3.1. Use the gauge invariance of measure times e^{-S} to write

[dX dg] e^{-S(X,g)} = [dX^\zeta dg^\zeta] e^{-S(X^\zeta,g^\zeta)}

Now only X^\zeta and g^\zeta appear, so rename dummy variables

(X^\zeta,g^\zeta) \to (X,g)

and integrate over g to obtain 3.3.14. In particular, the obscure footnote on page 87 is avoided.

• Section 3.3, p. 89 (4/4/99): F. Ferrari feels that the derivation of the weights of b and c, though it gives the right answer, is rather ad hoc and suggests that a proper derivation must be within the framework of the BRST formalism; similarly for the calculation of the Weyl anomaly in section 3.4. I agree that the argument is somewhat ad hoc and that the BRST formalism is the most systematic way to proceed, but it should be possible to address the issue of gauge-independence (especially for a restricted class of gauges such as those in which the metric is fixed) without introducing the full BRST formalism (compare sections 4.1 and 4.2). I preferred this for pedagogic reasons; the logic could be tightened, but I believe that it is correct.
• Section 3.3, pp. 97--98 (11/30/98): I state that the relation between long world-sheet cylinders and large spacetime distances will be become evident. Where exactly? Not until chapter 9. There it is shown that a long cylinder (as in figure 9.3c) gives rise to a momentum space pole (as in eq. 9.5.2); the pole is a resonance from an on-shell intermediate state, and corresponds under Fourier transform to long distance propagation. This point (and the general discussion of unitarity) got pushed back in successive drafts, though it does show up implicitly in the tree level calculations of chapter 6.
• Section 3.6, p. 105 (4/4/99): A. Papazoglou askes for a derivation of eq. 3.6.15. Here's a hint for 3.6.15a: note that the left-hand side is the same as $\half \partial_a \delta_W \Delta(\sigma,\sigma)$ (the derivative acts on each argument, giving two terms that are equal by symmetry of \Delta).
• Section 7.3, p. 221 (12/31/98): M. Headrick asks for more explanation of the statement that "the description of a quantum field theory as a sum over particle paths is not as familiar as the description in terms of a sum over field histories, but it is equivalent." Starting in Euclidean spacetime, consider the operator $\exp{-t(-\del_\mu \del_mu + m^2)}$. One can think of this as the evolution operator for a nonrelativistic particle moving in D space dimensions, where t is an auxiliary variable, a sort of internal time. It then has a path integral representation as in appendix A, where one sums over spacetime paths. Now integrating over t produces $(-\del_\mu \del_mu + m^2)^{-1}$, the scalar propagator. Thus we have a path sum representation for the propagator --- in fact, this is obtained in exercise 5.1, after gauge-fixing. Allowing vertices where three or more paths meet at a point, one obtains the Feynman graph expansion for scalar field theory. One can also rotate back to Minkowski spacetime, as on pp. 82--83. This can be generalized to particles with spin. However, it does not seem to be as powerful as the field representation: it does not have a natural nonperturbative extension; nonlinear symmetries are less manifest; for non-static Minkowski signature spacetimes it is hard to formulate.
• Section 7.4, p. 223 (4/4/99): In eq. 7.4.1, the factor of 2 in the denominator has the same origin as the 1/2 in 7.3.1.
• Section 9.8, p. 321 (4/18/99): L. Motl asks for a derivation of eq. 9.8.14. Hint: in the second line introduce an integral of {\bf k} such that "m^2" becomes "m^2 + {\bf k}^2". Then integrate over t (result comes out in terms of elementary functions). Finally, the sum on r is the series expansion of the log in the first line. (Added as exercise 9.10 in third printing).
• Volume II:
• Section 14.8: Under construction: I intend to give a brief explanation of the Maldacena conjecture, and its relation to Matrix Theory.
• Section 18.3 (1/18/99): In my discussion of scales, based primarily on the perturbative heterotic string, the compactification, unification, and string scales are all near the Planck scale. So what's all the recent discussion of TeV scale string theory and millimeter dimensions? The main idea can be understood from figure 18.2. Imagine that the size of the extra dimension is increased, so the energy scale of the kink in the gravitational coupling is lowered. What happens? The gravitational coupling now meets the other three at a lower energy, before they have unified: thus we lose the simple unification of the four couplings. Let us ignore this, supposing a less standard gauge unification that produces a different unification scale (one possibility is mentioned at the end of this note). We then have two scales: the compactification scale where the gravitational coupling gets a kink, and the string scale where the gravitational coupling is of order one and meets the gauge couplings.

So how low can these scales be? The simplest bounds are that the compactification scale be at least $10^{-4}$ eV (the inverse of 1 mm) and the string scale be at least 1 TeV. The latter comes from the non-observation of string physics at particle accelerators. The former comes from the Cavendish experiment: if the extra dimension were larger the inverse square law would be seen to turn into an inverse cube. Remarkably, it is not easy to improve on these bounds. Proton stability, cosmology, and many other constraints must be taken into account, and unless the model is very contrived these may raise the scales somewhat, but this still leaves open the possibility of a very new picture of physics above the weak scale.

By the way, the discussion of figure 18.2 is for gauge fields in 4 dimensions and gravity in 5, but more generally the gauge fields may live in 4 and gravity in 4+k, with the rest at the string scale (that is, the gauge fields live on a 3-brane embedded in some higher space). The dimensionless gravitational coupling is $\kappa^2 E^{2+k} R^k$. Setting this to O(1) determines the approximate string scale. The reader can check that for k=2, the largest possible size (1 mm) gives also the lowest possible string scale (1 TeV). Incidentally, A. Hashimoto points out that the kink in figure 18.2 has been exaggerated, and corresponds to k = 3 rather than k = 1 as intended.

There have been various discussions over the years of large dimensions in which both gauge fields and gravity propagate. As noted in figure 18.1, taken by itself this is inconsistent with perturbative unification of gauge interactions and gravity, because the gauge coupling becomes strong while the gravitational coupling is still very weak. Again, strong interactions allow new possibilities. One that has been recently discussed is a hybrid, a kink in the gravitational coupling at a very low scale plus a kink in the gauge couplings at a higher scale such that they still meet. It has been argued that this can produce the accelerated gauge unification that is needed when the string scale is lowered.

One review of this subject is N. Arkani-Hamed, S. Dimopoulos, and G. Dvali, "Phenomenology, Astrophysics and Cosmology of Theories with Sub-Millimeter Dimensions and TeV Scale Quantum Gravity," hep-ph/9807344.
