Optimizing the returns and Probability of Survival of Insurance Company with time varying Investment returns
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICS - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study focuses on obtaining investment strategies that are optimal in the sense of optimizing the returns and the probability of survival of an insurance company. we take the risk reserve of an insurance company to follow Brownian motion with drift and tackle an optimal portfolio selection problem of the company. The investment case considered was insurance company that trades two assets: the money market account (bond) growing at a rate that is linear function of time anda risky stock with an investment behavior in the presence of a stochastic cash flow or a risk process, continuously in the economy. In particular we solved for the strategy that optimizes the probability of achieving a given upper wealth level before hitting a given lower level. We established among others that, the optimized investment in the risky asset (stock) is horizon dependent and the wealth and the optimal value function of the probability of survival for both utility functions are same.

Tripled coincidence points for weakly compatible and its variants in fuzzy metric spaces
In this paper, we will introduce the concept of weakly commuting and variants of weakly commuting mappings (R-weakly commuting, R-weakly commuting of type (Af), type (Ag), type (P) mappings) for triplet in fuzzy metric s...
Schwarschild metric in six dimensions - a topological study
In this article we introduce some types of the deformtion retracts of the 6D Schwarzchild making use of Lagrangian equations. The retraction of this space into itself and into geodesics has been presented. The relation b...
Stability of Fibonacci Functional Equation
In this paper, we solve the Fibonacci functional equation, f(x)=f(x-1)+f(x-2) and discuss its generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability in Banach spaces and stability in Fuzzy normed space.
Tri-generative Stochastic Model of Population Growth
This paper investigates the population growth of a certain species in which every generation reproduces twice. First we probe the cases of 100% regeneration. We find that the population stabilizes for all the case althou...
