These options provide a stable investment opportunity for investors under the unpredictable and complex financial markets, such as global financial crisis or COVID-19 pandemic, which can induce the drastic changes of the volatility for the underlying asset. Meanwhile, in the financial markets, investors who invest in standard timer options may face the problems caused by the postponement of the exercising time for too low volatility, compared to standard vanilla options. In this regard, to overcome such disadvantages, we propose timer volatility-barrier options, which are activated and expired when the volatility arrives at a relatively low barrier level, with the original properties of the standard timer options. In this paper, by making use of the method of images, we derive an analytical formulas for the timer volatility-barrier options so that the volatility process can be driven by Heston stochastic volatility model, and verify the pricing accuracy of the timer options by comparing our solutions with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we conduct numerical studies on the timer volatility-barrier options to examine the pricing sensitivities with respect to the various model parameters, and implement the discussion for pricing formula of double volatility barrier type of the timer options.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics","volume":"457 ","pages":"Article 116310"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These measures encompass numerous classical risk measures and are capable of quantifying higher-moment risks such as tail skewness and tail kurtosis. Considering the asymmetric and heavy-tailed properties typical of financial and insurance data, we employ the Multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic (MGH) distribution to model risk variables. Within this framework, we derive analytical expressions for the TM and TJM. These results facilitate the precise assessment of portfolio tail risk as well as the tail dependence between risk assets. Furthermore, we present two applications to highlight the benefits and robustness of TM and TJM in risk management and portfolio selection. In the first example, we utilize tail conditional skewness (TCS) and tail conditional kurtosis (TCK) to evaluate the extreme loss risks of assets, which are not typically captured by conventional risk measure such as marginal expected shortfall (MES) and tail variance (TV). In the second example, we concentrate on the dependence of risks in a downside market. Specifically, we use Tail Correlation (TCOR) and Tail Co-skewness (TCOS) to analyze the risk relationships between stocks and the market index during downturns. These risk measures provide crucial insights for portfolio tail risk assessment and hedging against downside market risk.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics","volume":"457 ","pages":"Article 116307"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our goal is to use a new technic to introduce an extension of the core inverse that preserves the interesting property of being an inner inverse of the matrix which need not necessarily be the null matrix of a nilpotent matrix. We define the extended core inverse for square complex matrices combining the sum and the difference of three known generalized inverses.
