Monte Carlo simulation of uncoupled continuous-time random walks yielding a stochastic solution of the space-time fractional diffusion equation.

TL;DR: A numerical method is presented for the Monte Carlo simulation of uncoupled continuous-time random walks with a Lévy alpha -stable distribution of jumps in space and a Mittag-Leffler distribution of waiting times to obtain an accurate approximation of space- and time-fractional diffusion processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computer simulation of topological defects around a colloidal particle or droplet dispersed in a nematic host.

TL;DR: By studying density and order-parameter maps, this work is able to examine behavior near the particle surface, and in the disclination core region, where the elastic theory is inapplicable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochastic calculus for uncoupled continuous-time random walks

TL;DR: It is shown how the definition of the stochastic integrals can be used to easily compute them by Monte Carlo simulation and it is proved that, as a consequence of the martingale transform theorem, if the CTRW is aMartingale, the Itō integral is a Martingale too.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spitzer identity, Wiener-Hopf factorization and pricing of discretely monitored exotic options

TL;DR: This work proposes a constructive procedure for the computation of the Wiener-Hopf factors, valid for both single and double barriers, based on the combined use of the Hilbert and the z-transform, and shows that the computational cost is independent of the number of monitoring dates and the error decays exponentially with thenumber of grid points.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of saving propensity on the power-law tail of the wealth distribution

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that in a finite system of agents with a continuous saving propensity distribution, a power-law tail with Pareto exponent α = 1 can appear also when agents do not have saving propensities distributed over the whole interval between zero and one.
