商品描述

Entropies and Fractionality: Entropy Functionals, Small Deviations and Related Integral Equations starts with a systematization and calculation of various entropies (Shannon, Rényi, and some others) of selected absolutely continuous probability distributions. The properties of the entropies are analyzed. Subsequently, a related problem is addressed: the computation and investigation of the properties of the entropic risk measure, Entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR).

Next, the book computes and compares entropy values for the one-dimensional distributions of various fractional Gaussian processes. Special attention is then given to fractional Gaussian noise, where the authors conduct a detailed analysis of the properties and asymptotic behavior of Shannon entropy. Additionally, two alternative entropy functionals are introduced which are more suitable for analytical investigation.

Furthermore, relative entropy functionals for the sum of two independent Wiener processes with drift are considered, and their minimization and maximization are explored. A similar problem is addressed for a mixed fractional Brownian motion (i.e., the sum of a Wiener process and a fractional Brownian motion) with drift. The entropy minimization problem is reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, and its unique solvability is thoroughly investigated.

In the final part of the book, the optimization of small deviations for mixed fractional Brownian motion with trend is studied. This problem is closely related to the minimization of relative entropy functionals and is solved using similar techniques and results, which leads to the same class of integral equations. Since solving such equations is challenging due to the presence of an additional singularity in the kernel, efficient numerical methods have been developed to address this difficulty.

Features

  • Useful both for mathematicians interested in problems related to entropy and for practitioners, especially specialists in physics, finance, and information theory
  • Numerous examples and applications are provided, with rigorous proofs

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《熵與分數性:熵泛函、小偏差及相關的積分方程》首先系統化並計算了選定的絕對連續機率分佈的各種熵(Shannon 熵、Rényi 熵及其他熵)。接著分析了這些熵的性質。隨後,書中探討了一個相關問題:熵風險度量的計算與性質研究,即熵風險值(Entropic Value-at-Risk, EVaR)。

接下來,書中計算並比較了各種分數高斯過程的一維分佈的熵值。特別關注於分數高斯噪聲,作者對 Shannon 熵的性質及漸近行為進行了詳細分析。此外,還引入了兩個更適合進行分析研究的替代熵泛函。

進一步地,考慮了兩個獨立的帶漂移的 Wiener 過程之和的相對熵泛函,並探討了其最小化和最大化問題。對於帶漂移的混合分數布朗運動(即 Wiener 過程與分數布朗運動之和),也提出了類似的問題。熵最小化問題被簡化為第二類 Fredholm 積分方程,並對其唯一可解性進行了深入研究。

在書的最後部分,研究了帶趨勢的混合分數布朗運動的小偏差優化問題。這個問題與相對熵泛函的最小化密切相關,並使用類似的技術和結果來解決,導致相同類別的積分方程。由於解這類方程因核中存在額外的奇異性而變得具有挑戰性,因此已開發出有效的數值方法來應對這一困難。

特點:
- 對於對熵相關問題感興趣的數學家以及實務工作者,特別是物理、金融和信息理論的專家都非常有用
- 提供了大量的例子和應用,並附有嚴謹的證明
