Abstract
We consider options that pay the complexity deficiency of a sequence of up and down ticks of a stock upon exercise. We study the price of European and American versions of this option numerically for automatic complexity, and theoretically for Kolmogorov complexity. We also consider run complexity, which is a restricted form of automatic complexity.
期刊介绍:
Algorithmic Finance is both a nascent field of study and a new high-quality academic research journal that seeks to bridge computer science and finance. It covers such applications as: High frequency and algorithmic trading Statistical arbitrage strategies Momentum and other algorithmic portfolio management Machine learning and computational financial intelligence Agent-based finance Complexity and market efficiency Algorithmic analysis of derivatives valuation Behavioral finance and investor heuristics and algorithms Applications of quantum computation to finance News analytics and automated textual analysis.
