This paper explores stochastic modeling approaches to elucidate the intricate dynamics of stock prices and volatility in financial markets. Beginning with an overview of Brownian motion and its historical significance in finance, we delve into various stochastic models, including the classic Black-Scholes framework, the Heston model, fractional Brownian motion, GARCH models, and Levy processes. Through a thorough investigation, we analyze the strengths and limitations of each model in capturing key features of financial time series data. Our empirical analysis focuses on parameter estimation and model calibration using Levy processes, demonstrating their effectiveness in predicting stock returns. However, we acknowledge the need for further refinement and exploration, suggesting potential avenues for future research, such as hybrid modeling approaches. Overall, this study underscores the importance of stochastic modeling in understanding market dynamics and informs decision-making in the financial industry.
本文探讨了随机建模方法,以阐明金融市场中股票价格和波动的复杂动态。本文从布朗运动及其在金融学中的历史意义开始,深入探讨了各种随机模型,包括经典的布莱克-斯科尔斯框架、海斯顿模型、分数布朗运动、GARCH 模型和列维过程。通过深入研究,我们分析了每种模型在捕捉金融时间序列数据关键特征方面的优势和局限。我们的实证分析侧重于使用 Levy 过程进行参数估计和模型校准,证明了它们在预测股票收益方面的有效性。不过,我们也承认需要进一步完善和探索,并提出了未来研究的潜在途径,如混合建模方法。总之,本研究强调了随机建模在理解市场动态和为金融业决策提供信息方面的重要性。

In 20th century mathematics, the field of topology, which concerns the properties of geometric objects under continuous transformation, has proved surprisingly useful in application to the study of discrete mathematics, such as combinatorics, graph theory, and theoretical computer science. In this paper, we seek to provide an introduction to the relevant topological concepts to non-specialists, as well as a selection of some existing applications to theorems in discrete mathematics.

The Four color problem is closely related to other branches of mathematics and practical applications. More than 20 of its reformulations are known, which connect this problem with problems of algebra, statistical mechanics and planning. And this is also typical for mathematics: the solution to a problem studied out of pure curiosity turns out to be useful in representing real objects and processes that are completely different in nature. Despite the published machine methods for combinatorial proof of the Four color conjecture, there is still no clear description of the mechanism for coloring a planar graph with four colors, its natural essence and its connection with the phenomenon of graph planarity. It is necessary not only to prove (preferably by deductive methods) that any planar graph can be colored with four colors, but also to show how to color it. The paper considers an approach based on the possibility of reducing a maximally flat graph to a regular flat cubic graph with its further coloring. Based on the Tate-Volynsky theorem, the vertices of a maximally flat graph can be colored with four colors, if the edges of its dual cubic graph can be colored with three colors. Considering the properties of a colored cubic graph, it can be shown that the addition of colors obeys the transformation laws of the fourth order Klein group. Using this property, it is possible to create algorithms for coloring planar graphs.

This paper aims to explore the evolution of image denoising in a pedagological way. We briefly review classical methods such as Fourier analysis and wavelet bases, highlighting the challenges they faced until the emergence of neural networks, notably the U-Net, in the 2010s. The remarkable performance of these networks has been demonstrated in studies such as Kadkhodaie et al. (2024). They exhibit adaptability to various image types, including those with fixed regularity, facial images, and bedroom scenes, achieving optimal results and biased towards geometry-adaptive harmonic basis. The introduction of score diffusion has played a crucial role in image generation. In this context, denoising becomes essential as it facilitates the estimation of probability density scores. We discuss the prerequisites for genuine learning of probability densities, offering insights that extend from mathematical research to the implications of universal structures.

This paper aims to give a brief account of the mathematical work of the 7th-century Armenian polymath and natural philosopher Anania Shirakatsi. The three sections of Anania's ``Book of Arithmetic'' -- tables of arithmetic operations, a list of problems and their answers, and a collection of entertaining puzzles -- are presented and discussed, the focus being on the problems and solutions. A close examination of the structure of these problems reveals that Anania's proficiency in arithmetic was considerably more sophisticated than their mathematical contents might suggest. The geography of Anania's problems is illustrated through two maps highlighting the locations referenced within these problems.

This biographical and scientific memoir of Dominic Welsh includes summaries of his important contributions to probability and combinatorics. With John Hammersley, he introduced first-passage percolation, and in so doing they formulated and proved the first subadditive ergodic theorem. Welsh has numerous results in matroid theory, and wrote the first monograph on the topic. He worked on computational complexity and particularly the complexity of computing the Tutte polynomial. He was an inspirational teacher and advisor who helped to develop a community of scholars in combinatorics.
