Monotone and Cash-Invariant Convex Functions and Hulls
Damir Filipovic, U of Munich
John Dedman Mathematical Sciences Bullding, Seminar Room G35
Abstract This paper provides some useful results for convex risk measures. In fact, we consider convex functions on a locally convex vector space E which are monotone with respect to the preference relation implied by some convex cone and invariant with respect to some numeraire ("cash"). As a main result, for any function f, we find the greatest closed convex monotone and cash-invariant function majorized by f. We then apply our results to some well-known risk measures and problems arising in connection with insurance regulation.

MSI Colloquium
Joint Additive Kullback-Leibler Residual Minimization and Regularization for Linear Inverse Problems
Elena Resmerita, CSIRO Mathematical & Information Sciences, Canberra
John Dedman Mathematical Sciences Bullding, Seminar Room G35
Please note the unusual time
Abstract For approximating solutions of ill-posed inverse problems, some form of regularization must be applied. The formulation of a regularization functional involves two separate decisions: the choice of the residual minimizer and the choice of the regularizor. However, in many practical applications (such as emission tomography), the operator and the observational data are positive along with the solution (e.g. probability distributions). In such a situation it might be appropriate to choose both the residual minimizer and the regularizor to be the same non-quadratic functional. In this talk, we show that a natural choice in this respect could be the Kullback-Leibler informational functional. We discuss existence, uniqueness, convergence and stability for the regularization approximations under quite natural boundedness assumptions on the inverse problems and their solutions. We point out that convergence rates could be established under additional assumptions similar to those invoked for other forms of regularization. (Joint work with Bob Anderssen, CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences, Canberra).
