本报告中我们围绕第一性原理电子结构计算中一类非线性特征值问题展开分析，包括数值分析和数值模拟两方面。数值分析方面，我们研究了有限维逼近的收敛性，先验误差估计，后验误差估计，并且对这类非线性特征值问题设计了自适应有限元算法，分析了自适应有限元算法的收敛率和复杂度。数值模拟方面，我们围绕第一原理大型并行计算软件包ABINIT展开，实现了软件包ABINIT与交换关联泛函库LIBXC的接口，并利用ABINIT比较了不同交换关联泛函对不同物理性质的影响，为其他科研工作者选择合适的交换关联泛函提供了依据

In this talk I will first give an overview of the family of semiparametric transformation models and methods for handling such models. I will then present some biased sampling schemes and introduce a general approach to the transformation models under biased sample schemes. Finally I will discuss asymptotic theory and numerical results on some data sets.

Stochastic models are becoming a more and more important tool to describe complex natural systems. In finance and economics, stochastic differential equation is a fundamental method to study the uncertainty in financial systems. A major challenge in stochastic modeling is how to estimate unknown model parameters based on the financial market data. In this talk we will discuss two types of major methods for estimating model parameters: the optimization method and Bayesian inference methods. These methods will be applied to infer parameters in financial models.

Theory of neutral (i.e., optimal) and indifference pricing, hedging and optimal trading of portfolios of financial contracts, for completely general diffusive Markovian continuous-time financial models is nowadays available, due to the works of the speaker. Furthermore, this methodology is fully implemented using symbolic calculations on Mathematica computer platform. As a consequence, financial engineering solutions of unprecedented complexity can nowadays be achieved in both, complete and incomplete markets. This talk will showcase the above claims on some examples in commodities and commodity derivatives. Many other application areas, such as equity hedge fund management, foreign exchange and foreign exchange derivatives are also available
