Jensen gave a lower bound to Eρ(T), where ρ is a convex function of the random vector T. Madansky has obtained an upper bound via the theory of moment spaces of multivariate distributions. In particular, Madansky's upper bound is given explicitly when the components of T are independent random variables. For this case, lower and upper bounds are obtained in the paper, which uses additional information on T rather than its mean (mainly its expected absolute deviation about the mean) and hence gets closer to Eρ(T).The importance of having improved bounds is illustrated through a nonlinear programming problem with stochastic objective function, known as the “wait and see” problem.

AbstractIn this paper, it is shown how to approximate theoretical premium calculation principles in order to make them useful in practice. The method relies on stochastic extrema in moment spaces and is illustrated with the aid of the exponential principle.

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is known to suffer from stability issues when the collision model relies on the BGK approximation, especially in the zero viscosity limit and for non-vanishing Mach numbers. To tackle this problem, two kinds of solutions were proposed in the literature. They consist in changing either the numerical discretization (finite-volume, finite-difference, spectral-element, etc.) of the discrete velocity Boltzmann equation (DVBE), or the collision model. In this work, the latter solution is investigated in detail. More precisely, we propose a comprehensive comparison of (static relaxation time based) collision models, in terms of stability, and with preliminary results on their accuracy, for the simulation of isothermal high-Reynolds number flows in the (weakly) compressible regime. It starts by investigating the possible impact of collision models on the macroscopic behaviour of stream-and-collide based D2Q9-LBMs, which clarifies the exact physical properties of collision models on LBMs. It is followed by extensive linear and numerical stability analyses, supplemented with an accuracy study based on the transport of vortical structures over long distances. In order to draw conclusions as generally as possible, the most common moment spaces (raw, central, Hermite, central Hermite and cumulant), as well as regularized approaches, are considered for the comparative studies. LBMs based on dynamic collision mechanisms (entropic collision, subgrid-scale models, explicit filtering, etc.) are also briefly discussed. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Fluid dynamics, soft matter and complex systems: recent results and new methods’.
