Abstract

We exploit a recent computational framework to model and detect financial crises in stock markets, as well as shock events in cryptocurrency markets, which are characterized by a sudden or severe drop in prices. Our method manages to detect all past crises in the French industrial stock market starting with the crash of 1929, including financial crises after 1990 (e.g. dot-com bubble burst of 2000, stock market downturn of 2002), and all past crashes in the cryptocurrency market, namely in 2018, and also in 2020 due to covid-19. We leverage copulae clustering, based on the distance between probability distributions, in order to validate the reliability of the framework; we show that clusters contain copulae from similar market states such as normal states, or crises. Moreover, we propose a novel regression model that can detect successfully all past events using less than 10% of the information that the previous framework requires. We train our model by historical data on the industry assets, and we are able to detect all past shock events in the cryptocurrency market. Our tools provide the essential components of our software framework that offers fast and reliable detection, or even prediction, of shock events in stock and cryptocurrency markets of hundreds of assets.

The Stretch Factor of Planar Delaunay Triangulations Is Less Than 1.65

Delaunay triangulations are a fundamental class of plane spanners, and determining their worst-case stretch factor has been a longstanding problem in computational geometry. We prove an upper bound of \(1.65\), improving the bound of \(1.998\) due to Xia (2011) and reducing the gap to the known lower bound of \(1.5932\) by a factor of more than seven. Our proof works with the chains of circumdisks introduced by Xia, along which a path between two sites is assembled disk by disk. Xia measures such a path against a quantity attached to the whole chain, and because that quantity is not additive, his induction has to be carried alongside a separate global estimate. Our main idea is to measure the path against the progress it makes along the segment joining the two sites. This quantity is additive, so the bound becomes a Bellman recursion that forgets all but one number about the disks already passed, and we show that the bound holds if and only if a potential on the current state satisfies three local inequalities. The smallest feasible potential is the value function of that recursion, so searching for a potential becomes the problem of fitting this value function from above. The geometry of the disks reduces the fit to a linear program over functions of one variable, in which a GPT-based multi-agent system that we developed found a feasible point, certified in exact arithmetic.

Fast Persistent Homology Computation for Functions on $\mathbb{R}$

0-dimensional persistent homology is known, from a computational point of view, as the easy case. Indeed, given a list of $n$ edges in non-decreasing order of filtration value, one only needs a union-find data structure to keep track of the connected components and we get the persistence diagram in time $O(nα(n))$. The running time is thus usually dominated by sorting the edges in $Θ(n\log(n))$. A little-known fact is that, in the particularly simple case of studying the sublevel sets of a piecewise-linear function on $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{S}^1$, persistence can actually be computed in linear time. This note presents a simple algorithm that achieves this complexity and an extension to image persistence. An implementation is available in Gudhi.

Numerical Simulation of Transdermal Insulin Delivery Using a Coated Microneedle in a 2D Skin Model

In this work, we present a computational model to investigate transdermal insulin delivery using coated microneedles. A detailed skin geometry incorporating a coated microneedles was developed to analyze insulin release through the different skin layers and to evaluate the influence of key transport parameters. The model represents the major skin layers: the stratum corneum, viable epidermis, and dermis. Unstructured grids were used to achieve a reliable resolution of the model. The simulations provide insights into the permeation of insulin from the coated microneedles and the transport and distribution across the different skin layers. Finally, the simulation results were compared with experimental data to evaluate the predictive capability of the model.
