A neutrosophic version of threat type is proposed – neutrosophic common sense being a brand new department of mathematical common sense which permits for a three-way generalization of binary fuzzy common sense by means of contemplating a 3rd, impartial nation in among the low and high states linked to binary good judgment circuits. A believable program of the postulated version is proposed in reconciliation of cost discrepancies within the long term innovations marketplace the place the one resource of resolvable hazard is the long term implied volatility.

Example text
In line with the Dempster-Shafer Theory (Dempster, 1967; Shafer, 1976) the belief and plausibility functions are defined as follows: 29 Bel(A) = ΣB∈DΘ, B⊆A m(B) ... 7) Pl(A) = ΣB∈DΘ, B∩A ≠ φ m(B) ... ). ) as follows for m(φ) = 0 and for C ≠ 0 and C ⊆ Θ; [m1 ⊕ m2] (C) = [ΣA∩B=C m1 (A) m2 (B)] / [1 - ΣA∩B = φ m1 (A) m2 (B)] ... 9) The summation notation ΣA∩B=C is necessarily interpreted as the sum over all A, B ⊆ Θ such that A ∩ B = C. ) is considered a basic probability assignment if and only if the denominator in equation (5) is non-zero.
This then essentially reduces our problem to one of univariate optimization, whereby we have to minimize the cumulative tracking error given by the following objective function: it Σt |εt| = Σt |Max (S0, S1, S2) t – {c e + p t (S1) t+ (1– c – p t) (S2) t}| ... 12) Here, p t is the allocation to be made to the first risky asset at every point of rebalancing and c is the given allocation always made to the risk-free asset thereby allowing us to substitute (p2) t with (1– c – p t); as portfolio weights sum up to unity.
This dynamic-hedging model can be extended to a multi-asset scenario too, where a whole portfolio consisting of several underlying assets needs to be protected against adverse market movements, by extending the standard Black-Scholes argument to 45 a multi-dimensional probability space. This dynamic hedging model will work efficiently every time because the Black-Scholes type of expected utility function has an inherent biological superiority over other utility forms and this is what we set out to computationally explore in our next chapter.
