โฆ Synopsis
This paper uses ideas from symbolic computation to classify solutions to an important class of problems in mathematical finance and thus provides a linkage between these two fields. We show that Kovacic's concept of closed-form solutions to the Riccati ordinary differential equation can be used to provide a precise mathematical definition that is useful in certain financial models. We extend this definition to a broader class of problems and discuss how these ideas can be usefully applied to practical problems in the finance area. We provide a specific application by developing a new implementation of the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross interest-rate model that may be of practical interest.

While one could imagine many mathematically natural piecewise linear systems we took care to extract one wh
New upper and lower matrix bounds and the corresponding eigenvalue bounds on the solution of the discrete algebraic Riccati equation are discussed in this paper. The present bounds are tighter than the majority of those found in the literature.
A singularly perturbed linear-quadratic optimal control problem in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space is considered. An asymptotic solution of the corresponding operator Riccati equation is constructed. This result is illustrated by its application to the asymptotic solution of a set of integral-
