RESUMO
We obtain covariance and Choquet integral representations for some entropies and give upper bounds of those entropies. The coherent properties of those entropies are discussed. Furthermore, we propose tail-based cumulative residual Tsallis entropy of order α (TCRTE) and tail-based right-tail deviation (TRTD); then, we define a shortfall of cumulative residual Tsallis (CRTES) and shortfall of right-tail deviation entropy (RTDS) and provide some equivalent results. As illustrated examples, the CRTESs of elliptical, inverse Gaussian, gamma and beta distributions are simulated.
RESUMO
We consider the optimal dividends problem for a company whose cash reserves follow a general Lévy process with certain positive jumps and arbitrary negative jumps. The objective is to find a policy which maximizes the expected discounted dividends until the time of ruin. Under appropriate conditions, we use some recent results in the theory of potential analysis of subordinators to obtain the convexity properties of probability of ruin. We present conditions under which the optimal dividend strategy, among all admissible ones, takes the form of a barrier strategy.
