  2. Option-adjusted spread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option-adjusted_spread

    This difference in convexity can also be used to explain the price differential from an MBS to a Treasury bond. However, the OAS figure is usually preferred. The discussion of the "negative convexity" and "option cost" of a bond is essentially a discussion of a single MBS feature (rate-dependent cash flows) measured in different ways.

  3. List of convexity topics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_convexity_topics

    Complex convexity — extends the notion of convexity to complex numbers. Convex analysis - the branch of mathematics devoted to the study of properties of convex functions and convex sets, often with applications in convex minimization. Convex combination - a linear combination of points where all coefficients are non-negative and sum to 1 ...

  4. Convexity in economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convexity_in_economics

    Convexity is a geometric property with a variety of applications in economics. [1] Informally, an economic phenomenon is convex when "intermediates (or combinations) are better than extremes". For example, an economic agent with convex preferences prefers combinations of goods over having a lot of any one sort of good; this represents a kind of ...

  5. Convex function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_function

    The function () = has ″ = >, so f is a convex function. It is also strongly convex (and hence strictly convex too), with strong convexity constant 2. The function () = has ″ =, so f is a convex function. It is strictly convex, even though the second derivative is not strictly positive at all points.

  6. Convex preferences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_preferences

    Convex preferences with their associated convex indifference mapping arise from quasi-concave utility functions, although these are not necessary for the analysis of preferences. For example, Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) utility functions describe convex, homothetic preferences.

  7. Convex curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_curve

    A plane curve is the image of any continuous function from an interval to the Euclidean plane.Intuitively, it is a set of points that could be traced out by a moving point. More specifically, smooth curves generally at least require that the function from the interval to the plane be continuously differentiable, and in some contexts are defined to require higher derivative

  8. Bond convexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_convexity

    In finance, bond convexity is a measure of the non-linear relationship of bond prices to changes in interest rates, and is defined as the second derivative of the price of the bond with respect to interest rates (duration is the first derivative). In general, the higher the duration, the more sensitive the bond price is to the change in ...

  9. Convex analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_analysis

    Convex functions are related to convex sets. Specifically, the function is convex if and only if its epigraph. A function (in black) is convex if and only if its epigraph, which is the region above its graph (in green), is a convex set. A graph of the bivariate convex function + +.
