13 Modeling training cycle, evolution cycle & the steps are briefly described as follows (1). Initial networks randomly produce initial networks structure (2). Training cycle networks are conducted through genetic rules and combination of weighted tuning. Training time will be utilized to exchange for the quality of approximation optimal solution until the upper bound of learning numbers can be reached 13

14 Modeling (Cont.) (3). Evolution cycle level of suitability of various networks for evaluation of fitness function is based on mean square error, and the evolution of networks will be commenced. In addition, based on the survived networks decided by the suitability of various networks, reproduction, crossover and mutation of the survived networks can be treated so as to generate the new generation networks (4). Return to step (2) to conduct new generation network training until satisfactory learning result or pre-set termination condition is reached 14

20 Modeling (Cont.) the two types (or multiple types) options (call options or put options) constructed from the same underlying including X commodity and Y commodity for example its implied volatility (Imp_Vol_X and Imp_Vol_Y) consideration is given to the upper and lower stock price jump interval that are (X: a 1, b 1 ; Y: a 2, b 2 ) respectively 20

23 Modeling (Cont.) Phase-II 23

24 Modeling (Cont.) [Theorem 1] For two call options contracts (X & Y) of the same underlying and it s issued date and maturity are very close then its underlying price will be set as S. If price of the next transaction is adjusted upwards, then the jump grade will be a 1X, a respectively. 2Y Also if the price of the next transaction is adjusted downwards, then its jump grade will be b 1X, b 2Y respectively and arbitrage interval will be Imp_Vol_X(S+a) > Imp_Vol_Y(S-b), and its Imp_Vol is the implied volatility of call options. Based on the same reason the put options can also be inferred to obtain its arbitrage interval 24

25 Modeling (Cont.) [Theorem 2] If underlying in Theorem 1 are stocks (if one lot is 1000 shares), then under the condition that the dividend issue or stock allocation is (1 + l) 100 (shares), the upper and lower bound interval of stock price shall be adjusted as: upper bound à[s a(or b)] [1 + (1 + l)/10]. lower bound à[s + a(or b)] [1 + (1 + l)/10] 25

26 Empirical Study and Evidence Table 4 Specified limitation on the minimum jump interval for options commodities and underlying Minimum jump interval (X, Y: a 1, a 2 ; b 1, b 2 ) ~less than $5 $5~less than $15 $15~less than $50 $50~ less than $ Share (S) warrant (C) 0.05 Information resource: Taiwan security exchange 26

27 Empirical Study and Evidence (Cont.) Warrants Chien Hung 07 and Fubon 05 common underlying United Microelectronics, UMC periods 2000/02/10 ~ 2000/04/06 sampling frequency daily 27

28 Empirical Study and Evidence (Cont.) New subscription percentage adjustment N = N (1 + m + n) (2) New strike price adjustment K = [S (S - K) N T C][N (1 + m + n)] -1 (3) 28

29 T = N n [1 (1 - t) 80%] (face value of each share of each underlying security) 25%; C = N m R r d ; S: closing price of underlying security one day before divestiture; S : reference price of underlying security on the day of divestiture; R: subscription price per share for cash capital increase; K: strike price before adjustment; K strike price after adjustment; N: subscription percentage before adjustment; N : purchase percentage after adjustment; m: share subscription for cash capital increase; n: percentage of stock allocation without payment. C: payment of cash capital increase loan interest cost by security issue merchant who is holder of equity certificate; r: average interest rate for one-year bond buy back (RP) within security issue merchant within 30 operating days before the day of divestiture; d: number of days from closing day of cash capital increase payment to due date of warrant day; T: Dividend tax for holders of equity certificate of issuing security merchants who participated in divestiture; t: tax exempt percentage for operating business income tax of underlying security company 29

30 Empirical Study and Evidence (Cont.) in 2000/07/14 the stock allocation without payment of United Microelectronics for underlying security is 120 shares the lower bound on top of dividend issue stock price is Upper bound [stock price - minimum jump interval] * Lower bound [stock price + minimum jump interval] *

31 Empirical Study and Evidence(Cont.) the upper bound of price adjustment [warrant price + minimum jump interval] & [stock price -minimum jump interval] Lower bound price adjustment [warrant price- minimum jump interval] & [Stock price + minimum interval] is based on the upper and lower jump interval of stock price and warrant to determine the upper and lower bound calculation of continuous jumping warrant price, and is abstracted in Table.6. 31

33 Empirical Study and Evidence(Cont.) Traditionally, the arbitrage result with BSM as basis is adopted and in respect of issued volatility as condition (refers to Table.7) its total loss are 18,149,722.51(Unit: NT$100,000,000) From Table.7 it can be discovered that it does not guarantee that each arbitrage operation is successful Another frequently used arbitrage model basing on BSM is mainly by historical volatility. This research conducts arbitrage operation by means of historical volatility adopted by issuers in their calculation and its result is the same as issued volatility (see Table.8) 33

34 Empirical Study and Evidence(Cont.) The genetic-based neural network model proposed in this research can guarantee successful arbitrage operation and the total payoff profit can be as high as 34,565,821(Unit: NT$100,000,000) that is times of traditional arbitrage model. Its excerpts of its operation process are as Table. 9 and the drawing is as Fig
