We have applied the Lie-Trotter operator splitting method to model the dynamics of both the sum and difference of two correlated constant elasticity of variance (CEV) stochastic variables. Within the Lie-Trotter splitting approximation, both the sum and difference are shown to follow a shifted CEV stochastic process, and approximate probability distributions are determined in closed form. Illustrative numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of these approximate distributions. These approximate probability distributions can be used to valuate two-asset options, e.g. spread options and basket options, where the CEV variables represent the forward prices of the underlying assets. Moreover, we believe that this new approach can be extended to study the algebraic sum of N CEV variables with potential applications in pricing multi-asset options.

There have been various theoretical attempts by researchers worldwide to link up different scales of plasticity studies from the nano-, micro- and macro-scale of observation, based on molecular dynamics, crystal plasticity and continuum mechanics. Very few attempts, however, have been reported in ultra-precision machining studies. A mesoplasticity approach advocated by Lee and Yang is adopted by the authors and is successfully applied to studies of the micro-cutting mechanisms in ultra-precision machining. Traditionally, the shear angle in metal cutting, as well as the cutting force variation, can only be determined from cutting tests. In the pioneering work of the authors, the use of mesoplasticity theory enables prediction of the fluctuation of the shear angle and micro-cutting force, shear band formation, chip morphology in diamond turning and size effect in nano-indentation. These findings are verified by experiments. The mesoplasticity formulation opens up a new direction of studies to enable how the plastic behaviour of materials and their constitutive representations in deformation processing, such as machining can be predicted, assessed and deduced from the basic properties of the materials measurable at the microscale.
