Differentiability of excessive functions of one-dimensional diffusions and the principle of smooth fit

Paavo Salminen, Bao Quoc Ta (2015)

Banach Center Publications

The principle of smooth fit is probably the most used tool to find solutions to optimal stopping problems of one-dimensional diffusions. It is important, e.g., in financial mathematical applications to understand in which kind of models and problems smooth fit can fail. In this paper we connect-in case of one-dimensional diffusions-the validity of smooth fit and the differentiability of excessive functions. The basic tool to derive the results is the representation theory of excessive functions;...

Differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion.

David Nualart, Aurel Rascanu (2002)

Collectanea Mathematica

A global existence and uniqueness result of the solution for multidimensional, time dependent, stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H > 1/2 is proved. It is shown, also, that the solution has finite moments. The result is based on a deterministic existence and uniqueness theorem whose proof uses a contraction principle and a priori estimates.

Differential equations driven by gaussian signals

Peter Friz, Nicolas Victoir (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider multi-dimensional gaussian processes and give a new condition on the covariance, simple and sharp, for the existence of Lévy area(s). gaussian rough paths are constructed with a variety of weak and strong approximation results. Together with a new RKHS embedding, we obtain a powerful – yet conceptually simple – framework in which to analyze differential equations driven by gaussian signals in the rough paths sense.

Differential equations driven by rough signals.

Terry J. Lyons (1998)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This paper aims to provide a systematic approach to the treatment of differential equations of the typedyt = Σi fi(yt) dxti where the driving signal xt is a rough path. Such equations are very common and occur particularly frequently in probability where the driving signal might be a vector valued Brownian motion, semi-martingale or similar process.However, our approach is deterministic, is totally independent of probability and permits much rougher paths than the Brownian paths usually discussed....
