Linear-quadratic differential games: from finite to infinite dimension

Michel C. Delfour (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The object of this paper is the generalization of the pioneering work of P. Bernhard [J. Optim. Theory Appl. 27 (1979)] on two-person zero-sum games with a quadratic utility function and linear dynamics. It relaxes the semidefinite positivity assumption on the matrices in front of the state in the utility function and introduces affine feedback strategies that are not necessarily L²-integrable in time. It provides a broad conceptual review of recent results in the finite-dimensional case for which...

Local stability and differentiability of the Mean–Conditional Value at Risk model defined on the mixed–integer loss functions

Martin Branda (2010)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we study local stability of the mean-risk model with Conditional Value at Risk measure where the mixed-integer value function appears as a loss variable. This model has been recently introduced and studied in~Schulz and Tiedemann [16]. First, we generalize the qualitative results for the case with random technology matrix. We employ the contamination techniques to quantify a possible effect of changes in the underlying probability distribution on the optimal value. We use the generalized...

Long memory properties and covariance structure of the EGARCH model

Donatas Surgailis, Marie-Claude Viano (2002)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The EGARCH model of Nelson [29] is one of the most successful ARCH models which may exhibit characteristic asymmetries of financial time series, as well as long memory. The paper studies the covariance structure and dependence properties of the EGARCH and some related stochastic volatility models. We show that the large time behavior of the covariance of powers of the (observed) ARCH process is determined by the behavior of the covariance of the (linear) log-volatility process; in particular, a...

Longitudinal K-sets analysis using lagged variables.

Catrien C. J. H. Bijleveld, Eeke Van der Burg (1993)

Qüestiió

We present an application of nonlinear Generalised Canonical Analysis (GCA) for analysing longitudinal data. The application uses lagged versions of variables to accomodate the time-dependence in the measurements. The usefulness of the proposed method is illustrated in an example from developmental psychology, in which we explore the relationship between mother and child dyadic interaction during the first six months after birth, demonstrating how child behaviour can elicit mother behaviour. We...

Low Volatility Options and Numerical Diffusion of Finite Difference Schemes

Milev, Mariyan, Tagliani, Aldo (2010)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65M06, 65M12.In this paper we explore the numerical diffusion introduced by two nonstandard finite difference schemes applied to the Black-Scholes partial differential equation for pricing discontinuous payoff and low volatility options. Discontinuities in the initial conditions require applying nonstandard non-oscillating finite difference schemes such as the exponentially fitted finite difference schemes suggested by D. Duffy and the Crank-Nicolson variant...

Malliavin method for optimal investment in financial markets with memory

Qiguang An, Guoqing Zhao, Gaofeng Zong (2016)

Open Mathematics

We consider a financial market with memory effects in which wealth processes are driven by mean-field stochastic Volterra equations. In this financial market, the classical dynamic programming method can not be used to study the optimal investment problem, because the solution of mean-field stochastic Volterra equation is not a Markov process. In this paper, a new method through Malliavin calculus introduced in [1], can be used to obtain the optimal investment in a Volterra type financial market....
