Based upon an observation that it is too restrictive to assume a definite correlation of the underlying asset price and its volatility, we use a hybrid model of the constant elasticity of variance and stochastic volatility to study a portfolio optimization problem for pension plans. By using asymptotic analysis, we derive a correction to the optimal strategy for the constant elasticity of variance model and subsequently the fine structure of the corrected optimal strategy is revealed. The result...
In this paper we discuss the exact null controllability of linear as well as nonlinear Black–Scholes equation when both the stock volatility and risk-free interest rate influence the stock price but they are not known with certainty while the control is distributed over a subdomain. The proof of the linear problem relies on a Carleman estimate and observability inequality for its own dual problem and that of the nonlinear one relies on the infinite dimensional Kakutani fixed point theorem with ...
In this paper we study the approximate and complete controllability of stochastic integrodifferential system in finite dimensional spaces. Sufficient conditions are established for each of these types of controllability. The results are obtained by using the Picard iteration technique.
