Splitting the conservation process into creation and annihilation parts

Nicolas Privault — 1998

Banach Center Publications

The aim of this paper is the study of a non-commutative decomposition of the conservation process in quantum stochastic calculus. The probabilistic interpretation of this decomposition uses time changes, in contrast to the spatial shifts used in the interpretation of the creation and annihilation operators on Fock space.

Invariance of Poisson measures under random transformations

Nicolas Privault — 2012

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

We prove that Poisson measures are invariant under (random) intensity preserving transformations whose finite difference gradient satisfies a cyclic vanishing condition. The proof relies on moment identities of independent interest for adapted and anticipating Poisson stochastic integrals, and is inspired by the method of Üstünel and Zakai ( (1995) 409–429) on the Wiener space, although the corresponding algebra is more complex than in the Wiener case. The examples of application...

SURE shrinkage of gaussian paths and signal identification

Nicolas PrivaultAnthony Réveillac — 2011

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Using integration by parts on Gaussian space we construct a Stein Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) for the drift of Gaussian processes, based on their local and occupation times. By almost-sure minimization of the SURE risk of shrinkage estimators we derive an estimation and de-noising procedure for an input signal perturbed by a continuous-time Gaussian noise.

Functional inequalities for discrete gradients and application to the geometric distribution

Aldéric JoulinNicolas Privault — 2004

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We present several functional inequalities for finite difference gradients, such as a Cheeger inequality, Poincaré and (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, associated deviation estimates, and an exponential integrability property. In the particular case of the geometric distribution on we use an integration by parts formula to compute the optimal isoperimetric and Poincaré constants, and to obtain an improvement of our general logarithmic Sobolev inequality. By a limiting procedure we...

Hedging in complete markets driven by normal martingales

Youssef El-KhatibNicolas Privault — 2003

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper aims at a unified treatment of hedging in market models driven by martingales with deterministic bracket M , M t , including Brownian motion and the Poisson process as particular cases. Replicating hedging strategies for European, Asian and Lookback options are explicitly computed using either the Clark-Ocone formula or an extension of the delta hedging method, depending on which is most appropriate.
