Partially observed optimal controls of forward-backward doubly stochastic systems

Yufeng Shi, Qingfeng Zhu (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The partially observed optimal control problem is considered for forward-backward doubly stochastic systems with controls entering into the diffusion and the observation. The maximum principle is proven for the partially observable optimal control problems. A probabilistic approach is used, and the adjoint processes are characterized as solutions of related forward-backward doubly stochastic differential equations in finite-dimensional spaces. Then, our theoretical result is applied...

A pension fund in the accumulation phase: a stochastic control approach

Salvatore Federico (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we propose and study a continuous time stochastic model of optimal allocation for a defined contribution pension fund in the accumulation phase. The level of wealth is constrained to stay above a "solvency level". The fund manager can invest in a riskless asset and in a risky asset, but borrowing and short selling are prohibited. The model is naturally formulated as an optimal stochastic control problem with state constraints and is treated by the dynamic programming approach....

Maximum principle for forward-backward doubly stochastic control systems and applications

Liangquan Zhang, Yufeng Shi (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The maximum principle for optimal control problems of fully coupled forward-backward doubly stochastic differential equations (FBDSDEs in short) in the global form is obtained, under the assumptions that the diffusion coefficients do not contain the control variable, but the control domain need not to be convex. We apply our stochastic maximum principle (SMP in short) to investigate the optimal control problems of a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs in short)....

Risk minimizing strategies for a portfolio of interest-rate securities

Andrzej Palczewski (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The paper presents an application of stochastic control methods to fixed income management in an incomplete market with external economic factors. The objective of an investor is the minimization of a shortfall risk. The problem is reduced to the multidimensional Bellman equation. It is shown that for a large class of loss functions the equation possesses a continuous solution. We also consider loss functions from the HARA class and prove that for such functions the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman...

Maximum principle for optimal control of fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential delayed equations

Jianhui Huang, Jingtao Shi (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper deals with the optimal control problem in which the controlled system is described by a fully coupled anticipated forward-backward stochastic differential delayed equation. The maximum principle for this problem is obtained under the assumption that the diffusion coefficient does not contain the control variables and the control domain is not necessarily convex. Both the necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality are proved. As illustrating examples, two kinds of linear...

Xiaoqing Pan, Xiaohu Li (2017)

Dependence Modeling

Similarity:

This paper studies the increasing convex ordering of the optimal discounted capital allocations for stochastic arrangement increasing risks with stochastic arrangement decreasing occurrence times. The application to optimal allocation of policy limits is presented as an illustration as well.

Optimal investment strategy for a non-life insurance company: quadratic loss

Łukasz Delong (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to construct an optimal investment strategy for a non-life insurance business. We consider an insurance company which provides, in exchange for a single premium, full coverage to a portfolio of risks which generates losses according to a compound Poisson process. The insurer invests the premium and trades continuously on the financial market which consists of one risk-free asset and n risky assets (Black-Scholes market). We deal with the insurer's wealth path...

Optimal position targeting with stochastic linear-quadratic costs

Stefan Ankirchner, Thomas Kruse (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider the dynamic control problem of attaining a target position at a finite time T, while minimizing a linear-quadratic cost functional depending on the position and speed. We assume that the coefficients of the linear-quadratic cost functional are stochastic processes adapted to a Brownian filtration. We provide a probabilistic solution in terms of two coupled backward stochastic differential equations possessing a singularity at the terminal time T. We verify optimality of the...

Equivalent cost functionals and stochastic linear quadratic optimal control problems

Zhiyong Yu (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the stochastic linear quadratic optimal control problems (LQ problems, for short) for which the coefficients are allowed to be random and the cost functionals are allowed to have negative weights on the square of control variables. We propose a new method, the equivalent cost functional method, to deal with the LQ problems. Comparing to the classical methods, the new method is simple, flexible and non-abstract. The new method can also be applied to deal with...

Stochastic evolution equations on Hilbert spaces with partially observed relaxed controls and their necessary conditions of optimality

N.U. Ahmed (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

In this paper we consider the question of optimal control for a class of stochastic evolution equations on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces with controls appearing in both the drift and the diffusion operators. We consider relaxed controls (measure valued random processes) and briefly present some results on the question of existence of mild solutions including their regularity followed by a result on existence of partially observed optimal relaxed controls. Then we develop the necessary...

Valuation and optimal design to defaultable security

Jianhui Huang, Na Li (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Herein, we develop a backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) valuation of securities with default risk. Consequently, the optimal recovery problem with quasi-linear utility functions is discussed with the help of the stochastic maximum principle. Finally, two important examples: the exponential and power utility cases are studied and their business implications are considered.
