Hedging in complete markets driven by normal martingales

Youssef El-Khatib, Nicolas Privault (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

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.

Expected utility maximization and conditional value-at-risk deviation-based Sharpe ratio in dynamic stochastic portfolio optimization

Soňa Kilianová, Daniel Ševčovič (2018)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we investigate the expected terminal utility maximization approach for a dynamic stochastic portfolio optimization problem. We solve it numerically by solving an evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation which is transformed by means of the Riccati transformation. We examine the dependence of the results on the shape of a chosen utility function in regard to the associated risk aversion level. We define the Conditional value-at-risk deviation ( $C V a R D$ ) based Sharpe ratio...

Integral representations of risk functions for basket derivatives

Michał Barski (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The risk minimizing problem $E [l ((H - X_{T}^{x, π}) ⁺)] \overset{π}{\to} m i n$ in the multidimensional Black-Scholes framework is studied. Specific formulas for the minimal risk function and the cost reduction function for basket derivatives are shown. Explicit integral representations for the risk functions for l(x) = x and $l (x) = x^{p}$ , with p > 1 for digital, quantos, outperformance and spread options are derived.

On risk reserve under distribution constraints

Mariusz Michta (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The purpose of this work is a study of the following insurance reserve model: $R (t) = η + \int_{0}^{t} p (s, R (s)) d s + \int_{0}^{t} σ (s, R (s)) d W_{s} - Z (t)$ , t ∈ [0,T], P(η ≥ c) ≥ 1-ϵ, ϵ ≥ 0. Under viability-type assumptions on a pair (p,σ) the estimation γ with the property: $i n f_{0 \leq t \leq T} P R (t) \geq c \geq γ$ is considered.

Stochastic approximation properties in Banach spaces

V. P. Fonf, W. B. Johnson, G. Pisier, D. Preiss (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that a Banach space X has the stochastic approximation property iff it has the stochasic basis property, and these properties are equivalent to the approximation property if X has nontrivial type. If for every Radon probability on X, there is an operator from an $L_{p}$ space into X whose range has probability one, then X is a quotient of an $L_{p}$ space. This extends a theorem of Sato’s which dealt with the case p = 2. In any infinite-dimensional Banach space X there is a compact set K...

Optimal stopping with advanced information flow: selected examples

Yaozhong Hu, Bernt Øksendal (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We study optimal stopping problems for some functionals of Brownian motion in the case when the decision whether or not to stop before (or at) time t is allowed to be based on the δ-advanced information $ℱ_{t + δ}$ , where $ℱ_{s}$ is the σ-algebra generated by Brownian motion up to time s, s ≥ -δ, δ > 0 being a fixed constant. Our approach involves the forward integral and the Malliavin calculus for Brownian motion.

New model of precession, valid in time interval 400 thousand years

Vondrák, Jan

Similarity:

Precession is the secular and long-periodic component of the motion of the Earth’s spin axis in the celestial reference frame, approximately exhibiting a motion of about $50^{''}$ per year around the pole of the ecliptic. The presently adopted precession model, IAU2006, approximates this motion by polynomial expansions of time that are valid, with very high accuracy, in the immediate vicinity (a few centuries) of the reference epoch J2000.0. For more distant epochs, this approximation however...

On the powers of Voiculescu's circular element

Ferenc Oravecz (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The main result of the paper is that for a circular element c in a C*-probability space, $(c ⁿ, c^{n *})$ is an R-diagonal pair in the sense of Nica and Speicher for every n = 1,2,... The coefficients of the R-series are found to be the generalized Catalan numbers of parameter n-1.

Existence and asymptotic behaviour of some time-inhomogeneous diffusions

Mihai Gradinaru, Yoann Offret (2013)

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

Similarity:

Let us consider a solution of a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation driven by a standard Brownian motion with time-inhomogeneous drift coefficient ${ρ sgn (x) | x |}^{α} / t^{β}$ . This process can be viewed as a Brownian motion evolving in a potential, possibly singular, depending on time. We prove results on the existence and uniqueness of solution, study its asymptotic behaviour and made a precise description, in terms of parameters $ρ$ , $α$ and $β$ , of the recurrence, transience and convergence. More precisely,...

A geometric point of view on mean-variance models

Piotr Jaworski (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper deals with the mathematics of the Markowitz theory of portfolio management. Let E and V be two homogeneous functions defined on ℝⁿ, the first linear, the other positive definite quadratic. Furthermore let Δ be a simplex contained in ℝⁿ (the set of admissible portfolios), for example Δ : x₁+ ... + xₙ = 1, $x_{i} \geq 0$ . Our goal is to investigate the properties of the restricted mappings (V,E):Δ → ℝ² (the so called Markowitz mappings) and to classify them. We introduce the notion of a...

Stochastic optimization problems with second order stochastic dominance constraints via Wasserstein metric

Vlasta Kaňková, Vadim Omelčenko (2018)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Optimization problems with stochastic dominance constraints are helpful to many real-life applications. We can recall e. g., problems of portfolio selection or problems connected with energy production. The above mentioned constraints are very suitable because they guarantee a solution fulfilling partial order between utility functions in a given subsystem $𝒰$ of the utility functions. Especially, considering $𝒰 : = 𝒰_{1}$ (where $𝒰_{1}$ is a system of non decreasing concave nonnegative utility functions)...

Finite time asymptotics of fluid and ruin models: multiplexed fractional Brownian motions case

Krzysztof Dębicki, Grzegorz Sikora (2011)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Motivated by applications in queueing fluid models and ruin theory, we analyze the asymptotics of $ℙ (s u p_{t \in [0, T]} (\sum_{i = 1}^{n} λ_{i} B_{H_{i}} (t) - c t) > u)$ , where $B_{H_{i}} (t) : t \geq 0$ , i = 1,...,n, are independent fractional Brownian motions with Hurst parameters $H_{i} \in (0, 1]$ and λ₁,...,λₙ > 0. The asymptotics takes one of three different qualitative forms, depending on the value of $m i n_{i = 1, . . ., n} H_{i}$ .

Routh-type $L_{2}$ model reduction revisited

Wiesław Krajewski, Umberto Viaro (2018)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

A computationally simple method for generating reduced-order models that minimise the $L_{2}$ norm of the approximation error while preserving a number of second-order information indices as well as the steady-state value of the step response, is presented. The method exploits the energy-conservation property peculiar to the Routh reduction method and the interpolation property of the $L_{2}$ -optimal approximation. Two examples taken from the relevant literature show that the suggested techniques...

Existentially closed II₁ factors

Ilijas Farah, Isaac Goldbring, Bradd Hart, David Sherman (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We examine the properties of existentially closed ( $^{ω}$ -embeddable) II₁ factors. In particular, we use the fact that every automorphism of an existentially closed ( $^{ω}$ -embeddable) II₁ factor is approximately inner to prove that Th() is not model-complete. We also show that Th() is complete for both finite and infinite forcing and use the latter result to prove that there exist continuum many nonisomorphic existentially closed models of Th().

Chaotic behaviour of continuous dynamical system generated by Euler equation branching and its application in macroeconomic equilibrium model

Barbora Volná (2015)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We focus on the special type of the continuous dynamical system which is generated by Euler equation branching. Euler equation branching is a type of differential inclusion $\dot{x} \in {f (x), g (x)}$ , where $f, g : X \subset ℝ^{n} \to ℝ^{n}$ are continuous and $f (x) \neq g (x)$ at every point $x \in X$ . It seems this chaotic behaviour is typical for such dynamical system. In the second part we show an application in a new formulated overall macroeconomic equilibrium model. This new model is based on the fundamental macroeconomic aggregate equilibrium model called...

Superdiffusivity for brownian motion in a poissonian potential with long range correlation II: Upper bound on the volume exponent

Hubert Lacoin (2012)

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

Similarity:

This paper continues a study on trajectories of Brownian Motion in a field of soft trap whose radius distribution is unbounded. We show here that for both point-to-point and point-to-plane model the volume exponent (the exponent associated to transversal fluctuation of the trajectories) $ξ$ is strictly less than $1$ and give an explicit upper bound that depends on the parameters of the problem. In some specific cases, this upper bound matches the lower bound proved in the first part of this...

The number of absorbed individuals in branching brownian motion with a barrier

Pascal Maillard (2013)

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

Similarity:

We study supercritical branching Brownian motion on the real line starting at the origin and with constant drift $c$ . At the point $x g t; 0$ , we add an absorbing barrier, i.e. individuals touching the barrier are instantly killed without producing offspring. It is known that there is a critical drift $c_{0}$ , such that this process becomes extinct almost surely if and only if $c \geq c_{0}$ . In this case, if $Z_{x}$ denotes the number of individuals absorbed at the barrier, we give an asymptotic for $P (Z_{x} = n)$ as $n$ goes to infinity....

Three examples of brownian flows on $ℝ$

Yves Le Jan, Olivier Raimond (2014)

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

Similarity:

We show that the only flow solving the stochastic differential equation (SDE) on $ℝ$ $d X_{t} = 1_{{X_{t} g t; 0}} W^{+} (d t) + 1_{{X_{t} l t; 0}} d W^{-} (d t),$ where $W^{+}$ and $W^{-}$ are two independent white noises, is a coalescing flow we will denote by $ϕ^{\pm}$ . The flow $ϕ^{\pm}$ is a Wiener solution of the SDE. Moreover, $K^{+} = 𝖤 [δ_{ϕ^{\pm}} | W^{+}]$ is the unique solution (it is also a Wiener solution) of the SDE $K_{s, t}^{+} f (x) = f (x) + \int_{s}^{t} K_{s, u} (1_{ℝ}^{+} f^{'}) (x) W^{+} (d u) + \frac{1}{2} \int_{s}^{t} K_{s, u} f ` ` (x) d u$ for $s l t; t$ , $x \in ℝ$ and $f$ a twice continuously differentiable function. A third flow $ϕ^{+}$ can be constructed out of the $n$ -point motions of $K^{+}$ . This flow is coalescing and its $n$ -point motion...
