Variational analysis for the Black and Scholes equation with stochastic volatility

Yves Achdou, Nicoletta Tchou (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We propose a variational analysis for a Black and Scholes equation with stochastic volatility. This equation gives the price of a European option as a function of the time, of the price of the underlying asset and of the volatility when the volatility is a function of a mean reverting Orstein-Uhlenbeck process, possibly correlated with the underlying asset. The variational analysis involves weighted Sobolev spaces. It enables to prove qualitative properties of the solution, namely a maximum principle...

Variational problems with free boundaries for the fractional Laplacian

Luis Caffarelli, Jean-Michel Roquejoffre, Yannick Sire (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We discuss properties (optimal regularity, nondegeneracy, smoothness of the free boundary etc.) of a variational interface problem involving the fractional Laplacian; due to the nonlocality of the Dirichlet problem, the task is nontrivial. This difficulty is bypassed by an extension formula, discovered by the first author and Silvestre, which reduces the study to that of a codimension 2 (degenerate) free boundary.

Volume Filling Effect in Modelling Chemotaxis

D. Wrzosek (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The oriented movement of biological cells or organisms in response to a chemical gradient is called chemotaxis. The most interesting situation related to self-organization phenomenon takes place when the cells detect and response to a chemical which is secreted by themselves. Since pioneering works of Patlak (1953) and Keller and Segel (1970) many particularized models have been proposed to describe the aggregation phase of this process. Most of...

Weak entropic solution to a scalar hyperbolic-parabolic law.

Guy Vallet (2003)

RACSAM

In this paper we are interested in the Dirichlet problem of a hyperbolic-parabolic degenerate equation. Thanks to a global entropic formulation in the sense of F. Otto, we propose a result of existence and uniqueness of the entropic measure valued solution and of the entropic weak solution in the space DM2.

Weak Solutions for a Fourth Order Degenerate Parabolic Equation

Changchun Liu, Jinyong Guo (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a fourth order degenerate parabolic equation. Under some assumptions on the initial value, we establish the existence of weak solutions by the discrete-time method. The asymptotic behavior and the finite speed of propagation of perturbations of solutions are also discussed.

Weak-strong uniqueness for a class of degenerate parabolic cross-diffusion systems

Philippe Laurençot, Bogdan-Vasile Matioc (2023)

Archivum Mathematicum

Bounded weak solutions to a particular class of degenerate parabolic cross-diffusion systems are shown to coincide with the unique strong solution determined by the same initial condition on the maximal existence interval of the latter. The proof relies on an estimate established for a relative entropy associated to the system.
