Robust estimates of certain large deviation probabilities for controlled semi-martingales

Hideo Nagai (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Motivated by downside risk minimization on the wealth process in an incomplete market model, we have studied in the recent work the asymptotic behavior as time horizon T → ∞ of the minimizing probability that the empirical mean of a controlled semi-martingale falls below a certain level on the time horizon T. This asymptotic behavior relates to a risk-sensitive stochastic control problem in the risk-averse case. Indeed, we obtained an expression of the decay rate of the probability by the Legendre...

Semimartingale decomposition of convex functions of continuous semimartingales by brownian perturbation

Nastasiya F. Grinberg (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this note we prove that the local martingale part of a convex function f of a d-dimensional semimartingale X = M + A can be written in terms of an Itô stochastic integral ∫H(X)dM, where H(x) is some particular measurable choice of subgradient ∇ f ( x ) off at x, and M is the martingale part of X. This result was first proved by Bouleau in [N. Bouleau, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sér. I Math. 292 (1981) 87–90]. Here we present a new treatment of the problem. We first prove the result for X ˜ = X + ϵ B x10ff65;...
