On Weak Tail Domination of Random Vectors

Rafał Latała (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Motivated by a question of Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz we study a notion of weak tail domination of random vectors. We show that if the dominating random variable is sufficiently regular then weak tail domination implies strong tail domination. In particular, a positive answer to Oleszkiewicz's question would follow from the so-called Bernoulli conjecture. We also prove that any unconditional logarithmically concave distribution is strongly dominated by a product symmetric exponential measure.

On Wiener–Hopf factors for stable processes

Piotr Graczyk, Tomasz Jakubowski (2011)

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

We give a series representation of the logarithm of the bivariate Laplace exponent κ of α-stable processes for almost all α ∈ (0, 2].

Optimal closing of a pair trade with a model containing jumps

Stig Larsson, Carl Lindberg, Marcus Warfheimer (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

A pair trade is a portfolio consisting of a long position in one asset and a short position in another, and it is a widely used investment strategy in the financial industry. Recently, Ekström, Lindberg, and Tysk studied the problem of optimally closing a pair trading strategy when the difference of the two assets is modelled by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In the present work the model is generalized to also include jumps. More precisely, we assume that the difference between the assets is an...
