Approximation at first and second order of -order integrals of the fractional Brownian motion and of certain semimartingales.
We show a result of approximation in law of the d-parameter fractional Brownian sheet in the space of the continuous functions on [0,T]d. The construction of these approximations is based on the functional invariance principle.
In this paper we consider a symmetric α-stable Lévy process Z. We use a series representation of Z to condition it on the largest jump. Under this condition, Z can be presented as a sum of two independent processes. One of them is a Lévy process parametrized by x > 0 which has finite moments of all orders. We show that converges to Z uniformly on compact sets with probability one as x↓ 0. The first term in the cumulant expansion of corresponds to a Brownian motion which implies that can...
A stochastic “Fubini” lemma and an approximation theorem for integrals on the plane are used to produce a simulation algorithm for an anisotropic fractional Brownian sheet. The convergence rate is given. These results are valuable for any value of the Hurst parameters Finally, the approximation process is iterative on the quarter plane A sample of such simulations can be used to test estimators of the parameters αi,i = 1,2.
We establish some error estimates for the approximation of an optimal stopping problem along the paths of the Black–Scholes model. This approximation is based on a tree method. Moreover, we give a global approximation result for the related obstacle problem.

If a stochastic process can be approximated with a Wiener process with positive drift, then its maximum also can be approximated with a Wiener process with positive drift.
Various aspects of arbitrage on finite horizon continuous time markets using simple strategies consisting of a finite number of transactions are studied. Special attention is devoted to transactions without shortselling, in which we are not allowed to borrow assets. The markets without or with proportional transaction costs are considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for absence of arbitrage are shown.
We consider markets with proportional transaction costs and shortsale restrictions. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the absence of arbitrage and also estimate the super-replication price.
We consider the problem of designing adapted kernels for approximating functions invariant under a known finite group action. We introduce the class of argumentwise invariant kernels, and show that they characterize centered square-integrable random fields with invariant paths, as well as Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces of invariant functions. Two subclasses of argumentwise kernels are considered, involving a fundamental domain or a double sum over orbits. We then derive invariance properties...
