Comparison principle approach to utility maximization

Peter Imkeller, Victor Nzengang (2015)

Banach Center Publications

We consider the problem of optimal investment for maximal expected utility in an incomplete market with trading strategies subject to closed constraints. Under the assumption that the underlying utility function has constant sign, we employ the comparison principle for BSDEs to construct a family of supermartingales leading to a necessary and sufficient condition for optimality. As a consequence, the value function is characterized as the initial value of a BSDE with Lipschitz growth.

Differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion.

David Nualart, Aurel Rascanu (2002)

Collectanea Mathematica

A global existence and uniqueness result of the solution for multidimensional, time dependent, stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H > 1/2 is proved. It is shown, also, that the solution has finite moments. The result is based on a deterministic existence and uniqueness theorem whose proof uses a contraction principle and a priori estimates.

Ergodicity of hypoelliptic SDEs driven by fractional brownian motion

M. Hairer, N. S. Pillai (2011)

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

We demonstrate that stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by fractional brownian motion with Hurst parameter H>½ have similar ergodic properties as SDEs driven by standard brownian motion. The focus in this article is on hypoelliptic systems satisfying Hörmander’s condition. We show that such systems enjoy a suitable version of the strong Feller property and we conclude that under a standard controllability condition they admit a unique stationary solution that is physical in the...
