Malliavin Calculus for a general manifold
Let be a symmetric semigroup of stable measures on a homogeneous group, with smooth Lévy measure. Applying Malliavin calculus for jump processes we prove that the measures have smooth densities.
We consider a financial market with memory effects in which wealth processes are driven by mean-field stochastic Volterra equations. In this financial market, the classical dynamic programming method can not be used to study the optimal investment problem, because the solution of mean-field stochastic Volterra equation is not a Markov process. In this paper, a new method through Malliavin calculus introduced in [1], can be used to obtain the optimal investment in a Volterra type financial market....
We combine Stein’s method with Malliavin calculus in order to obtain explicit bounds in the multidimensional normal approximation (in the Wasserstein distance) of functionals of gaussian fields. Among several examples, we provide an application to a functional version of the Breuer–Major CLT for fields subordinated to a fractional brownian motion.
