On approximation of solutions to a class of stochastic equations.
We introduce and investigate a new sort of stochastic differential inclusions on manifolds, given in terms of mean derivatives of a stochastic process, introduced by Nelson for the needs of the so called stochastic mechanics. This class of stochastic inclusions is ideologically the closest one to ordinary differential inclusions. For inclusions with forward mean derivatives on manifolds we prove some results on the existence of solutions.
We consider a European option pricing problem under a partial information market, i.e., only the security's price can be observed, the rate of return and the noise source in the market cannot be observed. To make the problem tractable, we focus on gap option which is a generalized form of the classical European option. By using the stochastic analysis and filtering technique, we derive a Black-Scholes formula for gap option pricing with dividends under partial information. Finally, we apply filtering...
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions of near-optimality for nonlinear systems governed by forward-backward stochastic differential equations with controlled jump processes (FBSDEJs in short). The set of controls under consideration is necessarily convex. The proof of our result is based on Ekeland's variational principle and continuity in some sense of the state and adjoint processes with respect to the control variable. We prove that under an additional hypothesis, the near-maximum...
We study a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation driven by a stable Lévy process of order with drift and diffusion coefficients , . When , we investigate pathwise uniqueness for this equation. When , we study another stochastic differential equation, which is equivalent in law, but for which pathwise uniqueness holds under much weaker conditions. We obtain various results, depending on whether or and on whether the driving stable process is symmetric or not. Our assumptions...
The purpose of this work is a study of the following insurance reserve model: , t ∈ [0,T], P(η ≥ c) ≥ 1-ϵ, ϵ ≥ 0. Under viability-type assumptions on a pair (p,σ) the estimation γ with the property: is considered.
We prove smoothing properties of nonlocal transition semigroups associated to a class of stochastic differential equations (SDE) in driven by additive pure-jump Lévy noise. In particular, we assume that the Lévy process driving the SDE is the sum of a subordinated Wiener process (i.e. , where is an increasing pure-jump Lévy process starting at zero and independent of the Wiener process ) and of an arbitrary Lévy process independent of , that the drift coefficient is continuous (but not...
We analyse multivalued stochastic differential equations driven by semimartingales. Such equations are understood as the corresponding multivalued stochastic integral equations. Under suitable conditions, it is shown that the considered multivalued stochastic differential equation admits at least one solution. Then we prove that the set of all solutions is closed and bounded.
