On the long-time behaviour of a class of parabolic SPDE's: monotonicity methods and exchange of stability

Benjamin Bergé, Bruno Saussereau (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this article we prove new results concerning the structure and the stability properties of the global attractor associated with a class of nonlinear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations driven by a standard multidimensional Brownian motion. We first use monotonicity methods to prove that the random fields either stabilize exponentially rapidly with probability one around one of the two equilibrium states, or that they set out to oscillate between them. In the first case we can...

On the singular limit of solutions to the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross interest rate model with stochastic volatility

Beáta Stehlíková, Daniel Ševčovič (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper we are interested in term structure models for pricing zero coupon bonds under rapidly oscillating stochastic volatility. We analyze solutions to the generalized Cox–Ingersoll–Ross two factors model describing clustering of interest rate volatilities. The main goal is to derive an asymptotic expansion of the bond price with respect to a singular parameter representing the fast scale for the stochastic volatility process. We derive the second order asymptotic expansion of a solution...

On the uniqueness of solutions to quadratic BSDEs with convex generators and unbounded terminal conditions

Freddy Delbaen, Ying Hu, Adrien Richou (2011)

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

In [Probab. Theory Related Fields141 (2008) 543–567], the authors proved the uniqueness among the solutions of quadratic BSDEs with convex generators and unbounded terminal conditions which admit every exponential moments. In this paper, we prove that uniqueness holds among solutions which admit some given exponential moments. These exponential moments are natural as they are given by the existence theorem. Thanks to this uniqueness result we can strengthen the nonlinear Feynman–Kac formula proved...

Optimal position targeting with stochastic linear-quadratic costs

Stefan Ankirchner, Thomas Kruse (2015)

Banach Center Publications

We consider the dynamic control problem of attaining a target position at a finite time T, while minimizing a linear-quadratic cost functional depending on the position and speed. We assume that the coefficients of the linear-quadratic cost functional are stochastic processes adapted to a Brownian filtration. We provide a probabilistic solution in terms of two coupled backward stochastic differential equations possessing a singularity at the terminal time T. We verify optimality of the candidate...

Option pricing in a CEV model with liquidity costs

Krzysztof Turek (2016)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The goal of this paper is to make an attempt to generalise the model of pricing European options with an illiquid underlying asset considered by Rogers and Singh (2010). We assume that an investor's decisions have only a temporary effect on the price, which is proportional to the square of the change of the number of asset units in the investor's portfolio. We also assume that the underlying asset price follows a CEV model. To prove existence and uniqueness of the solution, we use techniques similar...
