On pathwise uniqueness and expansion of filtrations
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.
We study the regularizing effect of the noise on differential equations with irregular coefficients. We present existence and uniqueness theorems for stochastic differential equations with locally unbounded drift.
We propose new copulae to model the dependence between two Brownian motions and to control the distribution of their difference. Our approach is based on the copula between the Brownian motion and its reflection. We show that the class of admissible copulae for the Brownian motions are not limited to the class of Gaussian copulae and that it also contains asymmetric copulae. These copulae allow for the survival function of the difference between two Brownian motions to have higher value in the right...
We derive a model based on the structure of dependence between a Brownian motion and its reflection according to a barrier. The structure of dependence presents two states of correlation: one of comonotonicity with a positive correlation and one of countermonotonicity with a negative correlation. This model of dependence between two Brownian motions B1 and B2 allows for the value of [...] to be higher than 1/2 when x is close to 0, which is not the case when the dependence is modeled by a constant...
A number of approaches for discretizing partial differential equations with random data are based on generalized polynomial chaos expansions of random variables. These constitute generalizations of the polynomial chaos expansions introduced by Norbert Wiener to expansions in polynomials orthogonal with respect to non-Gaussian probability measures. We present conditions on such measures which imply mean-square convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions to the correct limit and complement...
