Static hedging of barrier options with a smile : an inverse problem

Claude Bardos, Raphaël Douady, Andrei Fursikov (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Let L be a parabolic second order differential operator on the domain Π ¯ = 0 , T × . Given a function u ^ : R and x ^ > 0 such that the support of u ^ is contained in ( - , - x ^ ] , we let y ^ : Π ¯ be the solution to the equation: L y ^ = 0 , y ^ | { 0 } × = u ^ . Given positive bounds 0 < x 0 < x 1 , we seek a function u with support in x 0 , x 1 such that the corresponding solution y satisfies: y ( t , 0 ) = y ^ ( t , 0 ) t 0 , T . We prove in this article that, under some regularity conditions on the coefficients of L , continuous solutions are unique and dense in the sense that y ^ | [ 0 , T ] × { 0 } can be C 0 -approximated, but an exact solution does not...

Stationary distributions for jump processes with memory

K. Burdzy, T. Kulczycki, R. L. Schilling (2012)

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

We analyze a jump processes Z with a jump measure determined by a “memory” process S . The state space of ( Z , S ) is the Cartesian product of the unit circle and the real line. We prove that the stationary distribution of ( Z , S ) is the product of the uniform probability measure and a Gaussian distribution.

Stationary Quantum Markov processes as solutions of stochastic differential equations

Jürgen Hellmich, Claus Köstler, Burkhard Kümmerer (1998)

Banach Center Publications

From the operator algebraic approach to stationary (quantum) Markov processes there has emerged an axiomatic definition of quantum white noise. The role of Brownian motion is played by an additive cocycle with respect to its time evolution. In this report we describe some recent work, showing that this general structure already allows a rich theory of stochastic integration and stochastic differential equations. In particular, if a quantum Markov process is represented by a unitary cocycle, we can...

Statistical causality and adapted distribution

Ljiljana Petrović, Sladjana Dimitrijević (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In the paper D. Hoover, J. Keisler: Adapted probability distributions, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 286 (1984), 159–201 the notion of adapted distribution of two stochastic processes was introduced, which in a way represents the notion of equivalence of those processes. This very important property is hard to prove directly, so we continue the work of Keisler and Hoover in finding sufficient conditions for two stochastic processes to have the same adapted distribution. For this purpose we use the concept...

Stochastic affine evolution equations with multiplicative fractional noise

Bohdan Maslowski, J. Šnupárková (2018)

Applications of Mathematics

A stochastic affine evolution equation with bilinear noise term is studied, where the driving process is a real-valued fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter greater than 1 / 2 . Stochastic integration is understood in the Skorokhod sense. The existence and uniqueness of weak solution is proved and some results on the large time dynamics are obtained.

Stochastic averaging lemmas for kinetic equations

Pierre-Louis Lions, Benoît Perthame, Panagiotis E. Souganidis (2011/2012)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

We develop a class of averaging lemmas for stochastic kinetic equations. The velocity is multiplied by a white noise which produces a remarkable change in time scale.Compared to the deterministic case and as far as we work in L 2 , the nature of regularity on averages is not changed in this stochastic kinetic equation and stays in the range of fractional Sobolev spaces at the price of an additional expectation. However all the exponents are changed; either time decay rates are slower (when the right...

Stochastic calculus and degenerate boundary value problems

Patrick Cattiaux (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Consider the boundary value problem (L.P): ( h - A ) u = f in D , ( v - Γ ) u = g on D where A is written as A = 1 / 2 i = 1 m Y i 2 + Y 0 , and Γ is a general Venttsel’s condition (including the oblique derivative condition). We prove existence, uniqueness and smoothness of the solution of (L.P) under the Hörmander’s condition on the Lie brackets of the vector fields Y i ( 0 i m ), for regular open sets D with a non-characteristic boundary.Our study lies on the stochastic representation of u and uses the stochastic calculus of variations for the ( A , Γ ) -diffusion process...
