Valuation and optimal design to defaultable security

Jianhui Huang, Na Li (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Herein, we develop a backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) valuation of securities with default risk. Consequently, the optimal recovery problem with quasi-linear utility functions is discussed with the help of the stochastic maximum principle. Finally, two important examples: the exponential and power utility cases are studied and their business implications are considered.

Variational representations for continuous time processes

Amarjit Budhiraja, Paul Dupuis, Vasileios Maroulas (2011)

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

A variational formula for positive functionals of a Poisson random measure and brownian motion is proved. The formula is based on the relative entropy representation for exponential integrals, and can be used to prove large deviation type estimates. A general large deviation result is proved, and illustrated with an example.
