On approximation in multistage stochastic programs: Markov dependence

Vlasta Kaňková, Martin Šmíd (2004)

Kybernetika

A general multistage stochastic programming problem can be introduced as a finite system of parametric (one-stage) optimization problems with an inner type of dependence. Evidently, this type of the problems is rather complicated and, consequently, it can be mostly solved only approximately. The aim of the paper is to suggest some approximation solution schemes. To this end a restriction to the Markov type of dependence is supposed.

On certain Markov processes attached to exponential functionals of Brownian motion: application to Asian options.

Catherine Donati-Martin, Raouf Ghomrasni, Marc Yor (2001)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We obtain a closed formula for the Laplace transform of the first moment of certain exponential functionals of Brownian motion with drift, which gives the price of Asian options. The proof relies on an identity in law between the average on [0,t] of a geometric Brownian motion and the value at time t of a Markov process, for which we can compute explicitly the resolvent.
