On adaptive control of a partially observed Markov chain

Giovanni Di Masi, Łukasz Stettner (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

A control problem for a partially observable Markov chain depending on a parameter with long run average cost is studied. Using uniform ergodicity arguments it is shown that, for values of the parameter varying in a compact set, it is possible to consider only a finite number of nearly optimal controls based on the values of actually computable approximate filters. This leads to an algorithm that guarantees nearly selfoptimizing properties without identifiability conditions. The algorithm is based...

On additive and multiplicative (controlled) Poisson equations

G. B. Di Masi, Ł. Stettner (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Assuming that a Markov process satisfies the minorization property, existence and properties of the solutions to the additive and multiplicative Poisson equations are studied using splitting techniques. The problem is then extended to the study of risk sensitive and risk neutral control problems and corresponding Bellman equations.

On approximations of nonzero-sum uniformly continuous ergodic stochastic games

Andrzej Nowak (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider a class of uniformly ergodic nonzero-sum stochastic games with the expected average payoff criterion, a separable metric state space and compact metric action spaces. We assume that the payoff and transition probability functions are uniformly continuous. Our aim is to prove the existence of stationary ε-equilibria for that class of ergodic stochastic games. This theorem extends to a much wider class of stochastic games a result proven recently by Bielecki [2].

On European option pricing under partial information

Meng Wu, Jue Lu, Nan-jing Huang (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a European option pricing problem under a partial information market, i.e., only the security's price can be observed, the rate of return and the noise source in the market cannot be observed. To make the problem tractable, we focus on gap option which is a generalized form of the classical European option. By using the stochastic analysis and filtering technique, we derive a Black-Scholes formula for gap option pricing with dividends under partial information. Finally, we apply filtering...

On exact null controllability of Black-Scholes equation

Kumarasamy Sakthivel, Krishnan Balachandran, Rangarajan Sowrirajan, Jeong-Hoon Kim (2008)

Kybernetika

In this paper we discuss the exact null controllability of linear as well as nonlinear Black–Scholes equation when both the stock volatility and risk-free interest rate influence the stock price but they are not known with certainty while the control is distributed over a subdomain. The proof of the linear problem relies on a Carleman estimate and observability inequality for its own dual problem and that of the nonlinear one relies on the infinite dimensional Kakutani fixed point theorem with L 2 ...

On improving sensitivity of the Kalman filter

Petr Franěk (2002)

Kybernetika

The impact of additive outliers on a performance of the Kalman filter is discussed and less outlier-sensitive modification of the Kalman filter is proposed. The improved filter is then used to obtain an improved smoothing algorithm and an improved state-space model parameters estimation.
