摘要:
Let (M-t) be any martingale with M-0 = 0, an intermediate law M-1 similar to mu (1), and terminal law M-2 similar to mu (2), and let (M) over bar (2) = sup(0 less than or equal to1 less than or equal to2) M-t. In this paper we prove that there exists an upper bound, with respect to stochastic ordering of probability measures, on the law of (M) over bar (2). We construct, using excursion theory, a martingale which attains this maximum. Finally we apply this result to the robust hedging of a lookback option.
