摘要:In this paper we study a class of stochastic control problems in which the control of the jump size is essential. Such a model is a generalized version for various applied problems ranging from optimal reinsurance selections for general insurance models to queueing theory. The main novel point of such a control problem is that by changing the jump size of the system, one essentially changes the type of the driving martingale. Such a feature does not seem to have been investigated in any existi...

摘要:The paper is devoted to the study of nonlinear stochastic Schrodinger equations driven by standard cylindrical Brownian motions (NSSEs) arising from the unraveling of quantum master equations. Under the Born-Markov approximations, this class of stochastic evolutions equations on Hilbert spaces provides characterizations of both continuous quantum measurement processes and the evolution of quantum systems. First, we deal with the existence and uniqueness of regular solutions to NSSEs. Second, w...

摘要:In this paper, some of these techniques are extended to a general class of skip-free Markov chains. As in the case of queueing models, a fluid approximation is obtained by scaling time, space and the initial condition by a large constant. The resulting fluid limit is the solution of an ordinary differential equation (ODE) in most of the state space. Stability and finer ergodic properties for the stochastic model then follow from stability of the set of fluid limits. Moreover, similarly to the ...

摘要:In markets with transaction costs, consistent price systems play the same role as martingale measures in frictionless markets. We prove that if a continuous price process has conditional full support, then it admits consistent price systems for arbitrarily small transaction costs. This result applies to a large class of Markovian and non-Markovian models, including geometric fractional Brownian motion. Using the constructed price systems, we show, under very general assumptions, the following ...

摘要:We study how the spread of computer viruses, worms and other self-replicating malware is affected by the logical topology of the network over which they propagate. We consider a model in which each host can be in one of 3 possible states-susceptible, infected or removed (cured and no longer susceptible to infection). We characterize how the size of the population that eventually becomes infected depends on the network topology. Specifically, we show that if the ratio of cure to infection rates...

摘要:In earlier studies, the estimation of the volatility of a stock using information on the daily opening, closing, high and low prices has been developed; the additional information in the high and low prices can be incorporated to produce unbiased (or near-unbiased) estimators with substantially lower variance than the simple open-close estimator. This paper tackles the more difficult task of estimating the correlation of two stocks based on the daily opening, closing, high and low prices of ea...

摘要:On a locally finite point set, a navigation defines a path through the point set from one point to another. The set of paths leading to a given point defines a tree known as the navigation tree. In this article, we analyze the properties of the navigation tree when the point set is a Poisson point process on R-d. We examine the local weak convergence of the navigation tree, the asymptotic average of a functional along a path, the shape of the navigation tree and its topological ends. We illust...

摘要:Suppose that local characteristics of several independent compound Poisson and Wiener processes change suddenly and simultaneously at some unobservable disorder time. The problem is to detect the disorder time as quickly as possible after it happens and minimize the rate of false alarms at the same time. These problems arise, for example, from managing product quality in manufacturing systems and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. The promptness and accuracy of detection rules impro...

摘要:We study some recursive procedures based on exact or approximate Euler schemes with decreasing step to compute the invariant measure of Levy driven SDEs. We prove the convergence of these procedures toward the invariant measure under weak conditions on the moment of the Levy process and on the mean-reverting of the dynamical system. We also show that an a.s. CLT for stable processes can be derived from our main results. Finally, we illustrate our results by several simulations.

摘要:In an incomplete Brownian-motion market setting, we propose a convex monotonic pricing functional for nonattainable bounded contingent claims which is compatible with prices for attainable claims. The pricing functional is defined as the convex conjugate of a generalized entropy penalty functional and an interpretation in terms of tracking with instantaneously vanishing risk can be given.
