The F\"ollmer-Schweizer decomposition under incomplete information
Abstract
In this paper we study the F\"ollmer-Schweizer decomposition of a square integrable random variable with respect to a given semimartingale under restricted information. Thanks to the relationship between this decomposition and that of the projection of with respect to the given information flow, we characterize the integrand appearing in the F\"ollmer-Schweizer decomposition under partial information in the general case where is not necessarily adapted to the available information level. For partially observable Markovian models where the dynamics of depends on an unobservable stochastic factor , we show how to compute the decomposition by means of filtering problems involving functions defined on an infinite-dimensional space. Moreover, in the case of a partially observed jump-diffusion model where is described by a pure jump process taking values in a finite dimensional space, we compute explicitly the integrand in the F\"ollmer-Schweizer decomposition by working with finite dimensional filters.
