Given a stochastic structure with a filtration $\mathbb{F}$, the class of all random times whose conditional distribution functions are differentiable with respect to some $\mathbb{F}$ adapted non decreasing processes is considered. The…
We study the predictable representation property in the progressive enlargement F^\tau of a reference filtration F by a random time \tau. Our approach is based on the decomposition of any random time into two parts, one overlapping…
In this paper we obtain a martingale representation theorem in the progressive enlargement $\mathbb{G}$ by a random time $\tau$ of the filtration $\mathbb{F}^L$ generated by a L\'evy process $L$. The assumptions on the random time are that…
We work in the setting of the progressive enlargement $\mathbb G$ of a reference filtration $\mathbb F$ through the observation of a random time $\tau$. We study an integral representation property for some classes of $\mathbb…
In this paper, we assume that the filtration $\bb F$ is generated by a $d$-dimensional Brownian motion $W=(W_1,\cdots,W_d)'$ as well as an integer-valued random measure $\mu(du,dy)$. The random variable $\ttau$ is the default time and $L$…
We deal with various alternative decompositions of F-martingales with respect to the filtration G which represents the enlargement of a filtration F by a progressive flow of observations of a random time that either belongs to the class of…
Given a reference filtration $\mathbb{F}$, we develop in this work a generic method for computing the semimartingale decomposition of $\mathbb{F}$-martingales in some specific enlargements of $\mathbb{F}$. This method is then applied to the…
We consider a market model where there are two levels of information. The public information generated by the financial assets, and a larger flow of information that contains additional knowledge about a random time. This random time can…
In this note we introduce a new kind of augmentation of filtrations along a sequence of stopping times. This augmentation is suitable for the construction of new probability measures associated to a positive strict local martingale as done…
We consider the Partition problem and propose a deterministic FPTAS (Fully Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme) that runs in $\widetilde{O}(n + 1/\varepsilon)$-time. This is the best possible (up to a polylogarithmic factor) assuming the…
Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},(\mathcal{F}_t)_{t \geq 0},\mathbb{P})$ be a filtered probability space satisfying the usual assumptions: it is usually not possible to extend to $\mathcal{F}_{\infty}$ (the $\sigma$-algebra generated by…
In this paper, a study of random times on filtered probability spaces is undertaken. The main message is that, as long as distributional properties of optional processes up to the random time are involved, there is no loss of generality in…
Splitting probabilities quantify the likelihood of particular outcomes out of a set of mutually-exclusive possibilities for stochastic processes and play a central role in first-passage problems. For two-dimensional Markov processes…
We present an elementary treatment of the Optional Decomposition Theorem for continuous semimartingales and general filtrations. This treatment does not assume the existence of equivalent local martingale measure(s), only that of strictly…
For linear differential equations of the form $u'(t)=[A + B(t)] u(t)$, $t\geq0$, with a possibly unbounded operator $A$, we construct and deduce error bounds for two families of second-order exponential splittings. The role of quadratures…
In the definition of the stochastic integral, apart from the integrand and the integrator, there is an underlying filtration that plays a role. Thus, it is natural to ask: {\it Does the stochastic integral depend upon the filtration?} In…
In the present article, a new method for the evaluation of fractional derivatives of arbitrary real order is proposed. Numerous but inequivalent formulations have been given in the past. Some of them exhibit unsatisfactory properties such…
Given two filtrations $\mathbb F \subset \mathbb G$, we study under which conditions the $\mathbb F$-optional projection and the $\mathbb F$-dual optional projection coincide for the class of $\mathbb G$-optional processes with integrable…
We consider a complete probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$, which is endowed with two filtrations, $\mathbb{G}$ and $\mathbb{F}$, assumed to satisfy the usual conditions and such that $\mathbb{F} \subset \mathbb{G}$. On this…
