This paper is concerned with a stochastic linear quadratic (LQ, for short) control problem with a recursive cost functional in an infinite horizon. A main difficult is well-posedness of the BSDE in $L^1$ and in infinite horizon. A notion of…

We develop a theory of optimal stopping problems under G-expectation framework. We first define a new kind of random times, called G-stopping times, which is suitable for this problem. For the discrete time case with finite horizon, the…

We consider the problem of maximising expected utility from terminal wealth in a semimartingale setting, where the semimartingale is written as a sum of a time-changed Brownian motion and a finite variation process. To solve this problem,…
