We propose a new theoretical framework that exploits convolution kernels to transform a Volterra-type path-dependent (non-Markovian) stochastic process into a standard (Markovian) diffusion process. Remarkably, it is also possible to go…

Volterra processes appear in several applications ranging from turbulence to energy finance where they are used in the modelling of e.g. temperatures and wind and the related financial derivatives. Volterra processes are in general…

We consider a stochastic Volterra integral equation with regular path-dependent coefficients and a Brownian motion as integrator in a multidimensional setting. Under an imposed absolute continuity condition, the unique solution is a…

This article provides the mathematical foundation for stochastically continuous affine processes on the cone of positive semidefinite symmetric matrices. This analysis has been motivated by a large and growing use of matrix-valued affine…

This article presents a novel solution method for nonautonomous linear ordinary fractional differential equations. The approach is based on reformulating the analytical solution using the $\star$-product, a generalization of the Volterra…

We consider one-dimensional stochastic Volterra equations with jumps for which we establish conditions upon the convolution kernel and coefficients for the strong existence and pathwise uniqueness of a non-negative c\`adl\`ag solution. By…

We consider linear scalar wave equations with a hereditary integral term of the kind used to model viscoelastic solids. The kernel in this Volterra integral is a sum of decaying exponentials (The so-called Maxwell, or Zener model) and this…

We consider local martingales which are standard or stochastic exponentials M of one component X of a multivariate affine process in the sense of Duffie, Filipovic and Schachermayer (2003). By completing their characterization of…

We define a class of functions which have a known decay rate coupled with a periodic fluctuation. We identify conditions on the kernel of a linear summation convolution Volterra equation which give the equivalence of the kernel lying in…

The theory of affine processes on the space of positive semidefinite d x d matrices has been established in a joint work with Cuchiero, Filipovi\'c and Teichmann (2011). We confirm the conjecture stated therein that in dimension d greater…
