We study the utility maximization problem for power utility random fields in a semimartingale financial market, with and without intermediate consumption. The notion of an opportunity process is introduced as a reduced form of the value…
We study the two-times differentiability of the value functions of the primal and dual optimization problems that appear in the setting of expected utility maximization in incomplete markets. We also study the differentiability of the…
This paper treats the Merton problem how to invest in safe assets and risky assets to maximize an investor's utility, given by investment opportunities modeled by a $d$-dimensional state process. The problem is represented by a partial…
Consider an investor trading dynamically to maximize expected utility from terminal wealth. Our aim is to study the dependence between her risk aversion and the distribution of the optimal terminal payoff. Economic intuition suggests that…
We develop a continuous-time control approach to optimal trading in a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain, formulated as a consumption-investment problem that aims to strike the optimal balance between a participant's (or agent's) utility from…
This paper studies the finite horizon portfolio management by optimally tracking a ratcheting capital benchmark process. It is assumed that the fund manager can dynamically inject capital into the portfolio account such that the total…
We develop a novel five-component decomposition of optimal dynamic portfolio choice, which reveals the simultaneous impacts from market incompleteness and wealth-dependent utilities. Under the HARA utility and a nonrandom interest rate, we…
We examine the issue of sensitivity with respect to model parameters for the problem of utility maximization from final wealth in an incomplete Samuelson model and mainly, but not exclusively, for utility functions of positive power-type.…
This paper investigates the optimal control problems for the finite-horizon continuous-time Markov decision processes with delay-dependent control policies. We develop compactification methods in decision processes, and show that the…
We address the Merton problem of maximizing the expected utility of terminal wealth using techniques from variational analysis. Under a general continuous semimartingale market model with stochastic parameters, we obtain a characterization…
We consider a multi-stock continuous time incomplete market model with random coefficients. We study the investment problem in the class of strategies which do not use direct observations of the appreciation rates of the stocks, but rather…
This paper considers a robust time-consistent mean-variance-skewness portfolio selection problem for an ambiguity-averse investor by taking into account wealth-dependent risk aversion and wealth-dependent skewness preference as well as…
In this paper we consider an optimal investment and reinsurance problem with partially unknown model parameters which are allowed to be learned. The model includes multiple business lines and dependence between them. The aim is to maximize…
In this paper, we study an intertemporal utility maximization problem in which an investor chooses consumption and portfolio strategies in the presence of a stochastic factor and a no-borrowing constraint. In the spirit of the Kim-Omberg…
We apply stochastic Perron's method to a singular control problem where an individual targets at a given consumption rate, invests in a risky financial market in which trading is subject to proportional transaction costs, and seeks to…
In this paper, we investigate a fully nonlinear evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) parabolic equation utilizing the monotone operator technique. We consider the HJB equation arising from portfolio optimization selection, where the…
Maximum entropy reinforcement learning (RL) methods have been successfully applied to a range of challenging sequential decision-making and control tasks. However, most of existing techniques are designed for discrete-time systems. As a…
In this paper we consider an energy storage optimization problem in finite time in a model with partial information that allows for a changing economic environment. The state process consists of the storage level controlled by the storage…
We introduce a regulated stochastic diffusion model for the recycling rate and formulate a joint control problem over production and process innovation via the dynamics of recycling investment and product pricing. The resulting stochastic…
In this paper, we consider a financial market with assets exposed to some risks inducing jumps in the asset prices, and which can still be traded after default times. We use a default-intensity modeling approach, and address in this…
