We consider a Markov jump process on a general state space to which we apply a time-dependent weak perturbation over a finite time interval. By martingale-based stochastic calculus, under a suitable exponential moment bound for the…
This paper introduces the formalism required to analyze a certain class of stochastic control problems that involve a super diffusion as the underlying controlled system. To establish the existence of these processes, we show that they are…
We prove a maximum principle for the problem of optimal control for a fractional diffusion with infinite horizon. Further, we show existence of fractional backward stochastic differential equations on infinite horizon. We illustrate our…
We consider an impulse control problem in infinite horizon. To solve this problem, we extend to the infinite horizon case results of double barrier reflected backward stochastic differential equations. The properties of the Snell envelope…
This paper is concerned with tests for changes in the jump behaviour of a time-continuous process. Based on results on weak convergence of a sequential empirical tail integral process, asymptotics of certain tests statistics for breaks in…
We present sufficient conditions, in terms of the jumping kernels, for two large classes of conservative Markov processes of pure-jump type to be purely discontinuous martingales with finite second moment. As an application, we establish…
We generalise the martingale-coboundary representation of discrete time stochastic processes to the non-stationary case and to random variables in Orlicz spaces. Related limit theorems (CLT, invariance principle, log log law, probabilities…
We propose a new test to determine whether jumps are present in asset returns or other discretely sampled processes. As the sampling interval tends to 0, our test statistic converges to 1 if there are jumps, and to another deterministic and…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic of exit problem for controlled Markov diffusion processes with random jumps and vanishing diffusion terms, where the random jumps are introduced in order to modify the evolution of the controlled…
We solve the problem of mean-variance hedging for general semimartingale models via stochastic control methods. After proving that the value process of the associated stochastic control problem has a quadratic structure, we characterize its…
In most real cases transition probabilities between operational modes of Markov jump linear systems cannot be computed exactly and are time-varying. We take into account this aspect by considering Markov jump linear systems where the…
Decision processes with incomplete state feedback have been traditionally modeled as Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes. In this paper, we present an alternative formulation based on probabilistic regular languages. The proposed…
In this note, we propose two different approaches to rigorously justify a pseudo-Markov property for controlled diffusion processes which is often (explicitly or implicitly) used to prove the dynamic programming principle in the stochastic…
We consider the diffusive limit of a typical pure-jump Markovian control problem as the intensity of the driving Poisson process tends to infinity. We show that the convergence speed is provided by the H\"older constant of the Hessian of…
The aim of the paper is to study an optimal control problem on infinite horizon for an infinite dimensional integro-differential equation with completely monotone kernelskernels, where we assume that the noise enters the system when we…
In this paper, a sub-optimal boundary control strategy for a free boundary problem is investigated. The model is described by a non-smooth convection-diffusion equation. The control problem is addressed by an instantaneous strategy based on…
We study a time-inconsistent singular stochastic control problem for a general one-dimensional diffusion, where time-inconsistency arises from a non-exponential discount function. To address this, we adopt a game-theoretic framework and…
We develop a general framework for extracting highly uniform bounds on local stability for stochastic processes in terms of information on fluctuations or crossings. This includes a large class of martingales: As a corollary of our main…
We propose a new estimation scheme for estimation of the volatility parameters of a semimartingale with jumps based on a jump-detection filter. Our filter uses all of data to analyze the relative size of increments and to discriminate jumps…
Many methods for estimating integrated volatility and related functionals of semimartingales in the presence of jumps require specification of tuning parameters for their use in practice. In much of the available theory, tuning parameters…
