In this paper, we provide some results on Skorokhod embedding with local time and its applications to the robust hedging problem in finance. First we investigate the robust hedging of options depending on the local time by using the…
A leveraged exchange traded fund (LETF) is an exchange traded fund that uses financial derivatives to amplify the price changes of a basket of goods. In this paper, we consider the robust hedging of European options on a LETF, finding…
In this paper, we study the delay-constrained input-queued switch where each packet has a deadline and it will expire if it is not delivered before its deadline. Such new scenario is motivated by the proliferation of real-time applications…
Recently, \cite{BeJu16, BeNuTo16} established that optimizers to the martingale optimal transport problem (MOT) are concentrated on $c$-monotone sets. In this article we characterize monotonicity preserving transformations revealing certain…
The Skorokhod embedding problem is to represent a given probability as the distribution of Brownian motion at a chosen stopping time. Over the last 50 years this has become one of the important classical problems in probability theory and a…
As a main step in the numerical solution of control problems in continuous time, the controlled process is approximated by sequences of controlled Markov chains, thus discretising time and space. A new feature in this context is to allow…
In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic impulse control problem when there is a fixed delay $\Delta$ between the decision and execution times. The dynamics of the controlled system between two impulses is an arbitrary adapted…
By using the Skorohod equation we derive an iteration procedure which allows us to solve a class of reflected backward stochastic differential equations with non-linear resistance induced by the reflected local time. In particular, we…
We solve the $n$-marginal Skorokhod embedding problem for a continuous local martingale and a sequence of probability measures $\mu_1,...,\mu_n$ which are in convex order and satisfy an additional technical assumption. Our construction is…
ASR endpointing (EP) plays a major role in delivering a good user experience in products supporting human or artificial agents in human-human/machine conversations. Transducer-based ASR (T-ASR) is an end-to-end (E2E) ASR modelling technique…
The planar Skorokhod embedding problem was first proposed and solved by R. Gross in 2019 [#gross2019]. Gross worked with probability distributions having finite second moment. In [#boudabra2019remarks, #Boudabra2020], the solutions extended…
In this work, we introduce a new Skorokhod problem with two reflecting barriers when the trajectories of the driven process and the barriers are right and left limited. We show that this problem has an explicit unique solution in a…
Delay embedding methods are a staple tool in the field of time series analysis and prediction. However, the selection of embedding parameters can have a big impact on the resulting analysis. This has led to the creation of a large number of…
We study a class of infinite-horizon impulse control problems with execution delay in discrete time. Using probabilistic methods, particularly the notion of the Snell envelope of processes, we construct an optimal strategy among all…

We consider cost minimizing stopping time solutions to Skorokhod embedding problems, which deal with transporting a source probability measure to a given target measure through a stopped Brownian process. PDEs and a free boundary problem…
We study stochastic delay differential equations (SDDE) where the coefficients depend on the moving averages of the state process. As a first contribution, we provide sufficient conditions under which a linear path functional of the…
Delays and stochasticity have both served as crucially valuable ingredients in mathematical descriptions of control, physical, and biological systems. In this work, we investigate how explicitly dynamical stochasticity in delays modulates…
We present a new construction of a Skorohod embedding, namely, given a probability measure mu with zero expectation and finite variance, we construct an integrable stopping time T adapted to a filtration F_t, such that W_t has the law mu,…
In this paper we consider the Skorokhod embedding problem for target distributions with non-zero mean. In the zero-mean case, uniform integrability provides a natural restriction on the class of embeddings, but this is no longer suitable…
