Retarded action principle and self-financing portfolio dynamics

Mathematical Finance 2016-06-23 v2 Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

We derive a consistent differential representation for the dynamics of a self-financing portfolio for different hedging strategies. In the basis of the derivation there is the so called "retarded action principle", which represents the causality in the evolution of dependent stochastic variables. We demonstrate this principle on example of a vanilla and a storage option.
