In the first part of the paper, we study reflected backward stochastic differential equations (RBSDEs) with lower obstacle which is assumed to be right upper-semicontinuous but not necessarily right-continuous. We prove existence and…
We study the problem of approximation of 2D set of points. Such type of problems always occur in physical experiments, econometrics, data analysis and other areas. The often problems of outliers or spikes usually make researchers to apply…
In this paper, we solve explicitly the optimal stopping problem with random discounting and an additive functional as cost of observations for a regular linear diffusion. We also extend the results to the class of one-sided regular Feller…
We derive a change of variable formula for $C^1$ functions $U:\R_+\times\R^m\to\R$ whose second order spatial derivatives may explode and not be integrable in the neighbourhood of a surface $b:\R_+\times\R^{m-1}\to \R$ that splits the state…
In this two-part study we develop a general approach to the design and analysis of exact penalty functions for various optimal control problems, including problems with terminal and state constraints, problems involving differential…
We describe a variational approach to solving optimal stopping problems for diffusion processes, as an alternative to the traditional approach based on the solution of the free-boundary problem. We study smooth pasting conditions from a…
The optimal stopping problem is one of the core problems in financial markets, with broad applications such as pricing American and Bermudan options. The deep BSDE method [Han, Jentzen and E, PNAS, 115(34):8505-8510, 2018] has shown great…
Overdetermined systems of first kind integral equations appear in many applications. When the right-hand side is discretized, the resulting finite-data problem is ill-posed and admits infinitely many solutions. We propose a numerical method…
The aim of this paper is to adapt the general multitime maximum principle to a Riemannian setting. More precisely, we intend to study geometric optimal control problems constrained by the metric compatibility evolution PDE system; the…
We study American swaptions in the linear-rational (LR) term structure model introduced in [5]. The American swaption pricing problem boils down to an optimal stopping problem that is analytically tractable. It reduces to a free-boundary…
In this paper, we study a maximization and a minimization problem associated with a Poisson boundary value problem. Optimal solutions in a set of rearrangements of a given function define stationary and stable flows of an ideal fluid in two…
This paper is concerned with the solution of the optimal stopping problem associated to the valuation of Perpetual American options driven by continuous time Markov chains. We introduce a new dynamic approach for the numerical pricing of…
We establish a polynomial turnpike estimate for an optimal control problem consisting of a system of infinitely many controlled oscillators, considered as an abstract differential equation in a Hilbert space, with a quadratic cost. Our…
This paper studies finite-horizon stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problems with random coefficients and Poisson jumps, where the weighting matrices may be random and indefinite. Under a uniform convexity condition on the cost…
This work addresses the problem of pricing American basket options in a multivariate setting, which includes among others, the Bachelier and the Black-Scholes models. In high dimensions, nonlinear partial differential equation methods for…
We study several optimal stopping problems that arise from trading a mean-reverting price spread over a finite horizon. Modeling the spread by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, we analyze three different trading strategies: (i) the long-short…
We consider image registration as an optimal control problem using an optical flow formulation, i.e., we discuss an optimization problem that is governed by a linear hyperbolic transport equation. Requiring Lipschitz continuity of the…
Many decision problems in economics, information technology, and industry can be transformed to an optimal stopping of adapted random vectors with some utility function over the set of Markov times with respect to filtration build by the…
This article is concerned with modulus of continuity of Brownian local times. Specifically, we focus on 3 closely related problems: (a) Limit theorem for a Brownian modulus of continuity involving Riesz potentials, where the limit law is an…
The maximality principle has been a valuable tool in identifying the free-boundary functions that are associated with the solutions to several optimal stopping problems involving one-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusions and their running…
