We prove the existence and uniqueness of the fundamental solution for Kolmogorov operators associated to some stochastic processes, that arise in the Black & Scholes setting for the pricing problem relevant to path dependent options. We…
We study the optimal stopping of an American call option in a random time-horizon under exponential spectrally negative L\'evy models. The random time-horizon is modeled as the so-called Omega default clock in insurance, which is the first…
We prove that solution operators of elliptic obstacle-type variational inequalities (or, more generally, locally Lipschitz continuous functions possessing certain pointwise-a.e. convexity properties) are Newton differentiable when…
In this paper, we develop new optional stopping theorems for scenarios where the stopping rules are defined by bounded continuity regions. Moreover, we establish a wide variety of inequalities on the supremums and infimums of functions of…
In this paper we examine the problem of valuing an exotic derivative known as the American passport option where the underlying is driven by a L\'evy process. The passport option is a call option on a trading account. We derive the pricing…
We analyze a nonlocal diffusion operator having as special cases the fractional Laplacian and fractional differential operators that arise in several applications. In our analysis, a nonlocal vector calculus is exploited to define a weak…
L\'evy stable (jump-type) processes are examples of intrinsically nonlocal random motions. This property becomes a serious obstacle if one attempts to model conditions under which a particular L\'evy process may be subject to physically…
The global equi-continuity estimate on $L^p$-viscosity solutions of parabolic bilateral obstacle problems with unbounded ingredients is established when obstacles are merely continuous. The existence of $L^p$-viscosity solutions is…
We study a general class of nonlinear second-order variational inequalities with interconnected bilateral obstacles, related to a multiple modes switching game. Under rather weak assumptions, using systems of penalized unilateral backward…
We prove existence, regularity and a Feynman-Ka\v{c} representation formula of the strong solution to the free boundary problem arising in the financial problem of the pricing of the American Asian option with arithmetic average.
The aim of the paper is to show that the solutions to variational problems with non-standard growth conditions satisfy a corresponding variational inequality without any smallness assumptions on the gap between growth and coercitivity…
We consider an optimal stopping time problem related with many models found in real options problems. The main goal of this work is to bring for the field of real options, different and more realistic pay-off functions, and negative…
For the obstacle problem with a nonlinear operator, we characterize the space of global solutions with compact contact sets. This is achieved by constructing a bijection onto a class of quadratic polynomials describing the asymptotic…
We study the higher regularity of free boundaries in obstacle problems for integro-differential operators. Our main result establishes that, once free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$, then they are $C^\infty$. This completes the study of…
We study an equation governed by a discontinuous fully nonlinear operator. Such discontinuities are solution-dependent, which introduces a free boundary. Working under natural assumptions, we prove the existence of $L^p$-viscosity and…
We consider obstacle problems for nonlinear stochastic evolution equations. More precisely, the leading operator in our equation is a nonlinear, second order pseudomonotone operator of Leray-Lions type. The multiplicative noise term is…
In many recent applications when new materials and technologies are developed it is important to describe and simulate new nonlinear and nonlocal diffusion transport processes. A general class of such models deals with nonlocal fractional…
We are concerned with a priori estimates for the obstacle problem of a wide class of fully nonlinear equations on Riemannian manifolds. We use new techniques introduced by Bo Guan and derive new results for a priori second order estimates…
Local boundedness and Harnack inequalities are studied for solutions to parabolic and elliptic integro-differential equations whose governing nonlocal operators are associated with nonsymmetric forms. We present two independent proofs, one…
In this work we introduce the obstacle-mass constraint problem for a multidimensional scalar hyperbolic conservation law. We prove existence of an entropy solution to this problem by a penalization/viscosity method. The mass constraint…
