We introduce the notion of κ-entropy (κ ∈ ℝ, |κ| ≤ 1), starting from Kaniadakis' (2001, 2002, 2005) one-parameter deformation of the ordinary exponential function. The κ-entropy is in duality with a new class of utility functions which are close to the exponential utility functions,...

The aim of this paper is to give an extension of the mean-variance hedging problem to the $\mathcal{L}^p$-setting, where 1 p ∞. Remark that the mean-variance hedging is corresponding to the case where p = 2. Firstly, we prove that the unique existence of the optimal hedging strategy in the...
