A classic paper of Borwein/Lewis (1991) studies optimisation problems over L^p_+ with finitely many linear equality constraints, given by scalar products with functions from L^q. One key result shows that if some x in L^p_+ satisfies the constraints and if the constraint functions are...

A P-sigma-martingale density for a given stochastic process S is a local P-martingale Z0 starting at 1 such that the product ZS is a P-sigma-martingale. Existence of a P-sigma-martingale density is equivalent to a classic absence-of-arbitrage property of S, and it is invariant if we replace the...
