We offer a novel approach for solving optimal price adjustment problems, when the underlying process is a Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) process. Our approach relies on characterizing the cumulative cost of deviation and the cost of adjusting price until the hitting time of the lower or upper...

In this article we develop an explicit formula for pricing European options when the underlying stock price follows a non-linear stochastic differential delay equation (sdde). We believe that the proposed model is sufficiently flexible to fit real market data, and is yet simple enough to allow...

Using the Itô-Wiener chaos expansion we prove that the normalized self-intersection local time of planar Brownian motion is not differentiable in the sense of Meyer-Watanabe.

This article is a sequel to [A.H.M.P]. In [A.H.M.P], we develop an explicit formula for pricing European options when the underlying stock price follows a non-linear stochastic delay equation with fixed delays in the drift and diffusion terms. In this article, we look at models of the stock...

We study the problem of parameter estimation for generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by [alpha]-stable noises, observed at discrete time instants. Least squares method is used to obtain an asymptotically consistent estimator. The strong consistency and the rate of convergence of the...

We prove a stochastic maximum principle for controlled processes X(t)=X(u)(t) of the formdX(t)=b(t,X(t),u(t)) dt+[sigma](t,X(t),u(t)) dB(H)(t),where B(H)(t) is m-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter . As an application we solve a problem about minimal variance hedging in...

We extend the classical Garsia–Rodemich–Rumsey inequality to the multiparameter situation. The new inequality is applied to obtain some joint Hölder continuity along the rectangles for fractional Brownian fields W(t,x) and for the solution u(t,y) of the stochastic heat equation with...

Let $X_1(t)$, $\cdots$, $X_n(t)$ be $n$ geometric Brownian motions, possibly correlated. We study the optimal stopping problem: Find a stopping time $\tau^*\infty$ such that \[ \sup_{\tau}{\Bbb E}^x\Big\{ X_1(\tau)-X_2(\tau)-\cdots -X_n(\tau)\Big\}={\Bbb E}^x \Big\{...
