Mean-field neural networks-based algorithms for McKean-Vlasov control problems *

Huyên Pham, Xavier Warin

This paper is devoted to the numerical resolution of McKean-Vlasov control problems via the class of mean-field neural networks introduced in our companion paper [25] in order to l…

A level-set approach to the control of state-constrained McKean-Vlasov equations: application to renewable energy storage and portfolio selection

Maximilien Germain, Huyên Pham, Xavier Warin

We consider the control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics (or mean-field control) with probabilistic state constraints. We rely on a level-set approach which provides a representation of t…

Incentives, lockdown, and testing: from Thucydides's analysis to the COVID-19 pandemic

Emma Hubert, Thibaut Mastrolia, Dylan Possamaï +1

In this work, we provide a general mathematical formalism to study the optimal control of an epidemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, via incentives to lockdown and testing. In par…

Decomposition of convex high dimensional aggregative stochasticcontrol problems

Adrien Séguret, Clémence Alasseur, J. Frédéric Bonnans +3

We consider the framework of convex high dimensional stochastic control problems, in which the controls are aggregated in the cost function. As first contribution, we introduce a m…

On the well-posedness of a class of McKean Feynman-Kac equations

Jonas Lieber, Nadia Oudjane, Francesco Russo

We analyze the well-posedness of a so called McKean Feynman-Kac Equation (MFKE), which is a McKean type equation with a Feynman-Kac perturbation. We provide in particular weak and…

Fast and stable multivariate kernel density estimation by fast sum updating

Nicolas Langrené, Xavier Warin

Kernel density estimation and kernel regression are powerful but computationally expensive techniques: a direct evaluation of kernel density estimates at evaluation points give…

Liquidity Management with Decreasing-returns-to-scale and Secured Credit Line

Erwan Pierre, Stéphane Villeneuve, Xavier Warin

This paper examines the dividend and investment policies of a cash constrained firm that has access to costly external funding. We depart from the literature by allowing the firm t…

Hedging Expected Losses on Derivatives in Electricity Futures Markets

Adrien Nguyen Huu, Nadia Oudjane

We investigate the problem of pricing and hedging derivatives of Electricity Futures contract when the underlying asset is not available. We propose to use a cross hedging strategy…

Some non monotone schemes for time dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations in stochastic control

Xavier Warin

We introduce some approximation schemes for linear and fully non-linear diffusion equations of Bellman-Isaacs type. Although they are not monotone one can prove their convergence t…

Investment under uncertainty, competition and regulation

Adrien Nguyen Huu

We investigate a randomization procedure undertaken in real option games which can serve as a basic model of regulation in a duopoly model of preemptive investment. We recall the r…

Orbits in a stochastic Goodwin-Lotka-Volterra model

Bernardo Costa-Lima, Adrien Nguyen Huu

This paper examines the cycling behavior of a deterministic and a stochastic version of the economic interpretation of the Lotka-Volterra model, the Goodwin model. We provide a cha…

A Probabilistic Numerical Method for Fully Nonlinear Parabolic PDEs

Arash Fahim, Nizar Touzi, Xavier Warin

We consider the probabilistic numerical scheme for fully nonlinear PDEs suggested in \cite{cstv}, and show that it can be introduced naturally as a combination of Monte Carlo and f…
