Note on the Weak Convergence of Hyperplane -Quantile Functionals and Their Continuity in the Skorokhod J1 Topology

Pietro Maria Sparago

The -quantile of a stochastic process has been introduced in Miura (Hitotsubashi J Commerce Manag 27(1):15-28, 1992), and important distributional results have been de…

Contagious McKean--Vlasov problems with common noise: from smooth to singular feedback through hitting times

Ben Hambly, Aldaïr Petronilia, Christoph Reisinger +2

We consider a family of McKean--Vlasov equations arising as the large particle limit of a system of interacting particles on the positive half-line with common noise and feedback.…

Simplified calculus for semimartingales: Multiplicative compensators and changes of measure

Aleš Černý, Johannes Ruf

The paper develops multiplicative compensation for complex-valued semimartingales and studies some of its consequences. It is shown that the stochastic exponential of any complex-v…

Simplified stochastic calculus via semimartingale representations

Aleš Černý, Johannes Ruf

We develop a stochastic calculus that makes it easy to capture a variety of predictable transformations of semimartingales such as changes of variables, stochastic integrals, and t…

On the last zero process with an application in corporate bankruptcy

Erik J. Baurdoux, J. M. Pedraza

For a spectrally negative Lévy process , consider , the last time is below the level zero before time . We use a perturbation method for Lévy processes to deri…

Pure-jump semimartingales

Aleš Černý, Johannes Ruf

A new integral with respect to an integer-valued random measure is introduced. In contrast to the finite variation integral ubiquitous in semimartingale theory (Jacod and Shiryaev,…

Integral representation of subharmonic functions and optimal stopping with random discounting

Umut Çetin

An integral representation result for strictly positive subharmonic functions of a one-dimensional regular diffusion is established. More precisely, any such function can be writte…

Explicit Asymptotics on First Passage Times of Diffusion Processes

Angelos Dassios, Luting Li

We introduce a unified framework for solving first passage times of time-homogeneous diffusion processes. According to the killed version potential theory and the perturbation theo…

Predicting the last zero of a spectrally negative Lévy process

Erik J. Baurdoux, J. M. Pedraza

Last passage times arise in a number of areas of applied probability, including risk theory and degradation models. Such times are obviously not stopping times since they depend on…

Stochastic Exponentials and Logarithms on Stochastic Intervals -- A Survey

Martin Larsson, Johannes Ruf

Stochastic exponentials are defined for semimartingales on stochastic intervals, and stochastic logarithms are defined for semimartingales, up to the first time the semimartingale…

Local martingales in discrete time

Vilmos Prokaj, Johannes Ruf

For any discrete-time --local martingale there exists a probability measure such that is a --martingale. A new proof for this result is provided. The core…

-player games and mean field games with absorption

Luciano Campi, Markus Fischer

We introduce a simple class of mean field games with absorbing boundary over a finite time horizon. In the corresponding -player games, the evolution of players' states is descr…

Perpetual American options in diffusion-type models with running maxima and drawdowns

Pavel V. Gapeev, Neofytos Rodosthenous

We study perpetual American option pricing problems in an extension of the Black-Merton-Scholes model in which the dividend and volatility rates of the underlying risky asset depen…

A class of globally solvable Markovian quadratic BSDE systems and applications

Hao Xing, Gordan Žitković

We establish existence and uniqueness for a wide class of Markovian systems of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) with quadratic nonlinearities. This class is charac…

The greedy independent set in a random graph with given degrees

Graham Brightwell, Svante Janson, Malwina Luczak

We analyse the size of an independent set in a random graph on vertices with specified vertex degrees, constructed via a simple greedy algorithm: order the vertices arbitrarily…

BSDEs with diffusion constraint and viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with unbounded data

Andrea Cosso, Huyên Pham, Hao Xing

We provide a stochastic representation for a general class of viscous Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations, which has convexity and superlinear nonlinearity in its gradient term, via a t…

No arbitrage and local martingale deflators

Yuri Kabanov, Constantinos Kardaras, Shiqi Song

A supermartingale deflator (resp., local martingale deflator) multiplicatively transforms nonnegative wealth processes into supermartingales (resp., local martingales). The superma…

Continuous-time perpetuities and time reversal of diffusions

Constantinos Kardaras, Scott Robertson

We consider the problem of estimating the joint distribution of a continuous-time perpetuity and the underlying factors which govern the cash flow rate, in an ergodic Markov model.…
