On certain integral functionals of squared Bessel processes

Umut Çetin

Let be a squared Bessel process. Following a Feynman-Kac approach, the Laplace transforms of joint laws of are studied where is the first hit…

Hunter, Cauchy Rabbit, and Optimal Kakeya Sets

Yakov Babichenko, Yuval Peres, Ron Peretz +2

A planar set that contains a unit segment in every direction is called a Kakeya set. We relate these sets to a game of pursuit on a cycle . A hunter and a rabbit move on the…

On the Optimal Stopping of a One-dimensional Diffusion

Damien Lamberton, Mihail Zervos

We consider a one-dimensional diffusion which solves a stochastic differential equation with Borel-measurable coefficients in an open interval. We allow for the endpoints to be ina…

Predicting the time at which a Lévy process attains its ultimate supremum

Erik Baurdoux, Kees van Schaik

We consider the problem of finding a stopping time that minimises the -distance to , the time at which a Lévy process attains its ultimate supremum. This problem was studie…

On absolutely continuous compensators and nonlinear filtering equations in default risk models

Umut Çetin

We discuss the pricing of defaultable assets in an incomplete information model where the default time is given by a first hitting time of an unobservable process. We show that in…

On the characterisation of honest times that avoid all stopping times

Constantinos Kardaras

We present a short and self-contained proof of the following result: a random time is an honest time that avoids all stopping times if and only if it coincides with the (last) time…

Self-dual continuous processes

Thorsten Rheinländer, Michael Schmutz

The important application of semi-static hedging in financial markets naturally leads to the notion of quasi self-dual processes which is, for continuous semimartingales, related t…

The supermarket model with arrival rate tending to one

Graham Brightwell, Malwina Luczak

In the supermarket model, there are queues, each with a single server. Customers arrive in a Poisson process with arrival rate , where . Upon arrival, a…
