From minimal embeddings to minimal diffusions

Alexander M. G. Cox, Martin Klimmek

There is a natural connection between the class of diffusions, and a certain class of solutions to the Skorokhod Embedding Problem (SEP). We show that the important concept of mini…

Robust price bounds for the forward starting straddle

David Hobson, Martin Klimmek

In this article we consider the problem of giving a robust, model-independent, lower bound on the price of a forward starting straddle with payoff where $0<T_…

math.PR2013

Parameter dependent optimal thresholds, indifference levels and inverse optimal stopping problems

Martin Klimmek

Consider the classic infinite-horizon problem of stopping a one-dimensional diffusion to optimise between running and terminal rewards and suppose we are given a parametrised famil…

The Wronskian parameterizes the class of diffusions with a given distribution at a random time

Martin Klimmek

We provide a complete characterization of the class of one-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusions consistent with a given law at an exponentially distributed time using classical…

Model independent hedging strategies for variance swaps

David Hobson, Martin Klimmek

A variance swap is a derivative with a path-dependent payoff which allows investors to take positions on the future variability of an asset. In the idealised setting of a continuou…

Maximizing functionals of the maximum in the Skorokhod embedding problem and an application to variance swaps

David Hobson, Martin Klimmek

The Azéma-Yor solution (resp., the Perkins solution) of the Skorokhod embedding problem has the property that it maximizes (resp., minimizes) the law of the maximum of the stopped…
