Global Structure and Local Specifications in Sublinear Valuation

Jongjin Park, David Criens, Hyungbin Park

This work studies the relationships among sublinear valuation rules, uncertainty structures, and local specifications in a time-homogeneous Markovian framework with killing. These…

An -Variational Formula on Wiener Space

David Criens, Carsten Hartmann, Michael Kupper

We establish a stochastic control representation for -norms on Wiener space. For every and every non-negative universally measurable functional , we show that $$\|φ…

On the hedging problem in general 1D diffusion markets

Alexis Anagnostakis, David Criens, Mikhail Urusov

We develop a PDE-based methodology for pricing and hedging European contingent claims in general one-dimensional diffusion markets characterized solely by their scale function and…

A Small-Noise Analysis of Controlled Functional Differential Equations with Gaussian Noise

David Criens, Max Nendel

We study small-noise asymptotics for controlled functional differential equations driven by additive Gaussian noise. The Gaussian noise is modeled on an abstract Wiener space, cove…

Risk-sensitive exit-time control for stochastic differential equations with path-dependent coefficients

David Criens, Fabian Fuchs

In this work, we study small-noise asymptotics of risk-sensitive exit-time control problems governed by stochastic differential equations with path-dependent coefficients. Our main…

On the structure of increasing profits in a 1D general diffusion market with interest rates

Alexis Anagnostakis, David Criens, Mikhail Urusov

In this paper, we investigate a financial market model consisting of a risky asset, modeled as a general diffusion parameterized by a scale function and a speed measure, and a bank…

On weak notions of no-arbitrage in a 1D general diffusion market with interest rates

Alexis Anagnostakis, David Criens, Mikhail Urusov

We establish deterministic necessary and sufficient conditions for the no-arbitrage notions "no increasing profit" (NIP), "no strong arbitrage" (NSA) and "no unbounded profit with…

Representation Theorems for Convex Expectations and Semigroups on Path Space

David Criens, Michael Kupper

The objective of this paper is to investigate the connection between penalty functions from stochastic optimal control, convex semigroups from analysis and convex expectations from…

No arbitrage and the existence of ACLMMs in general diffusion models

David Criens, Mikhail Urusov

In a seminal paper, F. Delbaen and W. Schachermayer proved that the classical NA ("no arbitrage") condition implies the existence of an "absolutely continuous local martingale meas…

On the representation property for 1D general diffusion semimartingales

David Criens, Mikhail Urusov

A general diffusion semimartingale is a one-dimensional path-continuous semimartingale that is also a regular strong Markov process. We say that a continuous semimartingale has the…

Stochastic optimal control problems with measurable coefficients and -drift

David Criens

We consider controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with measurable coefficients, a uniformly elliptic diffusion coefficient and an -drift. No space-regularity wil…

Robust Market Convergence: From Discrete to Continuous Time

David Criens

Continuous time financial market models are often motivated as scaling limits of discrete time models. The objective of this paper is to establish such a connection for a robust fr…

A stochastic representation theorem for sublinear semigroups with non-local generators

David Criens, Lars Niemann

In this paper we investigate sublinear semigroups whose pointwise generators are given by non-local Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman operators. Our main result provides a stochastic represe…

Criteria for the absence of arbitrage in general diffusion markets

David Criens, Mikhail Urusov

We establish deterministic necessary and sufficient conditions for the no-arbitrage notions NA ("no arbitrage"), NUPBR ("no unbounded profit with bounded risk") and NFLVR ("no free…

A convergence theorem for Crandall-Lions viscosity solutions to path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDEs

David Criens

We establish a convergence theorem for Crandall-Lions viscosity solutions to path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDEs. Our proof is based on a novel convergence theorem for dyna…
