Abstract
In this paper, we study expected utility maximization under ratchet and drawdown constraints on consumption in a general incomplete semimartingale market using duality methods. The optimization is considered with respect to two parameters: the initial wealth and the essential lower bound on consumption process. In order to state the problem and define the primal domains, we introduce a natural extension of the notion of running maximum to arbitrary nonnegative optional processes and study its properties. The dual domains for optimization are characterized in terms of solidity with respect to an ordering that is introduced on the set of nonnegative optional processes. The abstract duality result we obtain for the optimization problem is used in order to derive a more detailed characterization of solutions in the complete market case.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
