In this framework, fundamental results and techniques from risk-neutral pricing theory such as NFLVR, market completeness, and changes of measure are given an equivalent formulation and extended to models which are deformable into arbitrage-free models. We use this scheme to construct a meta-algorithm which ensures that a wide range of factor estimation schemes return arbitrage-free estimates and incorporate this additional information into their estimation procedure. We show that using our meta-algorithm we are able to produce more accurate estimates of forward-rate curves, specifically at the long-end. The spread between a model and its arbitrage-free regularization is then used to construct a mis-pricing detection or classification algorithm, which is in turn used to develop a pairs trading strategy. Our theory provides a sound theoretical foundation for a risk-neutral pricing theory capable of handling models which potentially admit arbitrage but which can which can be deformed into arbitrage-free models.","PeriodicalId":385109,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Mathematical Finance","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131567173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assume that the coefficients of the wealth equation and the recursive utility are concave. Then some interesting and important cases with nonlinear and nonsmooth coefficients satisfy our assumption. After given an equivalent backward formulation of our problem, we employ the Fenchel-Legendre transform and derive the corresponding variational formulation. By the convex duality method, the primal \"sup-inf\" problem is translated to a dual minimization problem and the saddle point of our problem is derived. Finally, we obtain the optimal terminal wealth. To illustrate our results, three cases for investors with ambiguity aversion are explicitly worked out under some special assumptions.","PeriodicalId":385109,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Mathematical Finance","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124547982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The state process consists of the storage level controlled by the storage manager and the energy price process, which is a diffusion process the drift of which is assumed to be unobservable. We apply filtering theory to find an alternative state process which is adapted to our observation filtration. For this alternative state process we derive the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and solve the optimization problem numerically. This results in a candidate for the optimal policy for which it is a-priori not clear whether the controlled state process exists. Hence, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for a class of time-inhomogeneous stochastic differential equations with discontinuous drift and singular diffusion coefficient. Finally, we apply our result to prove admissibility of the candidate optimal control.","PeriodicalId":385109,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Mathematical Finance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132138416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
