A Quasilinear Parabolic Equation with Quadratic Growth of the Gradient modeling Incomplete Financial Markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a quasilinear parabolic equation with quadratic gradient terms. It arises in the modelling of an optimal portfolio which maximizes the expected utility from terminal wealth in incomplete markets consisting of risky assets and non-tradable state variables. The existence of solutions is shown by extending the monotonicity method of Frehse. Furthermore, we prove the uniqueness of weak solutions under a smallness condition on the derivatives of the covariance matrices with respect to the solution. The influence of the non-tradable state variables on the optimal value function is illustrated by a numerical example.

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to a Degenerate Quasilinear Parabolic Equation with a Gradient Term
This article concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem of a degenerate quasilinear parabolic equations with a gradient term. A blow-up theorem of Fujita type is established and the critical Fujita exponent is formulated by the spacial dimension and the behavior of the coefficient of the gradient term at ∞.
متن کاملGlobal and blow-up solutions for quasilinear parabolic equations with a gradient term and nonlinear boundary flux
This work is concerned with positive classical solutions for a quasilinear parabolic equation with a gradient term and nonlinear boundary flux. We find sufficient conditions for the existence of global and blow-up solutions. Moreover, an upper bound for the ‘blow-up time’, an upper estimate of the ‘blow-up rate’ and an upper estimate of the global solution are given. Finally, some application e...

متن کاملA free boundary problem modeling electrostatic MEMS: II. nonlinear bending effects
Well-posedness of a free boundary problem for electrostatic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is investigated when nonlinear bending effects are taken into account. The model describes the evolution of the deflection of an electrically conductive elastic membrane suspended above a fixed ground plate together with the electrostatic potential in the free domain between the membrane and the fi...
