Continuous Dependence Estimates for Viscosity Solutions of Integro-pdes

چکیده
We present a general framework for deriving continuous dependence estimates for, possibly polynomially growing, viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear degenerate parabolic integro-PDEs. We use this framework to provide explicit estimates for the continuous dependence on the coefficients and the “Lévy measure” in the Bellman/Isaacs integro-PDEs arising in stochastic control/differential games. Moreover, these explicit estimates are used to prove regularity results and rates of convergence for some singular perturbation problems. Finally, we illustrate our results on some integro-PDEs arising when attempting to price European/American options in an incomplete stock market driven by a geometric Lévy process. Many of the results obtained herein are new even in the convex case where stochastic control theory provides an alternative to our pure PDE methods.

We derive and analyze monotone difference-quadrature schemes for Bellman equations of controlled Lévy (jump-diffusion) processes. These equations are fully non-linear, degenerate parabolic integro-PDEs interpreted in the sense of viscosity solutions. We propose new “direct” discretizations of the non-local part of the equation that give rise to monotone schemes capable of handling singular Lévy...

متن کاملExistence of C solutions to integro-PDEs
This paper is concerned with existence of a C viscosity solution of a second order nontranslation invariant integro-PDE. We first obtain a weak Harnack inequality for such integroPDE. We then use the weak Harnack inequality to prove Hölder regularity and existence of solutions of the integro-PDEs.
متن کاملViscosity Solutions for a System of Integro-pdes and Connections to Optimal Switching and Control of Jump-diffusion Processes
We develop a viscosity solution theory for a system of nonlinear degenerate parabolic integro-partial differential equations (IPDEs) related to stochastic optimal switching and control problems or stochastic games. In the case of stochastic optimal switching and control, we prove via dynamic programming methods that the value function is a viscosity solution of the IPDEs. In our setting the val...
متن کاملViscosity Solutions of Fully Nonlinear Parabolic Path Dependent Pdes: Part I by Ibrahim Ekren,
The main objective of this paper and the accompanying one [Viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic path dependent PDEs: Part II (2012) Preprint] is to provide a notion of viscosity solutions for fully nonlinear parabolic path-dependent PDEs. Our definition extends our previous work [Ann. Probab. (2014) 42 204–236], focused on the semilinear case, and is crucially based on the nonlinear...
