Optional decomposition for continuous semimartingales under arbitrary filtrations

چکیده
We present an elementary treatment of the Optional Decomposition Theorem for continuous semimartingales and general filtrations. This treatment does not assume the existence of equivalent local martingale measure(s), only that of strictly positive local martingale deflator(s).

The Semimartingale Property via Bounded Logarithmic Utility
This paper provides a new condition ensuring the preservation of semimartingality under enlargement of filtrations in the setting of continuous stochastic processes. Our main tool is the concept of utility maximization from mathematical finance. Normally, this approach would require an integration theory for non-semimartingales, however, by applying an approximation procedure we show how this o...
متن کاملAnticipative Stochastic Calculus with Applications to Financial Markets
In this thesis, we study both local time and Malliavin calculus and their application to stochastic calculus and finance. In the first part, we analyze three aspects of applications of local time. We first focus on the existence of the generalized covariation process and give an approximation when it exists. Thereafter, we study the decomposition of ranked semimartingales. Lastly, we investigat...
متن کاملASYMPTOTIC ERROR FOR THE MILSTEIN SCHEME FOR SDEs DRIVEN BY CONTINUOUS SEMIMARTINGALES
A Milstein-type scheme was proposed to improve the rate of convergence of its approximation of the solution to a stochastic differential equation driven by a vector of continuous semimartingales. A necessary and sufficient condition was provided for this rate to be 1/n when the SDE is driven by a vector of continuous local martingales, or continuous semimartingales under an additional assumptio...
متن کاملOn filtrations related to purely discontinuous martingales
General martingale theory shows that every martingale can be decomposed into continuous and purely discontinuous parts. In this paper specify a filtration for which the continuous part of the decomposition is 0 a.s. for any Ft martingale. It is a well-known fact that every martingale can be decomposed into continuous and purely discontinuous parts. It is of interest to study the filtrations tha...
متن کاملNondifferentiable Functions of One Dimensional Semimartingales
In this paper we consider decompositions of processes of the form Y = f(t,Xt) where X is a one dimensional semimartingale, but f is not required to be differentiable so Ito’s formula does not apply. First, in the case where f(t, x) is independent of t, we show that requiring it to be locally Lipschitz continuous in x is enough for an Ito style decomposition to apply. This decomposes Y into a st...
