Stochastic Processes and Control for Jump-Diffusions∗
نویسنده
چکیده
An applied compact introductory survey of Markov stochastic processes and control in continuous time is presented. The presentation is in tutorial stages, beginning with deterministic dynamical systems for contrast and continuing on to perturbing the deterministic model with diffusions using Wiener processes. Then jump perturbations are added using simple Poisson processes constructing the theory of simple jump-diffusions. Next, marked-jump-diffusions are treated using compound Poisson processes to include random marked jump-amplitudes in parallel with the equivalent Poisson random measure formulation. Otherwise, the approach is quite applied, using basic principles with no abstractions beyond Poisson random measure. This treatment is suitable for those in classical applied mathematics, physical sciences, quantitative finance and engineering, but having trouble getting started with the abstract measuretheoretic literature. The approach here builds upon the treatment of continuous functions in the regular calculus and associated ordinary differential equations by adding non-smooth and jump discontinuities to the model. Finally, the stochastic optimal control of marked-jump-diffusions is developed, emphasizing the underlying assumptions. The survey concludes with applications in biology and finance, some of which are canonical, dimension reducible problems and others are genuine nonlinear problems.

A Useful Family of Stochastic Processes for Modeling Shape Diffusions
One of the new area of research emerging in the field of statistics is the shape analysis. Shape is defined as all the geometrical information of an object whose location, scale and orientation is not of interest. Diffusion in shape analysis can be studied via either perturbation of the key coordinates identifying the initial object or random evolution of the shape itself. Reviewing the f...
متن کاملSingular stochastic control and optimal stopping with partial information of jump diffusions
We study partial information, possibly non-Markovian, singular stochastic control of jump diffusions and obtain general maximum principles. The results are used to find connections between singular stochastic control, reflected BSDEs and optimal stopping in the partial information case.

Stochastic differential equations driven by standard Brownian motion(s) or Lévy processes are by far the most popular models in mathematical finance, but are also frequently used in engineering and science. A key feature of the class of models is that the parameters are easy to interpret for anyone working with ordinary differential equations, making connections between statistics and other sci...
