چکیده
We study the existence theory for parabolic variational inequalities in weighted L spaces with respect to excessive measures associated with a transition semigroup. We characterize the value function of optimal stopping problems for finite and infinite dimensional diffusions as a generalized solution of such a variational inequality. The weighted L setting allows us to cover some singular cases, such as optimal stopping for stochastic equations with degenerate diffusion coefficient. As an application of the theory, we consider the pricing of American-style contingent claims. Among others, we treat the cases of assets with stochastic volatility and with path-dependent payoffs.

متن کاملVariational inequalities on Hilbert $C^*$-modules
We introduce variational inequality problems on Hilbert $C^*$-modules and we prove several existence results for variational inequalities defined on closed convex sets. Then relation between variational inequalities, $C^*$-valued metric projection and fixed point theory on Hilbert $C^*$-modules is studied.
متن کاملψ-pseudomonotone generalized strong vector variational inequalities with application
In this paper, we establish an existence result of the solution for an generalized strong vector variational inequality already considered in the literature and as applications we obtain a new coincidence point theorem in Hilbert spaces.
متن کاملStrong convergence theorem for a class of multiple-sets split variational inequality problems in Hilbert spaces
In this paper, we introduce a new iterative algorithm for approximating a common solution of certain class of multiple-sets split variational inequality problems. The sequence of the proposed iterative algorithm is proved to converge strongly in Hilbert spaces. As application, we obtain some strong convergence results for some classes of multiple-sets split convex minimization problems.
متن کاملOptimal stopping of a Hilbert space valued diffusion: an infinite dimensional variational inequality∗
A finite horizon optimal stopping problem for an infinite dimensional diffusion X is analyzed by means of variational techniques. The diffusion is driven by a SDE on a Hilbert space H with a non-linear diffusion coefficient σ(X) and a generic unbounded operator A in the drift term. When the gain function Θ is time-dependent and fulfils mild regularity assumptions, the value function U of the op...
