Viscosity Solutions to Optimal Portfolio AllocationProblems in Models with Random Time Changes andTransaction Costs

We consider a risky asset whose instantaneous rate of returntakes two dierent values and changes from one to the other one at randomtimes which are neither known, nor directly observable. We study the optimalallocation strategy of traders who, in the presence of cost of transactions, investin this risky asset or in a non risky asset according to their belief on the currentstate of the instantaneous rate of return.[...]
