We consider the regularity of sample paths of Volterra–Lévy processes. These processes are defined as stochastic integrals M(t)=∫0tF(t,r)dX(r),t∈R+, where X is a Lévy process and F is a deterministic real-valued function. We derive the spectrum of singularities and a result on the...

Abstract We apply a suitable modification of the functional delta method to statistical functionals that arise from law-invariant coherent risk measures. To this end we establish differentiability of the statistical functional in a relaxed Hadamard sense, namely with respect to a suitably chosen...

Summary Robust utility functionals arise as numerical representations of investor preferences, when the investor is uncertain about the underlying probabilistic model and averse against both risk and model uncertainty. In this paper, we study the duality theory for the problem of maximizing the...

SUMMARY We give an explicit PDE characterization for the solution of a robust utility maximization problem in an incomplete market model, whose volatility, interest rate process, and long-term trend are driven by an external stochastic factor process. The robust utility functional is defined in...

We give a complete solution to the problem of minimizing the expected liquidity costs in the presence of a general drift when the underlying market impact model has linear transient price impact with exponential resilience. It turns out that this problem is well-posed only if the drift is...
