In this paper we analyse a stochastic volatility model that is an extension of the traditional Black-Scholes one. We price European options on several assets by using a superstrategy approach. We characterize the Markov superstrategies, and show that they are linked to a nonlinear PDE, called...

An investor faced with a contingent claim may eliminate risk by (super-) hedging in a financial market. As this is often quite expensive, we study partial hedges which require less capital and reduce the risk. In a previous paper we determined quantile hedges which succeed with maximal...

In a complete financial market every contingent claim can be hedged perfectly. In an incomplete market it is possible to stay on the safe side by superhedging. But such strategies may require a large amount of initial capital. Here we study the question what an investor can do who is unwilling...

This paper is devoted to giving simpler proofs of the two fundamental theorems of asset pricing theory, in iscrete-time and finite horizon: namely the no-arbitrage theorem, and the market completeness theorem. Some elementary but apparently new results are also given on discrete-time martingale...
