This paper addresses how asymmetric information, fads and Lévy jumps in the price of an asset affect the optimal portfolio strategies and maximum expected utilities of two distinct classes of rational investors in a financial market. We obtain the investors’ optimal portfolios and maximum...

We solve an agent's optimization problem of meeting demands for cash over time with cash deposited in bank or invested in stock. The stock pays dividends and uncertain capital gains, and a commission is incurred in buying and selling of stock. We use a stochastic maximum principle to obtain...

We consider optimal consumption and portfolio investment problems of an investor who is interested in maximizing his utilities from consumption and terminal wealth subject to a random inflation in the consumption basket price over time. We consider two cases: (i) when the investor observes the...

We study a discontinuous mispricing model of a risky asset under asymmetric information where jumps in the asset price and mispricing are modelled by Lévy processes. By contracting the filtration of the informed investor, we obtain optimal portfolios and maximum expected utilities for the...

We study the problem of parameter estimation for discretely observed stochastic processes driven by additive small Lévy noises. We do not impose any moment condition on the driving Lévy process. Under certain regularity conditions on the drift function, we obtain consistency and rate of...

We study the problem of parameter estimation for generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with small Lévy noises, observed at n regularly spaced time points on [0, 1]. Least squares method is used to obtain an estimator of the drift parameter. The consistency and the rate of convergence of the...

In this paper, we give a direct derivation of the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai filtering equation, without assuming right continuity of the signal, nor its filtration, and without the usual finite energy condition. As a consequence, the Fujisaki-Kallianpur-Kunita equation is also derived. Our results...

We study the problem of parameter estimation for generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by [alpha]-stable noises, observed at discrete time instants. Least squares method is used to obtain an asymptotically consistent estimator. The strong consistency and the rate of convergence of the...

Herein, we consider direct Markov chain approximations to the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai equations for nonlinear filtering problems on regular, bounded domains. For clarity of presentation, we restrict our attention to reflecting diffusion signals with symmetrizable generators. Our Markov chains are...
