For a market impact model, price manipulation and related notions play a role that is similar to the role of arbitrage in a derivatives pricing model. Here, we give a systematic investigation into such regularity issues when orders can be executed both at a traditional exchange and in a dark...

The viability of a market impact model is usually considered to be equivalent to the absence of price manipulation strategies in the sense of Huberman & Stanzl (2004). By analyzing a model with linear instantaneous, transient, and permanent impact components, we discover a new class of...

We continue the analysis of optimal execution strategies in the model for a limit order book with nonlinear price impact and exponential resilience that was considered in Alfonsi, Schied, and Fruth (2009). We now allow for non-homogeneous resilience rates and arbitrary trading dates and consider...

We consider optimal execution strategies for block market orders placed in a limit order book (LOB). We build on the resilience model proposed by Obizhaeva and Wang (2005) but allow for a general shape of the LOB defined via a given density function. Thus, we can allow for empirically observed...

We give a singular control approach to the problem of minimizing an energy functional for measures with given total mass on a compact real interval, when energy is defined in terms of a completely monotone kernel. This problem occurs both in potential theory and when looking for optimal...

We introduce a market impact model for stochastic linear transient impact, extending the model of Gatheral (2010) with the possibility of randomly fluctuating liquidity. We discuss regularity conditions for market impact models, i.e. properties of optimal liquidation strategies in these models....

In this paper, we investigate the generalization of the Call-Put duality equality obtained in Alfonsi and Jourdain for perpetual American options when the Call-Put payoff (y - x) is replaced by ϕ(x,y). It turns out that the duality still holds under monotonicity and concavity assumptions on ϕ....
