The assumption of (weak) stationarity is crucial for the validity of most of the conventional tests of structure change in time series. Under complicated nonstationary temporal dynamics, we argue that traditional testing procedures result in mixed structural change signals of the first and...

We consider controller-stopper problems in which the controlled processes can have jumps. The global filtration is represented by the Brownian filtration, enlarged by the filtration generated by the jump process. We assume that there exists a conditional probability density function for the jump...

On a filtered probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P,\mathbb{F}=(\mathcal{F}_t)_{t=0,\dotso,T})$, we consider stopper-stopper games $\overline V:=\inf_{\Rho\in\bT^{ii}}\sup_{\tau\in\T}\E[U(\Rho(\tau),\tau)]$ and $\underline V:=\sup_{\Tau\in\bT^i}\inf_{\rho\in\T}\E[U(\Rho(\tau),\tau)]$ in...

We consider a financial model where stocks are available for dynamic trading, and European and American options are available for static trading (semi-static trading strategies). We assume that the American options are infinitely divisible, and can only be bought but not sold. We first get the...

We consider a zero-sum optimal stopping game in which the value of the reward is revealed when the second player stops, instead of it being revealed after the first player's stopping time. Such problems appear in the context of financial mathematics when one sells and buys two different American...

We consider the optimal problem $\sup_{\tau\in\mathcal{T}_{\eps,T}}\mathbb{E}\left[\sum_{i=1}^n \phi_{(\tau-\eps^i)^ }^i\right]$, where $T0$ is a fixed time horizon, $(\phi_t^i)_{0\leq t\leq T}$ is progressively measurable with respect to the Brownian filtration, $\eps^i\in[0,T]$ is a constant,...
