  2. 1. Optimal Stopping and Model Robustness in Mathematical Finance

    Author : Henrik Wanntorp; Johan Tysk; Svante Janson; Boualem Djehiche; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimal stopping; model robustness; American options; free boundary problems; hedging; option pricing; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : Optimal stopping and mathematical finance are intimately connected since the value of an American option is given as the solution to an optimal stopping problem. Such a problem can be viewed as a game in which we are trying to maximize an expected reward. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimal Sequential Decisions in Hidden-State Models

    Author : Juozas Vaicenavicius; Erik Ekström; Huyên Pham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sequential analysis; optimal stopping; optimal liquidation; drift uncertainty; incomplete information; stochastic filtering;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of five research articles on the general topic of optimal decision making under uncertainty in a Bayesian framework. The papers are preceded by three introductory chapters.Papers I and II are dedicated to the problem of finding an optimal stopping strategy to liquidate an asset with unknown drift. READ MORE

    Author : H. Jönsson; A.G. Kukush; D. Silvestrov; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : American type option; optimal stopping strategy;

    Abstract : Conditions, which provide a one-threshold structure for optimal stopping strategies for American type options, are given.... READ MORE

  6. 4. Valuation and Optimal Strategies in Markets Experiencing Shocks

    Author : Hannah Dyrssen; Erik Ekström; Damien Lamberton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; American options; optimal stopping; game options; jump diffusion; jump to default; free-boundary problems; early exercise premium; integral equation; parabolic pde; convexity; sequential testing; fixed-point approach; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis treats a range of stochastic methods with various applications, most notably in finance. It is comprised of five articles, and a summary of the key concepts and results these are built on.The first two papers consider a jump-to-default model, which is a model where some quantity, e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. Calibration, Optimality and Financial Mathematics

    Author : Bing Lu; Erik Ekström; Stephane Villeneuve; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; perpetual put option; calibration of models; piecewise constant volatility; optimal liquidation of an asset; incomplete information; optimal stopping; jump-diffusion model; optimal distribution of dividends; singular stochastic control; implied volatility; exponential Lévy models; short-time asymptotic behavior.;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of a summary and five papers, dealing with financial applications of optimal stopping, optimal control and volatility.In Paper I, we present a method to recover a time-independent piecewise constant volatility from a finite set of perpetual American put option prices.
