This paper discusses a mean–variance portfolio selection problem under a constant elasticity of variance model. A backward stochastic Riccati equation is first considered. Then we relate the solution of the associated stochastic control problem to that of the backward stochastic Riccati equation. Finally, explicit expressions of the optimal portfolio strategy, the value function and the efficient frontier of the mean–variance problem are expressed in terms of the solution of the backward stochastic Riccati equation. 相似文献

It is often asserted that the application of mean–variance analysis assumes normal (Gaussian) return distributions or quadratic utility functions. This common mistake confuses sufficient versus necessary conditions for the applicability of modern portfolio theory. If one believes (as does the author) that choice should be guided by the expected utility maxim, then the necessary and sufficient condition for the practical use of mean–variance analysis is that a careful choice from a mean–variance efficient frontier will approximately maximize expected utility for a wide variety of concave (risk-averse) utility functions. This paper reviews a half-century of research on mean–variance approximations to expected utility. The many studies in this field have been generally supportive of mean–variance analysis, subject to certain (initially unanticipated) caveats. 相似文献

The efficient modeling of execution price path of an asset to be traded is an important aspect of the optimal trading problem. In this paper an execution price path based on the second order autoregressive process is proposed. The proposed price path is a generalization of the existing first order autoregressive price path in literature. Using dynamic programming method the analytical closed form solution of unconstrained optimal trading problem under the second order autoregressive process is derived. However in order to incorporate non-negativity constraints in the problem formulation, the optimal static trading problems under second order autoregressive price process are formulated. For a risk neutral investor, the optimal static trading problem of minimizing expected execution cost subject to non-negativity constraints is formulated as a quadratic programming problem. Whereas, for a risk averse investor the variance of execution cost is considered as a measure for the timing risk, and the mean–variance problem is formulated. Moreover, the optimal static trading problem subject to stochastic dominance constraints with mean–variance static trading strategy as the reference strategy is studied. Using Static approximation method the algorithm to solve proposed optimal static trading problems is presented. With numerical illustrations conducted on simulated data and the real market data, the significance of second order autoregressive price path, and the optimal static trading problems is presented. 相似文献

In this paper, we obtain Morse–Bott inequalities in the presence of a compact Lie group action via Bismut–Lebeauʼs analytic localization techniques. As an application, we obtain Morse–Bott inequalities on compact manifold with nonempty boundary by applying the generalized Morse–Bott inequalities to the doubling manifold. 相似文献

In this model we discuss the bioeconomic harvesting of a prey–predator fishery in which both the species are infected by some toxicants released by some other species. Here both the species are harvested where we use the usual catch-per-unit-effort hypothesis. The dynamical behaviour of the exploited system is examined. The possibility of existence of a bionomic equilibrium is considered. The optimal harvesting policy is studied by using Pontryagin’s maximal principle. Some numerical examples and the corresponding solution curves are studied to illustrate the results of the model. Finally, the existence of limit cycle is discussed. 相似文献

This paper deals with a mean–variance optimal portfolio selection problem in presence of risky assets characterized by low-frequency trading and, therefore, low liquidity. To model the dynamics of illiquid assets, we introduce pure-jump processes. This leads to the development of a portfolio selection model in a mixed discrete/continuous time setting. We pursue the twofold scope of analyzing and comparing either long-term investment strategies as well as short-term trading rules. The theoretical model is analyzed by applying extensive Monte Carlo experiments, in order to provide useful insights from a financial perspective. 相似文献

We consider the problem of a body moving within an incompressible fluid at constant speed parallel to a wall, in an otherwise unbounded domain. This situation is modeled by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in an exterior domain in a half space, with appropriate boundary conditions on the wall, the body, and at infinity. Here, we prove existence of stationary solutions for this problem for the simplified situation where the body is replaced by a source term of compact support. 相似文献

In this paper, we further study the forward–backward envelope first introduced in Patrinos and Bemporad (Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, pp 2358–2363, 2013) and Stella et al. (Comput Optim Appl, doi: 10.1007/s10589-017-9912-y, 2017) for problems whose objective is the sum of a proper closed convex function and a twice continuously differentiable possibly nonconvex function with Lipschitz continuous gradient. We derive sufficient conditions on the original problem for the corresponding forward–backward envelope to be a level-bounded and Kurdyka–?ojasiewicz function with an exponent of \(\frac{1}{2}\); these results are important for the efficient minimization of the forward–backward envelope by classical optimization algorithms. In addition, we demonstrate how to minimize some difference-of-convex regularized least squares problems by minimizing a suitably constructed forward–backward envelope. Our preliminary numerical results on randomly generated instances of large-scale \(\ell _{1-2}\) regularized least squares problems (Yin et al. in SIAM J Sci Comput 37:A536–A563, 2015) illustrate that an implementation of this approach with a limited-memory BFGS scheme usually outperforms standard first-order methods such as the nonmonotone proximal gradient method in Wright et al. (IEEE Trans Signal Process 57:2479–2493, 2009). 相似文献

We consider a linear stochastic differential equation with stochastic drift. We study the problem of approximating the solution of such equation through an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck type process, by using direct methods of calculus of variations. We show that general power cost functionals satisfy the conditions for existence and uniqueness of the approximation. We provide some examples of general interest and we give bounds on the goodness of the corresponding approximations. Finally, we focus on a model of a neuron embedded in a simple network and we study the approximation of its activity, by exploiting the aforementioned results. 相似文献

We are interested in computing the Fermi–Dirac matrix function in which the matrix argument is the Hamiltonian matrix arising
from density functional theory (DFT) applications. More precisely, we are really interested in the diagonal of this matrix
function. We discuss rational approximation methods to the problem, specifically the rational Chebyshev approximation and
the continued fraction representation. These schemes are further decomposed into their partial fraction expansions, leading
ultimately to computing the diagonal of the inverse of a shifted matrix over a series of shifts. We describe Lanczos and sparse
direct methods to address these systems. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages that are illustrated with experiments. 相似文献

In this paper we study the problem of simultaneous minimization of risks, and maximization of the terminal value of expected funds assets in a stochastic defined benefit aggregated pension plan. The risks considered are the solvency risk, measured as the variance of the terminal fund’s level, and the contribution risk, in the form of a running cost associated to deviations from the evolution of the stochastic normal cost. The problem is formulated as a bi-objective stochastic problem of mean–variance and it is solved with dynamic programming techniques. We find the efficient frontier and we show that the optimal portfolio depends linearly on the supplementary cost of the fund, plus an additional term due to the random evolution of benefits. 相似文献

Based on a previously introduced downscaling data assimilation algorithm, which employs a nudging term to synchronize the coarse mesh spatial scales, we construct a determining map for recovering the full trajectories from their corresponding coarse mesh spatial trajectories, and investigate its properties. This map is then used to develop a downscaling data assimilation scheme for statistical solutions of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations, where the coarse mesh spatial statistics of the system is obtained from discrete spatial measurements. As a corollary, we deduce that statistical solutions for the Navier–Stokes equations are determined by their coarse mesh spatial distributions. Notably, we present our results in the context of the Navier–Stokes equations; however, the tools are general enough to be implemented for other dissipative evolution equations. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider expected value, variance and worst–case optimization of nonlinear models. We present algorithms
for computing optimal expected value, and variance policies, based on iterative Taylor expansions. We establish convergence
and consider the relative merits of policies based on expected value optimization and worst–case robustness. The latter is
a minimax strategy and ensures optimal cover in view of the worst–case scenario(s) while the former is optimal expected performance
in a stochastic setting.
Both approaches are used with a small macroeconomic model to illustrate relative performance, robustness and trade-offs between
the alternative policies. 相似文献

We study a second-order elliptic equation for which the Dirichlet problem can be posed in a nonunique way due to the so-called Lavrentiev phenomenon. In the corresponding weighted Sobolev space smooth functions are not dense, which leads to the existence of W – solutions and H – solutions. For H - solutions, we establish the Hölder continuity. We also discuss this question for W – solutions, for which the situation is more complicated. 相似文献

Robust equilibrium reinsurance-investment strategy for a mean–variance insurer in a model with jumps
This paper analyzes the equilibrium strategy of a robust optimal reinsurance-investment problem under the mean–variance criterion in a model with jumps for an ambiguity-averse insurer (AAI) who worries about model uncertainty. The AAI’s surplus process is assumed to follow the classical Cramér–Lundberg model, and the AAI is allowed to purchase proportional reinsurance or acquire new business and invest in a financial market to manage her risk. The financial market consists of a risk-free asset and a risky asset whose price process is described by a jump-diffusion model. By applying stochastic control theory, we establish the corresponding extended Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) system of equations. Furthermore, we derive both the robust equilibrium reinsurance-investment strategy and the corresponding equilibrium value function by solving the extended HJB system of equations. In addition, some special cases of our model are provided, which show that our model and results extend some existing ones in the literature. Finally, the economic implications of our findings are illustrated, and utility losses from ignoring model uncertainty, jump risks and prohibiting reinsurance are analyzed using numerical examples. 相似文献

The Yule–Simon distribution is usually employed in the analysis of frequency data. As the Bayesian literature, so far, has ignored this distribution, here we show the derivation of two objective priors for the parameter of the Yule–Simon distribution. In particular, we discuss the Jeffreys prior and a loss-based prior, which has recently appeared in the literature. We illustrate the performance of the derived priors through a simulation study and the analysis of real datasets. 相似文献
