Convex Duality in Stochastic Optimization and Mathematical Finance
This paper proposes a general duality framework for the problem of minimizing a convex integral functional over a space of stochastic processes adapted to a given filtration. The framework unifies many well-known duality frameworks from operations research and mathematical finance. The unification allows the extension of some useful techniques from these two fields to a much wider class of prob...
متن کاملDuality and optimality conditions in stochastic optimization and mathematical finance
This article studies convex duality in stochastic optimization over finite discrete-time. The first part of the paper gives general conditions that yield explicit expressions for the dual objective in many applications in operations research and mathematical finance. The second part derives optimality conditions by combining general saddle-point conditions from convex duality with the dual repr...
متن کاملConvex Optimization and Lagrangian Duality
Finally the Lagranage dual function is given by g(~λ, ~ν) = inf~x L(~x,~λ, ~ν) We now make a couple of simple observations. Observation. When L(·, ~λ, ~ν) is unbounded from below then the dual takes the value −∞. Observation. g(~λ, ~ν) is concave1 as it is the infimum of a set of affine2 functions. If x is feasible solution of program (10.2)(10.4), then we have the following L(x,~λ, ~ν) = f0(x)...
متن کاملConvex Stochastic Duality and the ÔBiting LemmaÔ
The paper analyzes dynamic problems of stochastic optimization in discrete time. The problems under consideration are concerned with maximizing concave functionals on convex sets of feasible strategies (programs). Feasibility is defined in terms of linear inequality constraints in L∞ holding almost surely. The focus of the work is the existence of dual variables – stochastic Lagrange multiplier...
متن کاملStochastic programming duality: 8 multipliers for unbounded constraints with an application to mathematical finance
A new duality theory is developed for a class of stochastic programs in which the probability distribution is not necessarily discrete. This provides a new framework for problems which are not necessarily bounded, are not required to have relatively complete recourse, and do not satisfy the typical Slater condition of strict feasibility. These problems instead satisfy a different constraint qua...
