Constructing self-similar martingales via two Skorokhod embeddings
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the help of two Skorokhod embeddings, we construct martingales which enjoy the Brownian scaling property and the (inhomogeneous) Markov property. The second method necessitates randomization, but allows to reach any law with finite moment of order 1, centered, as the distribution of such a martingale at unit time. The first method does not necessitate randomization, but an additional restriction on the distribution at unit time is needed.

On the adjustment coefficient, drawdowns and Lundberg-type bounds for random walk
Consider a random walk whose (light-tailed) increments have positive mean. Lower and upper bounds are provided for the expected maximal value of the random walk until it experiences a given drawdown d. These bounds, related to the Calmar ratio in Finance, are of the form (exp{αd} − 1)/α and (K exp{αd} − 1)/α for some K > 1, in terms of the adjustment coefficient α (E[exp{−αX}] = 1) of the insur...

For the GI0GI01 queue we show that the scaled queue size converges to reflected Brownian motion in a critical queue and converges to reflected Brownian motion with drift for a sequence of subcritical queuing models that approach a critical model+ Instead of invoking the topological argument of the usual continuousmapping approach, we give a probabilistic argument using Skorokhod embeddings in B...
متن کاملOptimal Transport and Skorokhod Embedding
The Skorokhod embedding problem is to represent a given probability as the distribution of Brownian motion at a chosen stopping time. Over the last 50 years this has become one of the important classical problems in probability theory and a number of authors have constructed solutions with particular optimality properties. These constructions employ a variety of techniques ranging from excursio...
متن کاملTightness and duality of martingale transport on the Skorokhod space *
The martingale optimal transport aims to optimally transfer a probability measure to another along the class of martingales. This problem is mainly motivated by the robust superhedging of exotic derivatives in financial mathematics, which turns out to be the corresponding Kantorovich dual. In this paper we consider the continuoustime martingale transport on the Skorokhod space of càdlàg paths. ...
متن کاملA unifying class of Skorokhod embeddings: connecting the Azéma–Yor and Vallois embeddings
The Skorokhod embedding problem was first proposed, and then solved, by Skorokhod (1965), and may be described as follows. Given a Brownian motion (Bt) t>0 and a centred target law can we find a ‘small’ stopping time T such that BT has distribution ? Skorokhod gave an explicit construction of the stopping time T in terms of independent random variables, and in doing so showed that any zero-mean...
