چکیده

We study the uniqueness of viscosity solutions of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation which arises in a portfolio optimization problem in which an investor maximizes expected utility of terminal wealth in the presence of proportional transaction costs. Our main contribution is that the comparison theorem can be applied to prove the uniqueness of the value function in the portfolio optimization problem for logarithmic and power utility.

Uniqueness of Constrained Viscosity Solutions in Hybrid Control Systems

We study constrained viscosity solutions with an unbounded growth for a class of first order Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations arising in hybrid control systems. To deal with the boundary constraint and rapid growth of the solutions, we construct a particular set of test functions and under very mild conditions establish a comparison theorem which gives the estimate of distance between the subs...

Degenerate Stochastic Control Problems with ExponentialCosts and Weakly Coupled Dynamics: Viscosity Solutions and a Maximum Principle

This paper considers a class of optimization problems arising in wireless communication systems. We analyze the optimal control and the associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equations. It turns out that the value function is a unique viscosity solution of the HJB equation in a certain function class. To deal with the fast growth condition of the value function in establishing uniqueness, we ...

Portfolio Optimization under Transaction Costs in the Crr Model Portfolio Optimization under Transaction Costs in the Crr Model

In the CRR model we introduce a transaction cost structure which covers piecewise proportional, fixed and constant costs. For a general utility function we formulate the problem of maximizing the expected utility of terminal wealth as a Markov control problem. An existence result is given and optimal strategies can be described by solutions of the dynamic programming equation. For logarithmic u...

Optimal Securitization of Credit Portfolios via Impulse Control

We study the optimal loan securitization policy of a commercial bank which is mainly engaged in lending activities. For this we propose a stylized dynamic model which contains the main features affecting the securitization decision. In line with reality we assume that there are non-negligible fixed and variable transaction costs associated with each securitization. The fixed transaction costs l...

Consumption-investment problem with transaction costs for Lévy-driven price processes

We consider an optimal control problem of linear stochastic integro-differential equation with conic constraints on the phase variable and the control of singular-regular type. Our setting includes consumption-investment problems for models of financial markets in the presence of proportional transaction costs where that the prices are geometric Lévy processes and the investor is allowed to tak...
