Mild Solutions of Neutral Semilinear Stochastic Functional Dynamic Systems with Local Non-Lipschitz Coefficients by Feng Jiang

“…In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to neutral semilinear stochastic functional dynamic systems under local non-Lipschitz conditions on the coefficients by means of the stopping time technique. We especially generalize and improve the results that appeared in Govinadan (2005), Bao and Hou (2010), and Jiang and Shen (2011).…”

The Dynamic Spread of the Forward CDS with General Random Loss by Kun Tian, Dewen Xiong, Zhongxing Ye

“…Let G={Gt;t≥0} be the progressive enlargement of F by (τ~,L); that is, G is the smallest filtration including F such that τ~ is a G-stopping time and L is Gτ~-measurable. We mainly consider the forward CDS with loss in the framework of stochastic interest rates whose term structures are modeled by the Heath-Jarrow-Morton approach with jumps under the general conditional density hypothesis. …”

Optimal Selling Strategies under Regime-Switching Market Environment with Finite Expiry by Jie Xing, Taoshun He

“…This paper addresses an optimal stock liquidation problem over a finite-time horizon; to that end, we model it as an optimal stopping problem in a regime-switching market. The optimal stopping time is written as a solution to a system of Volterra type integral equations. …”

An Analysis of Asymptotic Properties and Error Control under the Exponential Jump-Diffusion Model for American Option Pricing by Mohamed Maidoumi, Boubker Daafi, Mehdi Zahid

“…Our work is aimed at modeling the American option price by combining the dynamic programming and the optimal stopping time under two asset price models. In doing so, we attempt to control the theoretical error and illustrate the asymptotic characteristics of each model; thus, using a numerical illustration of the convergence of the option price to an equilibrium price, we can notice its behavior when the number of paths tends to be a large number; therefore, we construct a simple estimator on each slice of the number of paths according to an upper and lower bound to control our error. …”
