We study stochastic optimal control problems of finance and economics in a Markov regime-switching jump-diffusion market with and without delay component in the dynamics of our model. We formulate portfolio optimization problems as a two player zero-sum and a two player nonzero-sum stochastic differential games. We provide an extension of Dynkin formula to present the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equations in such a more general setting. We illustrate our results for a nonzero-sum stochastic differential game and investigate the impact of regime-switches by comparative statics of a two state Markov regime-switching jump-diffusion model. We prove the existence-uniqueness theorems for a stochastic differential delay equation with jumps and regimes (SDDEJR) and for an anticipated backward stochastic differential equation with jumps and regimes (ABSDEJR). Furthermore, we give the duality between an SDDEJR and an ABSDEJR. We establish necessary and sufficient maximum principles under full and partial information for an SDDEJR. We show that the adjoint equations are represented by an ABSDEJR. We apply our results to a problem of optimal consumption problem from a cash flow with delay and regimes.

Two studies on backward stochastic differential equations Tunç, Vildan; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012) Backward stochastic differential equations appear in many areas of research including mathematical finance, nonlinear partial differential equations, financial economics and stochastic control. The first existence and uniqueness result for nonlinear backward stochastic differential equations was given by Pardoux and Peng (Adapted solution of a backward stochastic differential equation. System and Control Letters, 1990). They looked for an adapted pair of processes {x(t); y(t)}; t is in [0; 1]} with values i...
A Stochastic Maximum Principle for a Markov Regime-Switching Jump-Diffusion Model with Delay and an Application to Finance Savku, Emel; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2018-11-01) We study a stochastic optimal control problem for a delayed Markov regime-switching jump-diffusion model. We establish necessary and sufficient maximum principles under full and partial information for such a system. We prove the existence-uniqueness theorem for the adjoint equations, which are represented by an anticipated backward stochastic differential equation with jumps and regimes. We illustrate our results by a problem of optimal consumption problem from a cash flow with delay and regimes.
Optimal Limit Order Book Trading Strategies with Stochastic Volatility in the Underlying Asset Aydoğan, Burcu; Uğur, Ömür; Aksoy, Ümit (2022-1-01) In quantitative finance, there have been numerous new aspects and developments related with the stochastic control and optimization problems which handle the controlled variables of performing the behavior of a dynamical system to achieve certain objectives. In this paper, we address the optimal trading strategies via price impact models using Heston stochastic volatility framework including jump processes either in price or in volatility of the price dynamics with the aim of maximizing expected return of t...
Stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate model with jump and its application on General Electric data Celep, Betül; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2011) In this thesis, we present two different approaches for the stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate model with jump and analyze the performance of four alternative models. In the first approach, suggested by Scott, the closed form solution for prices on European call stock options are developed by deriving characteristic functions with the help of martingale methods. Here, we study the asset price process and give in detail the derivation of the European call option price process. The second appr...
Advances and applications of stochastic Ito-Taylor approximation and change of time method in the financial sector Öz, Hacer; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Financial Mathematics (2013) In this thesis, we discuss two different approaches for the solution of stochastic differential equations (SDEs): Ito-Taylor method (IT-M) and change of time method (CT-M). First approach is an approximation in space-domain and the second one is a probabilistic transformation in time-domain. Both approaches may be considered to substitute SDEs for more “practical” representations and solutions. IT-M was most studied for one-dimensional SDEs. The main aim of this work is to extend the theory of one-dimension...
