  • tightness and duality of Martingale transport on the skorokhod space
    Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2017
    Co-Authors: Gaoyue Guo, Xiaolu Tan, Nizar Touzi
    Abstract:

    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 continuous-time Martingale transport on the Skorokhod space of c`adi ag paths. Similar to the classical setting of optimal transport, we introduce different dual problems and establish the corresponding dualities by a crucial use of the S−topology and the dynamic programming principle 1 .

  • optimal skorokhod embedding given full marginals and azema yor peacocks
    Annals of Applied Probability, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sigrid Kallblad, Xiaolu Tan, Nizar Touzi
    Abstract:

    We consider the optimal Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) given full marginals over the time interval $[0,1]$. The problem is related to the study of extremal Martingales associated with a peacock (“process increasing in convex order,” by Hirsch, Profeta, Roynette and Yor [Peacocks and Associated Martingales, with Explicit Constructions (2011), Springer, Milan]). A general duality result is obtained by convergence techniques. We then study the case where the reward function depends on the maximum of the embedding process, which is the limit of the Martingale transport problem studied in Henry-Labordere, Obloj, Spoida and Touzi [Ann. Appl. Probab. 26 (2016) 1–44]. Under technical conditions, we then characterize the optimal value and the solution to the dual problem. In particular, the optimal embedding corresponds to the Madan and Yor [Bernoulli 8 (2002) 509–536] peacock under their “increasing mean residual value” condition. We also discuss the associated Martingale inequality.

  • Martingale representation theorem for the g expectation
    Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2011
    Co-Authors: Mete H Soner, Nizar Touzi, Jianfeng Zhang
    Abstract:

    This paper considers the nonlinear theory of G-Martingales as introduced by Peng (2007) in [16,17]. A Martingale representation theorem for this theory is proved by using the techniques and the results established in Soner et al. (2009) [20] for the second-order stochastic target problems and the second-order backward stochastic differential equations. In particular, this representation provides a hedging strategy in a market with an uncertain volatility.

  • pac bayesian inequalities for Martingales
    IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2012
    Co-Authors: Yevgeny Seldin, Francois Laviolette, Nicolo Cesabianchi, John Shawetaylor, Peter Auer
    Abstract:

    We present a set of high-probability inequalities that control the concentration of weighted averages of multiple (possibly uncountably many) simultaneously evolving and interdependent Martingales. Our results extend the PAC-Bayesian (probably approximately correct) analysis in learning theory from the i.i.d. setting to Martingales opening the way for its application to importance weighted sampling, reinforcement learning, and other interactive learning domains, as well as many other domains in probability theory and statistics, where Martingales are encountered. We also present a comparison inequality that bounds the expectation of a convex function of a Martingale difference sequence shifted to the [0, 1] interval by the expectation of the same function of independent Bernoulli random variables. This inequality is applied to derive a tighter analog of Hoeffding-Azuma's inequality.
