Published / Preprint: Generalized Gaussian Bridges. (arXiv:1205.3405v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 15 May 2012 05:32 PM PDT

A generalized bridge is the law of a stochastic process that is conditioned on linear functionals of its path. We consider two types of representations of such bridges: orthogonal and canonical. In the canonical representation the filtrations and the linear spaces generated by the bridge process and the original process coincide. In the orthogonal representation the bridge is constructed from the...

Published / Preprint: Optimal starting times, stopping times and risk measures for algorithmic trading. (arXiv:1205.3482v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 15 May 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We derive explicit recursive formulas for Target Close (TC) and Implementation Shortfall (IS) in the Almgren-Chriss framework. We explain how to compute the optimal starting and stopping times for IS and TC, respectively, given a minimum trading size. We also show how to add a minimum participation rate constraint (Percentage of Volume, PVol) for both TC and IS. We also study an alternative set...

Posted: 15 May 2012 05:32 PM PDT

This paper considers multi-dimensional affine processes with continuous sample paths. By analyzing the Riccati system, which is associated with affine processes via the transform formula, we fully characterize the regions of exponents in which exponential moments of a given process do not explode at any time or explode at a given time. In these two cases, we also compute the long-term growth rate...
