Published / Preprint: The Fundamental Theorem of Utility Maximization and Num\'eraire Portfolio. (arXiv:1211.4598v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 20 Nov 2012 05:37 PM PST

The fundamental theorem of utility maximization (called FTUM hereafter) says that the utility maximization admits solution if and only if there exists an equivalent martingale measure. This theorem is true for discrete market models (where the number of scenarios is finite), and remains valid for general discrete-time market models when the utility is smooth enough. However, this theorem fails in...

Published / Preprint: On the martingale problem for degenerate-parabolic partial differential operators with unbounded coefficients and a mimicking theorem for Ito processes. (arXiv:1211.4636v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 20 Nov 2012 05:37 PM PST

Using results from our companion article [arxiv.org:1112.4824v2] on a Schauder approach to existence of solutions to a degenerate-parabolic partial differential equation, we solve three intertwined problems, motivated by probability theory and mathematical finance, concerning degenerate diffusion processes. We show that the martingale problem associated with a degenerate-elliptic differential...

Published / Preprint: Testing the weak-form efficiency of the WTI crude oil futures market. (arXiv:1211.4686v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 20 Nov 2012 05:37 PM PST

We perform detrending moving average analysis (DMA) and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) of the WTI crude oil futures prices (1983-2012) to investigate its efficiency. We further put forward a strict statistical test in the spirit of bootstrapping to verify the weak-form market efficiency hypothesis by employing the DMA (or DFA) exponent as the statistic. We verify the weak-form efficiency of...
