This thesis is concerned with the modelling and algorithmic development of a Stopping Rule Problem (SRP) in the area of Portfolio Management. More specifically, the objective is to provide an exit strategy for an invested portfolio containing one or more assets. The exit strategy aims to protect gains in addition to limiting losses. The thesis focuses on the investment/disinvestment in the portfolio and is not concerned with the composition of the portfolio. A new Finite Horizon SRP, referred to as the Portfolio Management Problem (PMP), has been proposed that allows future scenarios to be con

Abstract:
Particle smoothing is useful for offline state inference and parameter learning in nonlinear/non-Gaussian state-space models. However, many particle smoothers, such as the popular forward filter/backward simulator (FFBS), are plagued by a quadratic computational complexity in the number of particles. One approach to tackle this issue is to use rejection-sampling-based FFBS (RS-FFBS), which asymptotically reaches linear complexity. In practice, however, the constants can be quite large and the actual gain in computational time limited. In this contribution, we develop a hybrid method, governed

Abstract:
The increasing importance of gossip algorithms is beyond dispute. Randomized gossip algorithms are attractive for collaborative in-network processing and aggregation because they are fully asynchronous, they require no overhead to establish and form routes, and they do not create any bottleneck or single point of failure. All nodes maintain independent asynchronous random clocks, and when a node's clock ticks it initiates a new round of gossip: it randomly selects a neighboring node, exchanges information with the neighbor, and the two nodes compute local updates.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the pricing of American-type contingent claims. First, the explicit solutions to the perpetual American compound option pricing problems in the Black-Merton-Scholes model for financial markets are presented. Compound options are financial contracts which give their holders the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell some other options at certain times in the future by the strike prices given. The method of proof is based on the reduction of the initial two-step optimal stopping problems for the underlying geometric Brownian motion to appropriate sequences of

This thesis considers several optimal stopping problems motivated by mathematical fi- nance, using the so-called martingale and Markov approaches for optimal stopping prob- lems. We first extend the pricing problem for American options under geometric Brownian motion models to a wider range of payoff functions and, by adding a continuous-time Markov chain to the dynamic, to a regime-switching model. We then allow the time horizon during which the underlying process evolves to be a random variable. This is further adapted to a regime-switching Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model with application to pricin

This thesis is concerned with two explicitly solvable stochastic control problems that incorporate discretionary stopping. The first of these problems combines the features of the so-called monotone follower of singular stochastic control theory with optimal stop- ping. The uncontrolled state dynamics are modelled by a general one-dimensional It^o diffusion. The aim of the problem is to maximise the utility derived from the system's controlled state at the discretionary time when the system's control is terminated. This objective is re ected by an appropriate performance criterion, which also

The rise in piracy throughout the world in recent years has forced the international community to invest heavily in measures to counter the threat. However, these efforts have had little effect. Lately, the trends in Southeast Asia seem to have turned. In order to counter piracy efficiently, it is critical to fully understand the background and root causes for the phenomenon. Piracy is blamed by some on poverty, relative deprivation, and the lack of local institutions.

A cornerstone in the theory of optimal stopping for the maximum process is a result known as Peskir’s maximality principle.

In this thesis we adapt Peskir’s maximality principle to allow for X a spectrally negative L´evy processes, thereby providing a general method to approach optimal stopping problems for the maximum process driven by spectrally negative L´evy processes.

Novel event-triggered sensing and actuation strategies are presented for networked control systems with limited communication resources. Two architectures are considered: one with the controller co-located with the sensor and one with the control co-located with the actuator. A stochastic control problem with an optimal stopping rule is shown to capture two interesting instances of these architectures. The solution of the problem leads to a parametrization of the control alphabet as piecewise constant commands. The execution of the control commands is triggered by stopping rules for the sensor

This class of "weighted discount functions" admits a natural notion of group diversity, which has consequences for behavior. We show that more diverse groups discount less heavily and make more patient decisions. Within a real options framework, for example, greater group diversity leads to delayed investment.
