There is no fixed model for the price of the stock but we consider a set of probability measures (models) which are not necessarily dominated by a fixed probability measure. By assuming that the set of physical probability measures is convex and weakly compact, we obtain the duality result and the existence of an optimizer.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-18T01:54:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "model uncertainty", "derivatives", "robust utility maximization", "duality result", "fixed probability measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.4813B" } } }
