This is the final improvement of previous results by Duffie, Filipovic and Schachermayer (2003), Mayerhofer, Muhle-Karbe and Smirnov (2011) and Keller-Ressel and Mayerhofer (2015) for processes on canonical state spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-09T09:30:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "affine markov processes", "esscher transform", "generalized riccati differential equations", "affine processes", "affine models" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
