We prove a law of the iterated logarithm that holds for all bounded progressively measurable $b$ and give additional results under continuity assumptions on $b$. As an application, we discuss a stochastic control problem that arises in the study of the super-replication of a contingent claim under gamma constraints.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-02-21T10:40:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G17", "60H05", "60H30", "91B28" ], "keywords": [ "small time path behavior", "double stochastic integrals", "stochastic control", "progressively measurable stochastic process", "application" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......2453C" } } }
