We work on a Brownian motion framework and the stopping times are adapted to the Brownian filtration. Robustness can only be achieved for logartihmic utility, otherwise a cashflow should be added to the investor s wealth. The cashflow can be decomposed into the sum of an increasing and a decreasing process. The last one can be viewed as consumption. The first one is an insurance premium the agent has to pay.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-02-24T04:57:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "robust utility maximization", "brownian motion framework", "stopping times", "brownian filtration", "incomplete markets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007math......2727P" } } }
