Explicit solutions to utility maximization problems in a regime-switching market model via Laplace transforms
We study the problem of utility maximization from terminal wealth in which an agent optimally builds her portfolio by investing in a bond and a risky asset. The asset price dynamics follow a diffusion process with regime-switching coefficients modeled by a continuous-time finite-state Markov chain. We consider an investor with a Constant Relative Risk Aversion (CRRA) utility function. We deduce the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation to construct the solution and the optimal trading strategy and verify optimality by showing that the value function is the unique constrained viscosity solution of the HJB equation. By means of a Laplace transform method, we show how to explicitly compute the value function and illustrate the method with the two- and three-states cases. This method is interesting in its own right and can be adapted in other applications involving hybrid systems and using other types of transforms with basic properties similar to the Laplace transform.

Robust Utility Maximization with Drift and Volatility Uncertainty
We give explicit solutions for utility maximization of terminal wealth problem $u(X_T)$ in the presence of Knightian uncertainty in continuous time $[0,T]$ in a complete market. We assume there is uncertainty on both dri…
Dynamic Convex Duality in Constrained Utility Maximization
In this paper, we study a constrained utility maximization problem following the convex duality approach. After formulating the primal and dual problems, we construct the necessary and sufficient conditions for both the …
Optimal Investment with Risk Controlled by Weighted Entropic Risk Measures
A risk measure that is consistent with the second-order stochastic dominance and additive for sums of independent random variables can be represented as a weighted entropic risk measure (WERM). The expected utility maxim…

In this study we establish connections between asymptotic functions and properties of solutions to important problems in wireless networks. We start by introducing a class of self-mappings (called asymptotic mappings) co…
