Exponential utility maximization under model uncertainty for unbounded endowments
We consider the robust exponential utility maximization problem in discrete time: An investor maximizes the worst case expected exponential utility with respect to a family of nondominated probabilistic models of her endowment by dynamically investing in a financial market, and statically in available options. We show that, for any measurable random endowment (regardless of whether the problem is finite or not) an optimal strategy exists, a dual representation in terms of (calibrated) martingale measures holds true, and that the problem satisfies the dynamic programming principle (in case of no options). Further it is shown that the value of the utility maximization problem converges to the robust superhedging price as the risk aversion parameter gets large, and examples of nondominated probabilistic models are discussed.

Robust utility maximization with nonlinear continuous semimartingales
In this paper we study a robust utility maximization problem in continuous time under model uncertainty. The model uncertainty is governed by a continuous semimartingale with uncertain local characteristics. Here, the di…

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…
Well Posedness of Utility Maximization Problems Under Partial Information in a Market with Gaussian Drift
This paper investigates well posedness of utility maximization problems for financial markets where stock returns depend on a hidden Gaussian mean reverting drift process. Since that process is potentially unbounded, wel…
