Regularity properties in a state-constrained expected utility maximization problem
We consider a stochastic optimal control problem in a market model with temporary and permanent price impact, which is related to an expected utility maximization problem under finite fuel constraint. We establish the initial condition fulfilled by the corresponding value function and show its first regularity property. Moreover, we can prove the existence and uniqueness of optimal strategies under rather mild model assumptions. On the one hand, this result is of independent interest. On the other hand, it will then allow us to derive further regularity properties of the corresponding value function, in particular its continuity and partial differentiability. As a consequence of the continuity of the value function, we will prove the dynamic programming principle without appealing to the classical measurable selection arguments.

Viscosity properties with singularities in a state-constrained expected utility maximization problem
We consider the value function originating from an expected utility maximization problem with finite fuel constraint and show its close relation to a nonlinear parabolic degenerated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation…
An optimal investment strategy aimed at maximizing the expected utility across all intermediate capital levels
This study investigates an optimal investment problem for an insurance company operating under the Cramer-Lundberg risk model, where investments are made in both a risky asset and a risk-free asset. In contrast to other …
AllBeyond Scalar Rewards: An Axiomatic Framework for Lexicographic MDPs
Recent work has formalized the reward hypothesis through the lens of expected utility theory, by interpreting reward as utility. Hausner's foundational work showed that dropping the continuity axiom leads to a generaliza…
Portfolio Benchmarking under Drawdown Constraint and Stochastic Sharpe Ratio
We consider an investor who seeks to maximize her expected utility derived from her terminal wealth relative to the maximum performance achieved over a fixed time horizon, and under a portfolio drawdown constraint, in a …
BenchmarkingApproximation of BV functions by neural networks: A regularity theory approach
In this paper we are concerned with the approximation of functions by single hidden layer neural networks with ReLU activation functions on the unit circle. In particular, we are interested in the case when the number of…
