Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications*

In this paper we establish the existence and the uniqueness of the solution of a special class of BSDEs for Lévy processes in the case of a Lipschitz generator of sublinear growth. We then study a related problem of logarithmic utility maximization of the terminal wealth in the filtration generated by an arbitrary Lévy process.

In this paper we present some new limit theorems for power variations of stationary increment Lévy driven moving average processes. Recently, such asymptotic results have been investigated in [Ann. Probab. 45(6B) (2017), 4477–4528, Festschrift for Bernt Øksendal, Stochastics 81(1) (2017), 360–383] under the assumption that the kernel function potentially exhibits a singular behaviour at 0. The aim of this work is to demonstrate how some of the results change when the kernel function has multiple singularity points. Our paper is also related to the article [Stoch. Process. Appl. 125(2) (2014), 653–677] that studied the same mathematical question for the class of Brownian semi-stationary models.

We study the weak limits of solutions to SDEs where the sequence $\{a_{n}\}$ converges in some sense to $(c_{-}\mathbb{1}_{x<0}+c_{+}\mathbb{1}_{x>0})/x+\gamma \delta _{0}$. Here $\delta _{0}$ is the Dirac delta function concentrated at zero. A limit of $\{X_{n}\}$ may be a Bessel process, a skew Bessel process, or a mixture of Bessel processes.
