The Stochastic Balance Equation for the American Option Value Function and its Gradient

In the paper we consider the problem of valuation and hedging of American options written on dividend-paying assets whose price dynamics follow the multidimensional diffusion model. We derive a stochastic balance equation for the American option value function and its gradient. We prove that the latter pair is the unique solution of the stochastic balance equation as a result of the uniqueness in the related adapted future-supremum problem.

Estimation of the weighted integrated square error of the Grenander estimator by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic

We consider in this paper the Grenander estimator of unbounded, in general, nonincreasing densities on the interval [0; 1] without any smoothness assumptions. For fixed number n of i.i.d. random vari- ables X1;X2; : : : ;Xn with values in [0; 1] and the nonincreasing den- sity function f(x), 0 < x < 1, we prove an inequality bounding the weighted integrated square error of the Grenander estimator with probability one by the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic. Fur- ther, we consider some interesting implications of the latter inequality
