Pathwise Solutions of the 2D Stochastic Primitive Equations

In this work we consider a stochastic version of the Primitive Equations (PEs) of the ocean and the atmosphere and establish the existence and uniqueness of pathwise, strong solutions. The analysis employs novel techniques in contrast to previous works in order to handle a general class of nonlinear noise structures and to allow for physically relevant boundary conditions. The proof relies on Cauchy estimates, stopping time arguments and anisotropic estimates

Pricing and Hedging Basis Risk under No Good Deal Assumption

We consider the problem of pricing and hedging an option written on a non-exchangeable asset when trading in a correlated asset is possible. This is a typical case of incomplete market where it is well known that the super-replication concept provides generally too high prices. Here, following J.H. Cochrane and J. Saá-Requejo, we study valuation under No Good Deal (NGD) Assumption. First, we clarify the notion of NGD for dynamic strategies, compute a lower and an upper bound and prove that in fact NGD price can be strictly higher that the one previously compute in the literature. We also propose a hedging strategy by imposing criterium on the variance of the replication's error. Finally, we provide various numerical illustrations showing the efficiency of NGD pricing and hedging.No Good Deal;basis risk;mean variance hedging
