New Framework for Stochastic Optimal Control and Option Pricing

This paper delves into the theoretical underpinnings of stochastic optimal control in discrete time, proposing a novel dynamic programming framework. It introduces methods for estimating the value function using nonparametric regression within reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and Monte Carlo subsampling. The research focuses on analyzing how errors propagate backward through time, a less-explored area in the field, and demonstrates its application to pricing American options. AI

IMPACT Introduces novel methods for value function estimation in stochastic control, potentially impacting AI applications in finance and decision-making under uncertainty.

    Error Propagation in Dynamic Programming: From Stochastic Control to American Option Pricing

    arXiv:2509.20239v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper investigates theoretical and methodological foundations for stochastic optimal control (SOC) in discrete time. We start formulating the control problem in a general dynamic programming framework, introducing the…
