Perkins Embedding for General Starting Laws
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: The Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) is to represent a given probability measure as a Brownian motion at a particular stopping time. In recent years particular attention has gone to solutions which exhibit additional optimality properties due to applications to martingale inequalities and robust pricing in mathematical finance. Among these solutions, the Perkins embedding sticks out through its distinct geometric properties. Moreover is the only optimal solution to the SEP which so far has been limited to the case of Brownian motion started in a dirac distribution. In this paper we provide for the first time an optimal solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem for the general SEP which leads to the Perkins solution when applied to Brownian motion with start in a dirac. This solution to the SEP also suggests a new geometric interpretation of the Perkins solution which better clarifies the relation to other optimal solutions of the SEP.
