We deal with the problem of parameter estimation in stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in a partially observed framework. We aim to design a method working for both elliptic and hypoelliptic SDEs, the latters being characterized by degenerate diffusion coefficients. This feature often causes the failure of contrast estimators based on Euler Maruyama discretization scheme and dramatically impairs classic stochastic filtering methods used to reconstruct the unobserved states. All of theses issues make the estimation problem in hypoelliptic SDEs difficult to solve. To overcome this, we construct a well-defined cost function no matter the elliptic nature of the SDEs. We also bypass the filtering step by considering a control theory perspective. The unobserved states are estimated by solving deterministic optimal control problems using numerical methods which do not need strong assumptions on the diffusion coefficient conditioning. Numerical simulations made on different partially observed hypoelliptic SDEs reveal our method produces accurate estimate while dramatically reducing the computational price comparing to other methods.

We study the problem of optimal inside control of an SPDE (a stochastic evolution equation) driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure. Our optimal control problem is new in two ways: (i) The controller has access to inside information, i.e. access to information about a future state of the system, (ii) The integro-differential operator of the SPDE might depend on the control. In the first part of the paper, we formulate a sufficient and a necessary maximum principle for this type of control problem, in two cases: (1) When the control is allowed to depend both on time t and on the space variable x. (2) When the control is not allowed to depend on x. In the second part of the paper, we apply the results above to the problem of optimal control of an SDE system when the inside controller has only noisy observations of the state of the system. Using results from nonlinear filtering, we transform this noisy observation SDE inside control problem into a full observation SPDE insider control problem. The results are illustrated by explicit examples.
We present a probabilistic formulation of risk aware optimal control problems for stochastic differential equations. Risk awareness is in our framework captured by objective functions in which the risk neutral expectation is replaced by a risk functi on, a nonlinear functional of random variables that account for the controllers risk preferences. We state and prove a risk aware minimum principle that is a parsimonious generalization of the well-known risk neutral, stochastic Pontryagins minimum principle. As our main results we give necessary and also sufficient conditions for optimality of control processes taking values on probability measures defined on a given action space. We show that remarkably, going from the risk neutral to the risk aware case, the minimum principle is simply modified by the introduction of one additional real-valued stochastic process that acts as a risk adjustment factor for given cost rate and terminal cost functions. This adjustment process is explicitly given as the expectation, conditional on the filtration at the given time, of an appropriately defined functional derivative of the risk function evaluated at the random total cost. For our results we rely on the Frechet differentiability of the risk function, and for completeness, we prove under mild assumptions the existence of Frechet derivatives of some common risk functions. We give a simple application of the results for a portfolio allocation problem and show that the risk awareness of the objective function gives rise to a risk premium term that is characterized by the risk adjustment process described above. This suggests uses of our results in e.g. pricing of risk modeled by generic risk functions in financial applications.

We study convergence behaviors of degenerate and non-reversible stochastic differential equations. Our method follows a Lyapunov method in probability density space, in which the Lyapunov functional is chosen as a weighted relative Fisher information functional. We construct a weighted Fisher information induced Gamma calculus method with a structure condition. Under this condition, an explicit algebraic tensor is derived to guarantee the convergence rate for the probability density function converging to its invariant distribution. We provide an analytical example for underdamped Langevin dynamics with variable diffusion coefficients.
We study a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation of the volatility function of a stochastic differential equation driven by a gamma process. The volatility function is modelled a priori as piecewise constant, and we specify a gamma prior on i ts values. This leads to a straightforward procedure for posterior inference via an MCMC procedure. We give theoretical performance guarantees (contraction rates for the posterior) for the Bayesian estimate in terms of the regularity of the unknown volatility function. We illustrate the method on synthetic and real data examples.

In this paper, we study a partially observed progressive optimal control problem of forward-backward stochastic differential equations with random jumps, where the control domain is not necessarily convex, and the control variable enter into all the coefficients. In our model, the observation equation is not only driven by a Brownian motion but also a Poisson random measure, which also have correlated noises with the state equation. For preparation, we first derive the existence and uniqueness of the solutions to the fully coupled forward-backward stochastic system with random jumps in $L^2$-space and the decoupled forward-backward stochastic system with random jumps in $L^beta(beta>2)$-space, respectively, then we obtain the $L^beta(betageq2)$-estimation of solutions to the fully coupled forward-backward stochastic system, and the non-linear filtering equation of partially observed stochastic system with random jumps. Then we derive the partially observed global maximum principle with random jumps with a new hierarchical method. To show its applications, a partially observed linear quadratic progressive optimal control problem with random jumps is investigated, by the maximum principle and stochastic filtering. State estimate feedback representation of the optimal control is given in a more explicit form by introducing some ordinary differential equations.
