Universal approximation with signatures of non-geometric rough paths

We establish a universal approximation theorem for signatures of rough paths that are not necessarily weakly geometric. By extending the path with time and its rough path bracket terms, we prove that linear functionals of the signature of the resulting rough paths approximate continuous functionals

Global universal approximation with Brownian signatures

We establish $L^p$-type universal approximation theorems for general and non-anticipative functionals on suitable rough path spaces, showing that linear functionals acting on signatures of time-extended rough paths are dense with respect to an $L^p$-distance. To that end, we derive global universal

Pathwise analysis of log-optimal portfolios

Based on the theory of càdlàg rough paths, we develop a pathwise approach to analyze stability and approximation properties of portfolios along individual price trajectories generated by standard models of financial markets. As a prototypical example from portfolio theory, we study the log-optimal p

Pathwise uniqueness for singular stochastic Volterra equations with Hölder coefficients

Pathwise uniqueness is established for a class of one-dimensional stochastic Volterra equations driven by Brownian motion with singular kernels and Hölder continuous diffusion coefficients. Consequently, the existence of unique strong solutions is obtained for this class of stochastic Volterra equat

Global universality via discrete-time signatures

We establish global universal approximation theorems on spaces of piecewise linear paths, stating that linear functionals of the corresponding signatures are dense with respect to $L^p$- and weighted norms, under an integrability condition on the underlying weight function. As an application, we sho

Universal approximation property of neural stochastic differential equations

We identify various classes of neural networks that are able to approximate continuous functions locally uniformly subject to fixed global linear growth constraints. For such neural networks the associated neural stochastic differential equations can approximate general stochastic differential equat
