Robust Exploratory Stopping under Ambiguity in Reinforcement Learning

We propose and analyze a continuous-time robust reinforcement learning framework for optimal stopping under ambiguity. In this framework, an agent chooses a robust exploratory stopping time motivated by two objectives: robust decision-making under ambiguity and learning about the unknown environment

Robust mean-field control under common noise uncertainty

We propose and analyze a framework for discrete-time robust mean-field control problems under common noise uncertainty. In this framework, the mean-field interaction describes the collective behavior of infinitely many cooperative agents’ state and action, while the common noise – a random disturba

Sensitivity of robust optimization problems under drift and volatility uncertainty

We examine optimization problems in which an investor has the opportunity to trade in $d$ stocks with the goal of maximizing her worst-case cost of cumulative gains and losses. Here, worst-case refers to taking into account all possible drift and volatility processes for the stocks that fall within

Robust dividend policy: Equivalence of Epstein-Zin and Maenhout preferences

In a continuous-time economy, this paper formulates the Epstein-Zin preference for discounted dividends received by an investor as an Epstein-Zin singular control utility. We introduce a backward stochastic differential equation with an aggregator integrated with respect to a singular control, prove
