    RKHS regularization of singular local stochastic volatility McKean--Vlasov models
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Bayer, Christian; Belomestny, Denis; Butkovsky, Oleg; Schoenmakers, John G. M.
    Motivated by the challenges related to the calibration of financial models, we consider the problem of solving numerically a singular McKean-Vlasov equation, which represents a singular local stochastic volatility model. Whilst such models are quite popular among practitioners, unfortunately, its well-posedness has not been fully understood yet and, in general, is possibly not guaranteed at all. We develop a novel regularization approach based on the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) technique and show that the regularized model is well-posed. Furthermore, we prove propagation of chaos. We demonstrate numerically that a thus regularized model is able to perfectly replicate option prices due to typical local volatility models. Our results are also applicable to more general McKean--Vlasov equations.

    Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and variable metric algorithms in PDE constrained shape optimisation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Eigel, Martin; Sturm, Kevin
    In this paper we investigate and compare different gradient algorithms designed for the domain expression of the shape derivative. Our main focus is to examine the usefulness of kernel reproducing Hilbert spaces for PDE constrained shape optimisation problems. We show that radial kernels provide convenient formulas for the shape gradient that can be efficiently used in numerical simulations. The shape gradients associated with radial kernels depend on a so called smoothing parameter that allows a smoothness adjustment of the shape during the optimisation process. Besides, this smoothing parameter can be used to modify the movement of the shape. The theoretical findings are verified in a number of numerical experiments.
