Optional decomposition of optional supermartingales and applications to filtering and finance. (English) Zbl 1496.91081

Summary: The classical Doob-Meyer decomposition and its uniform version the optional decomposition are stated on probability spaces with filtrations satisfying the usual conditions. However, the comprehensive needs of filtering theory and mathematical finance call for their generalizations to more abstract spaces without such technical restrictions. The main result of this paper states that there exists a uniform Doob-Meyer decomposition of optional supermartingales on unusual probability spaces. This paper also demonstrates how this decomposition works in the construction of optimal filters in the very general setting of the filtering problem for optional semimartingales. Finally, the application of these optimal filters of optional semimartingales to mathematical finance is presented.
