On minimization and maximization
of entropy in various disciplines
V. P. Maslov, A. S. Cherny M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics
Abstract:
This paper deals with some problems related to the
relative entropy minimization under linear constraints.
We discuss the relation between this problem and statistical physics,
information theory, and financial mathematics.
Furthermore, in financial mathematics we provide the explicit form of the
minimal entropy martingale measure in the general discrete-time asset price
model. We also give the explicit solution of the problem of the exponential
utility maximization in the general discrete-time asset price model.
