Question about the weak convergence of probability
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb R$ and set
$$c(K):=\int_{\mathbb R}(x-K)^+d\mu(x).$$
Assume that one has a sequence of probability measures $(\mu_n)_{n\ge 1}$ s.t.
$$\int_{\mathbb R} …

Question on Jensen's inequality
Let $(X,Y)$ be a martingale on $\mathbb R$ and $\psi:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ be a convex function. Then it follows by Jensen's inequality that
$$\mathbb E[\psi(X)]~~\le~~ \mathbb E[\psi(Y)]$$
and if …

Question abouth Prokhorov metric
Let $X$ and $Y$ be two random variables with first order moments, i.e. $E[|X|]$, $E[|Y|]<+\infty$. Assume further that
$$E\left[|X-Y|\right]<\varepsilon.$$
Set $Law(X)=\mu$ and $Law(Y)=\nu$, it is …

A question about Skorokhod embedding problem
The Skorokhod Embedding Problem is well known and has many solutions. Now let $B=(B_t)_{t\ge 0}$ be a standard Brownian motion and $\tau$ be an embedding to the centered distribution $\mu$, i.e. the s …

A question about Skorokhod embedding problem
I claim that it is just an idea instead of a complete answer, as it is more convenient to put it here. First, take a positive random variable $G$ that is independent of $B$ and $\tau$ and takes values …
