In this article, we consider the problem of the minimal martingale measures for the price process with Poisson shot noise jumps. We give out the minimal martingale measure for this price process by the exponential martingale method. 1. Introduction Let St), t T be a price process which is defined on probability space Ω,F,F,P), where F t denotes the completion of σsu), u t), F F t, t T, and St) evolves as St) : exp bt+σbt) 1 Nt) σ t 1+aHt T k,y k )) 1.1) b, σ are positive constants, a is a constant, Bt), t T is a standard Brown motion, Y k,k 1 are a sequence of i.i.d random variables, their common distribution is F ), T k,k 1 are the jump times of the Poissonprocess Nt), t T with non random intensity process λt), and we assume T λu)du < +, the bivariate function Ht,y) is nonnegative, and Ht,y) for t <, and we make an assumption that for any y, H,y) does not increase. We also assume that aht T k,y k ) > 1, otherwise St) may take negative value, which conflicts with the reality. By employing the random measure, we can rewrite St) by St) exp bt+σbt) 1 σ t+ exp bt+σbt) 1 σ t+ Nt) log1+aht T k,y k )) 1.) log1+aht u,y))ndy,du) where Ndy,du) is a Poisson random measure with intensity λu)fdy)du, and we denote Ñdy,du) Ndy,du) λu)fdy)du, Ñdy,du) is usually called martingale measure.

If a, the price process 1.1) decreases into the following form S B t) : exp bt+σbt) 1 σ t 1.3) whichisusuallycalledgeometricbrownmotion, andweknows B t)isacontinuous stochastic process, however, in financial market, the price process may take jumps, so we can extend S B t) into S J t)[1]) which evolves as S J t) : exp bt+σbt) 1 Nt) σ t 1+Y k ) 1.4) where Y j, j 1 denote the size of jumps, and Nt) denotes the time of jump before t. In reality, the influence of the jumps should fade away as time goes, in order to reflect this effect, we use Ht T k,y k ) to replace Y k, indeed, due to the fact that Ht,y) does not increase with respect to the first variable, the influence of Y k fades away as time goes. The part Nt) log1+aht T k,y k )) is usually called Poisson shot noise process. Recall that if any probability measure Q P, and satisfies that Ŝ is a martingale under Q, then we usually call Q the equivalent martingale measure. It is obvious that S is a price process with jumps, according to the theory of mathematical finance, the market should be incomplete, and the contingent claim is not always attainable, while the equivalent martingale measure is not unique, how to select an equivalent martingale measure as the pricing measure is a problem. Many principles such as minimal entropy martingale measure[4], [5], [3]), minimal Hellinger martingale measure[18]), q-optimal martingale measure[8], [11]) are employed to choose a equivalent martingale measure. Recently, many literature is interested in minimal martingale measures of all kinds of processes. Schweizer [17]) studies the minimal martingale measure for the semimartingale, he provides several characterizations of the minimal martingale measure. Takuji[19]) studies the minimal martingale measure for the jump diffusion process and Paola[15]) discusses the pure jump case. Altmann, Schmidt and Winfried[1]) study the minimal martingale measure of shot noise model, for detail, they discuss the following price process S h t) : exp bt+σbt) 1 Nt) σ t 1+Y k ht T k )) 1.5) which is a particular case of our model 1.1) by taking Ht,y) yht), where the function h ) is nonnegative and non increasing on the positive real line. Motivated by above studies, in this article, we establish the minimal martingale measure for the price process S with Poisson shot noise jumps by constructing an exponential martingale, and the definition of the minimal martingale measure is as follows.

An equivalent martingale measure Q is called minimal if any square integrable P martingale which is orthogonal to the martingale part of Ŝ under P remains a martingale under Q, and Q is usually called minimal martingale measure. Now let us define the probability measure Q by dq dp Ft Zt) exp σgu)dbu)+ c t u,y)ht u,y)ndy,du) : exp σgu)dbu)+ c t u,y)ht u,y)ndy,du)) where G ) which is nonnegative and c t, ) satisfy the following condition: H) : T G u)du+expc T Y 1 )H,Y 1 )) < + 1.6) where c T y) sup u [,T] c T u,y). As follows, we introduce a lemma in which we construct an exponential martingale, the lemma plays a key role in this paper, and the proof will be postponed for conciseness. The process Zt) in 1.6) is not explicit, with the help of the following key lemma, we can give a clear expression for Zt). Lemma 1.. If there exists a δ such that e δgtu,y)h,y) λu)fdy)du < +, for all t [,T], where g t u,y) is a non random function. Then for any Borel measurable function θ ) satisfying sup t T θt) < δ, we have e θu)dlu)) exp where Lt) Nt) g tt k,y k )Ht T k,y k ) ) e θu)gtu,y)ht u,y) 1 λu)fdy)du 1.7) g t u,y)ht u,y)ndy,du). Take θu) 1, g t, ) c t, ) in above lemma, then we can have ) exp σ Gu)dBu) + c t u,y)ht u,y)ndy,du) σ exp G u)du+ by noting the fact that exp σ ) 1.8) e ctu,y)ht u,y) 1 λu)fdy)du ) σ Gu)dBu) exp G u)du so we can give a explicit expression for Zt), that is, Zt) exp σ Gu)dBu) + c t u,y)ht u,y)ndy,du) σ G u)du 1.9) ) e ctu,y)ht u,y) 1 λu)fdy)du 1.1)

The proof of Lemma 1.3 is postponed to the next section.. Main Result In this section, we give out our main result, and the proof of Lemma 1. and Lemma 1.3 are also presented. Here is our main result. Theorem.1. Under the condition H), the equivalent martingale measure Q is the minimal martingale measure with respect to the price process S. Proof.
