Many researchers in he financial fields use muliple priors o discuss decisions under volailiy uncerainy. Gilboa and Schmeider 1] inroduce he decision heoreical seing of muliple priors. Maccheroni e al. 2] generalize muliple priors o preferences. Vorbrink 3] discusses a paricular example o illusrae an uncerain volailiy model. We consider he European coningen claim, whose characerisic is volailiy uncerainy. he price process of underlying asse is supposed o follow a mean reversion model. Mos exising resuls are obained by using daa from developed markes o es for mean reversion. Poerba and Summers 4] examine he evidence on he presence of mean reversion in sock prices. Chaudhuri and Wu 5] invesigae ha sock-price indexes of emerging markes are characerized by mean reversion processes. Akarim and Sevim 6] idenify he bes porfolio invesmen sraegy on he validiy of he mean reversion model. Relaxing he deerminisic marke liquidiy process o allow a mean reversion sochasic process, Feng e al. 7] develop a liquidiy-adjused opion pricing model. In our liquidiy financial markes wih volailiy uncerainy, he wealh is invesed in risk-free asse and risky asse. Denoe S as he underlying asse price a ime. he underlying asse price is assumed o follow a mean reversion model. Denoe he canonical process W = (W ) as a G-Brownian moion wih regard o a sublinear expecaion E G, called G-expecaion (see 8] for is consrucion). Under probabiliy measure, he model is wrien in he form ds = r(α S )d + σ dw, S = x >. (1) We aim o solve sup P P E P (B V ) and supe P ( B V ), (2) where V denoes he payoff of a coningen claims a mauriy, and B is a discouning. P is he probabiliy measure. We suppose ha he sock price process saisfies a mean reversion model. Namely, equaion (1) conains a G-Brownian moion raher han a classical Brownian moion. equaion (1) is differen from he geomeric G-Brownian moion used in 3]. In our model, he volailiy of S is a variable depending on, while he volailiy of S is consan in 3]. We ake advanage of he G- framework and he concep of arbirage o obain he inerval of no-arbirage, P P
he invesigaion of he mean reversion model 127 which is differen from ha in 6], in which he mean reversion model is employed o idenify he bes porfolio invesmen sraegy. he res of he paper is organized as follows. Secion 2 provides he mahemaical seing and he liquidiy financial markes. In Secion 3, he inerval of no-arbirage is derived. Secion 4 presens our main resuls. Conclusions are drawn a he end of his paper. 2 Model seings In he following liquidiy financial marke M, here are wo asses, a riskfree asse and a single risky asse. hey are raded coninuously over, ]. Assume ha risk-free asse is a bond wih price B a ime and is ineres rae is r. So he price process of he risk-free asse B is assumed o saisfy he following formula db = rb d, B = 1. (3) Assume ha risky asse is a sock whose price process S follows he mean reversion model: ds = r(α S )d + σ dw, S = x >. (4) In equaions (3) and (4), he consan r represens he riskless ineres rae. In (4), r is he mean reversion speed of S in he liquidiy financial marke. α is he mean level of S. σ is he level of volailiy of S. W = (W ) denoes he canonical process which is a G-Brownian moion under E G or P, wih parameers σ > σ >. In (4), he sock price process S is an elemen of M 2 G (, ) = H2 G (, ) which is a basic assumpion in marke M. We impose he condiion H :=B 1 θ + γ S = θ B 1 + γ S + θ u db 1 u + γ u ds u C, q.s., where H represens he value of rading sraegy a ime and C is a cumulaive consumpion process (see 9]). he meaning of equaion (5) is ha, saring wih an iniial amoun B 1 θ + γ S of wealh, all changes in wealh are due o capial gains (appreciaion of socks, and ineres from he bond), minus he consumed amoun. Remark 2.1. A porfolio process π represens proporions of a wealh X which is invesed in he sock. If we define (5) γ := X π S, θ := X B (1 π ),,
128 Zixin Yuan, Weipeng Yuan and Jixi Li hen X = H. As long as π consiues a porfolio process wih corresponding wealh process X, he (θ, γ) is a rading sraegy in he sense of equaion (5). Definiion 2.2. For a given iniial capial X, a porfolio process π, and a cumulaive consumpion process C, consider wealh equaion dx = X (1 π )B db 1 + X π ds S = X rd + X π σ dw dc dc wih iniial wealh X, which is equivalen o B X = X B u dc u + B u X u π u σ u dw u,. (6) If equaion (6) has a unique soluion X = (X ) := X X,π,C, hen i is called he wealh process corresponding o he riple (X, π, C). 3 A No Arbirage Inerval in he European coningen claim heorem 3.1. For he financial marke (M, V ), he following ideniies hold: v up = E G (B V ), v low = E G ( B V ). Proof. Le us begin wih he ideniy v up = E G (B V ). As seen in he proof of 1], for any X U, i has X E G (B V ). herefore, v up = inf{x X U} E G (B V ). o show he opposie inequaliy, we need o define he G-maringale M by M := E G (B V F ),. By he maringale represenaion heorem in 11], we know ha here exiss z H 1 G (, ) and a coninuous, increasing processes Γ = (Γ ) wih Γ L 1 G (Ω ) such ha for any M = E G (B V ) + z sdw s Γ q.s. For any, we se X = E G (B V ), X π σ = z B 1 HG 1 dγ s L 1 G (Ω ). hen he wealh process X X,π,C saisfies C = B 1 s B X X,π,C = X + B s X X,π,C s π s σ s dw s B s dc s = M. (, ), and As X X,π,C = B 1 M = V quasi-surely, we have X = E G (B V ) U. Due o he definiion of U, we conclude v up E G (B V ).
he invesigaion of he mean reversion model 129 he proof for he second ideniy is analogous. Employing he proof in 1], we have X E G ( B V ) for any X L. Hence v low E G ( B V ). In order o obain v low E G ( B V ), we define a G-maringale M by M = E G ( B V F ),. Using he maringale represenaion heorem in 11], here exis z HG 1 (, ), and a coninuous, increasing process Γ = (Γ ) wih Γ L 1 G (Ω ) such ha M = E G ( B V ) + z s dw s Γ q.s. For any, le and C = X = E G ( B V ), B 1 s X π σ = z B 1 H 1 G(, ) dγ s L 1 G (Ω ). hen he wealh process X X,π,C saisfies B X X,π,C = X + B s X X,π,C s π s σ s dw s B s dc s = M, where C obeys he condiion of a cumulaive consumpion process due o he properies of Γ (see 9]). Moreover, for any, we have Since X X,π,C B X X,π,C = E G ( B V F ) E G ( V F ). = B 1 M = V q.s., i has X = E G ( B V ) L. Owing o he definiion of L, we obain v low E G ( B V ). he proof is compleed. 4 he Markovian case Considering he liquidiy financial marke M, we have he form V = Φ(S ) for Lipschiz funcion Φ : R R. A nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula which is esablished by Peng 8] is employed o solve our issue. Le us rewrie he dynamics of S in Equaion 4 as ds,x u = r(α Su,x )du + σ u Su,x dw u, u, ], S,x = x >. A ime, ], we denoe ha he lower and upper arbirage prices are vlow (x) and v up(x), respecively. Using he variable x represens he sock price S a a considered ime. ha is, S = x. he following conclusion is uilized o esablish he connecion of vlow (x) and vup(x).
13 Zixin Yuan, Weipeng Yuan and Jixi Li Lemma 4.1. Given a European coningen claim V = Φ(S ), is upper arbirage price v up(x) is given by u(, x), where u :, ] R + R is he unique soluion of he PDE u + rx x u + G(σ 2 x 2 xx u) = ru, u(, x) = Φ(x). (7) A precise represenaion for he corresponding rading sraegy in he sock and he cumulaive consumpion process is given by γ = x u(, S ),, ], C = 1 2 + σ s 2 S s 2 xx u(s, S s )d W s σ s 2 S s 2 G( xx u(s, S s ))ds,, ]. he process of proving Lemma 4.1 is given in 1]. On he basis of he resul of Lemma 4.1, we know ha he unique soluion of equaion (7) is he funcion u(, x) = vup(x) and u(, x) = vlow (x). If Φ is a convex or concave funcion, equaion (7) will become very simple. heorem 4.2. 1. If Φ is concave, hen u(, ) is convex for any. 2. If Φ is convex, hen u(, ) is concave for any. Analogously, if Φ is convex, hen u(, ) is concave for any. If Φ is concave, hen u(, ) is convex for any. Proof. We only need o ake ino accoun he funcion of he upper arbirage price which is deermined by u(, x) = E G ( Φ(S,x )B ) = v up (x), (, x), ] R +.

For any λ, 1], i has u(, λx + (1 λ)y),λx+(1 λ)y =E G Φ(S r( )e )] =E G Φ ( (λx + (1 λ)y)e r( ) + α(1 e r( ) ) ) ] + e r( ) σ s e rs dw s e r( ) =E G Φ ( λ(xe r( ) + α(1 e r( ) ) + e r( ) σ s e rs dw s ) + (1 λ)(ye r( ) + α(1 e r( ) ) + e r( ) σ s e rs dw s ) ) ] e r( ) E G λφ ( xe r( ) + α(1 e r( ) ) + e r( ) + (1 λ)φ ( ye r( ) + α(1 e r( ) ) + e r( ) E G λφ ( xe r( ) + α(1 e r( ) ) + e r( ) + E G (1 λ)φ ( ye r( ) + α(1 e r( ) ) ) ] + e r( ) σ s e rs dw s e r( ) =λe G Φ(S,x )] )e r( + (1 λ)e G Φ(S,y =λu(, x) + (1 λ)u(, y), )e r( )] σ s e rs dw s ) ] σ s e rs r( ) dw s ) e ) ] σ s e rs dw s e r( ) where we have used he convexiy of Φ, he monooniciy of E G and he sublineariy of E G in he second inequaliy. Hence, u(, ) is convex for all, ]. Le Φ be concave. For any (, x), ] R +, we se where,x d S s = r h(, x) := E P,x Φ( S )] )e r(,,x,x S s ds + σ S s dw s, s, ], S,x = x. E P is linear which means ha h(, ) is concave for any, ]. herefore, h solves equaion (7). he uniqueness is used o conclude h = u. Hence, u(, ) is concave for any, ]. 5 Conclusion In our paper, he mean reversion model is employed o describe he sock price process. We resric our sudy in liquidiy financial marke which feaures
132 Zixin Yuan, Weipeng Yuan and Jixi Li volailiy uncerainy. he srucure of a G-Brownian moion is employed in our mahemaical seing. We find an inerval of no-arbirage price for he general European coningen claims. he parial differenial equaions are applied o esablish he connecion of he lower and upper arbirage prices.
