Methods of Mathematical Finance (Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability)
"The book under review deals with the applications of stochastic analysis and optimal control theory to various problems arising in modern mathematical finance. In contrast to several other books on mathematical finance which appeared in recent years, this book deals not only with the so-called partial equilibrium approach (i.e., the arbitrage pricing of European and American contingent claims) but also with the general equilibrium approach (i.e., with the equilibrium specification of prices of primary assets). A major part of the book is devoted to solving valuation and portfolio optimization problems under market imperfections, such as market incompleteness and portfolio constraints. ... Undoubtedly, the book constitutes a valuable research-level text which should be consulted by anyone interested in the area. Unlike other currently available monographs, it provides an exhaustive and up-to-date treatment of portfolio optimization and valuation problems under constraints. It is also quite suitable as a textbook for an advanced course on mathematical finance."  (Marek RutKowski, Mathematical Reviews)
