Consider the continuous dynamical system

$$\alpha\ddot{S}+\dot{S}=\mathcal{F}(S,t),$$

such that $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathcal{F}$ is real and analytic. We assume that if a solution for $S$ exists, then $S$ is deterministic. However, for a sufficiently high maximal Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$, when $$\frac{1}{\lambda}\ln\left(\frac{a}{\lVert\delta_0\rVert}\right)\leq\min T,$$

$a$ is the tolerance of prediction, and the initial parameters are uncertain to within $\lVert\delta_0\rVert$ from the true initial conditions, does the system permit no-arbitrage for underlying asset price $S$? If not, does a risk-neutral measure / no free lunch with vanishing risk exist. I would be grateful for any help or pointers to relevant literature.

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for the reply. I am wondering whether a deterministic version of option pricing could hold (since many random physical, such as Brownian motion and pilot-wave theory, are now being modelled through integro-differential equations – which have Lyapunov exponents as high as $50,60,...$). I'm also wondering how to derive a formula for the option price of this underlying, since simply using the chain rule $\dot{f}(t,S_t)=\dot{S}\frac{\partial f}{\partial S}+\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}$ doesn't seem to be sufficient when comparing to the hedge portfolio. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I do not understand why you put the second derivative w/r to time in this ODE? financial maths do use integer-differentiel equations for long. Moreover, I do not see what would reflect your dynamics for the price dynamics? $\endgroup$
