Non-linear Affine Processes with Jumps (2207.03710v2)

Abstract: We present a probabilistic construction of $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued non-linear affine processes with jumps. Given a set $\Theta$ of affine parameters, we define a family of sublinear expectations on the Skorokhod space under which the canonical process $X$ is a (sublinear) Markov process with a non-linear generator. This yields a tractable model for Knightian uncertainty for which the sublinear expectation of a Markovian functional can be calculated via a partial integro-differential equation.
