Abstract

We provide a method for solving dynamic expected utility maximization problems with possibly not everywhere increasing utility functions in an Lp-semimartingale setting. In particular, we solve the problem for utility functions of type (exponential problem) and (2m-th problem). The convergence of the 2m-th problems to the exponential one is proved. Using this result an explicit portfolio for the exponential problem is derived.
