TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered the continuous-time consumption-portfolio problem for an individual whose income is generated by capital gains on investments in assets with prices assumed to satisfy the geometric Brownian motion hypothesis, which implies that asset prices are stationary and lognormally distributed.

Optimal Dynamic Trading with Leverage Constraints

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal trading strategy of an investor who faces a leverage constraint, i.e., a limitation on his ability to borrow for the purpose of investing in a risky asset, is studied.

Optimal portfolio for a small investor in a market model with discontinuous prices

TL;DR: In this article, a consumption-investment problem is considered for a small investor in the case of a market model in which prices evolve according to a stochastic equation with a jump-process component.

A geometric approach to multiperiod mean variance optimization of assets and liabilities

TL;DR: In this paper, a geometric approach to discrete time multi-period mean variance portfolio optimization is presented, which largely simplifies the mathematical analysis and the economic interpretation of such model settings.

Portfolio optimization with unobservable Markov-modulated drift process

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study portfolio optimization problems in which the drift rate of the stock is Markov modulated and the driving factors cannot be observed by the investor, and prove a number of interesting properties of the optimal portfolio strategy.

Lifetime Portfolio Selection under Uncertainty: The Continuous-Time Case

TL;DR: In this paper, the combined problem of optimal portfolio selection and consumption rules for an individual in a continuous-time model was examined, where his income is generated by returns on assets and these returns or instantaneous "growth rates" are stochastic.

Lifetime Portfolio Selection By Dynamic Stochastic Programming

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal consumption-investment problem for an investor whose utility for consumption over time is a discounted sum of single-period utilities, with the latter being constant over time and exhibiting constant relative risk aversion (power-law functions or logarithmic functions), is discussed.
