Floored marginal utility optimizer
ID: floored-marginal-utility-optimizer
For a nonnegative terminal wealth floor whose state-price density cost is strictly below the available budget, pointwise maximization of over gives the displayed payoff. The positive multiplier exhausts the state-price budget constraint. This requires the usual utility and integrability hypotheses ensuring that the multiplier exists and the payoff is replicable.
