Logarithmic spending with a terminal multiplier

ID: logarithmic-spending-with-a-terminal-multiplier

For bank dynamics and utility , substituting the terminal balance separates the concave optimization pointwise and gives the displayed control for . Put and . Its terminal balance is , so the unique positive multiplier achieving zero terminal wealth is . The same control solves the problem with no terminal reward and constraint , by the supporting-line inequality for logarithms.
