Lewis and Mordecki have computed the Wiener-Hopf factorization of a L\'evy process whose restriction on $]0,+\infty[$ of their L\'evy measure has a rational Laplace transform. That allows to compute the distribution of $(X_t,\inf_{0\leq…
Motivated by the pricing of lookback options in exponential L\'evy models, we study the difference between the continuous and discrete supremum of L\'evy processes. In particular, we extend the results of Broadie et al. (1999) to…
In this paper, we address rare-event simulation for heavy-tailed L\'evy processes with infinite activities. The presence of infinite activities poses a critical challenge, making it impractical to simulate or store the precise sample path…
The goal of this paper is to investigate how the marginal and dependence structures of a variety of multivariate L\'evy models affect calibration and pricing. To this aim, we study the approaches of Luciano and Semeraro (2010) and Ballotta…
We give an exposition and numerical studies of upper hedging prices in multinomial models from the viewpoint of linear programming and the game-theoretic probability of Shafer and Vovk. We also show that, as the number of rounds goes to…
This work investigates the strong and weak convergence orders of numerical methods for SDEs driven by time-changed L\'{e}vy noise under the globally Lipschitz conditions. Based on the duality theorem, we prove that the numerical…
A stochastic algorithm for the recursive approximation of the location $\theta$ of a maximum of a regression function was introduced by Kiefer and Wolfowitz [Ann. Math. Statist. 23 (1952) 462--466] in the univariate framework, and by Blum…
Simple regression methods provide robust, near-optimal solutions for optimal switching problems, including high-dimensional ones (up to 50). While the theory requires solving intractable PDE systems, the Longstaff-Schwartz algorithm with…
We consider the problem of approximating a given element $f$ from a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ by means of greedy algorithms and the application of such procedures to the regression problem in statistical learning theory. We improve on the…
An important family of stochastic processes arising in many areas of applied probability is the class of L\'evy processes. Generally, such processes are not simulatable especially for those with infinite activity. In practice, it is common…

The authors present a new simple algorithm to approximate weakly stochastic differential equations in the spirit of [1] and [2]. They apply it to the problem of pricing Asian options under the Heston stochastic volatility model, and compare…
We investigate two hedging problems in exponential L\'evy models. First, we provide an explicit representation for the F\"ollmer--Schweizer decomposition of European type options under mild conditions, which implies a closed-form expression…
A model-independent method for the analysis of the two-particle short-range correlations is presented, that can be utilized to describe e.g. Bose-Einstein (HBT), dynamical (ridge) or other correlation functions, that have a nearly L\'evy or…
In Figueroa-L\'opez et al. (2013), a second order approximation for at-the-money (ATM) option prices is derived for a large class of exponential L\'evy models, with or without a Brownian component. The purpose of this article is twofold.…
This paper studies a class of optimal multiple stopping problems driven by L\'evy processes. Our model allows for a negative effective discount rate, which arises in a number of financial applications, including stock loans and real…
We extend the viscosity solution characterization proved in [5] for call/put American option prices to the case of a general payoff function in a multi-dimensional setting: the price satisfies a semilinear re-action/diffusion type equation.…
Statistical inference for stochastic processes based on high-frequency observations has been an active research area for more than a decade. One of the most well-known and widely studied problems is that of estimation of the quadratic…
This paper presents a novel approach to pricing American options using piecewise diffusion Markov processes (PDifMPs), a type of generalised stochastic hybrid system that integrates continuous dynamics with discrete jump processes. Standard…
