We analyze the relative price change of assets starting from basic supply/demand considerations subject to arbitrary motivations. The resulting stochastic differential equation has coefficients that are functions of supply and demand. We…
The Black-Scholes formula for pricing options on stocks and other securities has been generalized by Merton and Garman to the case when stock volatility is stochastic. The derivation of the price of a security derivative with stochastic…
We present a high-level framework that explains why, in practice, different pricing models calibrated to the same vanilla surface tend to produce similar valuations for exotic derivatives. Our approach acts as an overlay on the Monte Carlo…
We consider the variational discretization of a linear-quadratic optimal control problem with pointwise control and state constraints. In order to allow for a Fr\'echet smooth norm, the problem is reformulated by means of a reflexive…
In this paper I develop a new computational method for pricing path dependent options. Using the path integral representation of the option price, I show that in general it is possible to perform analytically a partial averaging over the…
An important problem of optimization analysis surges when parameters such as $ \{\theta_j\}_{j=1,\, \dots \,,k }$, determining a function $ y=f(x\given\{\theta_j\}) $, must be estimated from a set of observables $ \{ x_i,y_i\}_{i=1,\, \dots…
This paper provides the first and second order derivatives of any risk measures, including VaR and ES for continuous and discrete portfolio loss random variable variables. Also, we give asymptotic results of the first and second order…
We study a market model in which the volatility of the stock may jump at a random time from a fixed value to another fixed value. This model was already described in the literature. We present a new approach to the problem, based on partial…
We consider the supOU stochastic volatility model which is able to exhibit long-range dependence. For this model we give conditions for the discounted stock price to be a martingale, calculate the characteristic function, give a strip where…
We provide a unifying treatment of pathwise moderate deviations for models commonly used in financial applications, and for related integrated functionals. Suitable scaling allows us to transfer these results into small-time, large-time and…
In this paper, we study the relation between Fr\'echet derivatives and Dupire derivatives, in which the latter are recently introduced by Dupire [4]. After introducing the definition of Fr\'echet derivatives for non-anticipative…
This paper introduces, up to the author's knowledge, for the first time the generalized initial value problem. In this problem, given an ordinary differential equation defined in some set, the initial conditions are mapped to a subset of…
Invariant conditions for conformable fractional problems of the calculus of variations under the presence of external forces in the dynamics are studied. Depending on the type of transformations considered, different necessary conditions of…
The present article is devoted to the semi-parametric estimation of multivariate expectiles for extreme levels. The considered multivariate risk measures also include the possible conditioning with respect to a functional covariate,…
This article addresses the problem of approximating the price of options on discrete and continuous arithmetic average of the underlying, i.e. discretely and continuously monitored Asian options, in local volatility models. A…
In this article we study an optimal control problem subject to the Fokker-Planck equation \[ \partial_t \rho - \nu \Delta \rho - {\rm div } \big(\rho B[u]\big) = 0. \] The control variable $u$ is time-dependent and possibly…
In this article, we develop a semigroup-theoretic framework for the analytic characterisation of martingales with path-dependent terminal conditions. Our main result establishes that a measurable adapted process of the form \[ V(t) -…
Option contracts can be valued by using the Black-Scholes equation, a partial differential equation with initial conditions. An exact solution for European style options is known. The computation time and the error need to be minimized…
This study delves into the intricate realm of risk evaluation within the domain of specific financial derivatives, notably options. Unlike other financial instruments, like bonds, options are susceptible to broader risks. A distinctive…
We derive a new high-order compact finite difference scheme for option pricing in stochastic volatility models. The scheme is fourth-order accurate in space and second-order accurate in time. Under some restrictions, theoretical results…
