We present two explicit rational formulae for Bachelier, or normal, implied volatility. The formulae take the option price, forward, strike, and expiry as inputs and return the implied normal volatility without iteration. They follow the…

Suppose that we are given a function f : (0,1) -> (0,1) and, for some unknown p in (0,1), a sequence of independent tosses of a p-coin (i.e., a coin with probability p of ``heads''). For which functions f is it possible to simulate an…
