FlashIV is a low-latency Black--Scholes implied-volatility solver for production use. It normalises each input to an out-of-the-money price and solves a tail-stable erfcx/log-price residual. The hot path combines a cheap Li/asymptotic seed…
Using the option delta systematically, we derive tighter lower and upper bounds of the Black-Scholes implied volatility than those in Tehranchi [SIAM J. Financ. Math. 7 (2016), 893-916]. As an application, we propose a Newton-Raphson…
We study stochastic optimization from a joint continuous-discrete point of view. Starting from a second-order stochastic differential equation interpreted as a noisy accelerated gradient flow, we discretize the dynamics by a fully implicit…
In this paper we study nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that are used to model different value adjustments denoted generally as xVA. These adjustments are nowadays commonly added to the risk-free financial derivative values…
An efficient linear solver plays an important role while solving partial differential equations (PDEs) and partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) type mathematical models. In most cases, the efficiency depends on the stability and…

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…
Newton-type methods enjoy fast local convergence and strong empirical performance, but achieving global guarantees comparable to first-order methods remains challenging. Even for simple strongly convex problems, no straightforward variant…
Einstein-Maxwell-scalar models allow for different classes of black hole solutions, depending on the non-minimal coupling function $f(\phi)$ employed, between the scalar field and the Maxwell invariant. Here, we address the linear mode…
We derive an equivalent form of Halpern's fixed-point iteration scheme for solving a co-coercive equation (also called a root-finding problem), which can be viewed as a Nesterov's accelerated interpretation. We show that one method is…
In this paper, we prove the linear stability of weakly charged and slowly rotating Kerr-Newman black holes under coupled gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations. We show that the solutions to the linearized Einstein-Maxwell…
We introduce an inertial quasi-Newton Forward-Backward Splitting Algorithm to solve a class of monotone inclusion problems. While the inertial step is computationally cheap, in general, the bottleneck is the evaluation of the resolvent…
We present in this paper algorithms for solving stiff PDEs on the unit sphere with spectral accuracy in space and fourth-order accuracy in time. These are based on a variant of the double Fourier sphere method in coefficient space with…
Black-Scholes implied volatility is a quantile. The insight follows from the normalized option price being a probability on the variance scale, with the inverse Gaussian distribution providing the link. It enables analytically exact and…
We solve the superhedging problem for European options in an illiquid extension of the Black-Scholes model, in which transactions have transient price impact and the costs and the strategies for hedging are affected by physical or cash…
The implied volatility is a crucial element of any financial toolbox, since it is used for quoting and the hedging of options as well as for model calibration. In contrast to the Black-Scholes formula its inverse, the implied volatility, is…
