This paper presents a new model for options pricing. The Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model plays an important role in financial options pricing. However, the BSM model assumes that the risk-free interest rate, volatility, and equity premium…
Two novel and direct quantum mechanical representations of the Black-Scholes model are constructed based on the (Wick-rotated) quantization of two specific mechanical systems. The quantum setup is achieved by means of the associated…
We derive new formulas for the price of the European call and put options in the Black-Scholes model, under the form of uniformly convergent series generalizing previously known approximations. We also provide precise boundaries for the…
The time average of geometric Brownian motion plays a crucial role in the pricing of Asian options in mathematical finance. In this paper we consider the asymptotics of the discrete-time average of a geometric Brownian motion sampled on…
We consider a non-Gaussian option pricing model, into which the underlying log-price is assumed to be driven by an $\alpha$-stable distribution. We remove the a priori divergence of the model by introducing a Mellin regularization for the…
The studied model was suggested to design a perfect hedging strategy for a large trader. In this case the implementation of a hedging strategy affects the price of the underlying security. The feedback-effect leads to a nonlinear version of…
As was shown in the previous works by other authors, Glasser - Manna - Oloa integral arise in the study of the Laplace transform of the dilogarithm function and can be evaluated in a closed form. In this article, we give a one parametric…
This paper discusses the short-maturity behavior of Asian option prices and hedging portfolios. We consider the risk-neutral valuation and the delta value of the Asian option having a H\"older continuous payoff function in a local…
Employing the Klein-Gordon equation, we propose a generalized Black-Scholes equation. In addition, we found a limit where this generalized equation is invariant under conformal transformations, in particular invariant under scale…
This paper sets out to provide a general framework for the pricing of average-type options via lower and upper bounds. This class of options includes Asian, basket and options on the volume-weighted average price. We demonstrate that in…
Herein, the Laplace transform representations for functions of weighted holomorphic Bergman spaces on the tube domains are developed. Then a weighted version of the edge-of-the-wedge theorem is derived as a byproduct of the main results.
We consider the problem of pricing basket options in a multivariate Black Scholes or Variance Gamma model. From a numerical point of view, pricing such options corresponds to moderate and high dimensional numerical integration problems with…
We describe general multilevel Monte Carlo methods that estimate the price of an Asian option monitored at $m$ fixed dates. Our approach yields unbiased estimators with standard deviation $O(\epsilon)$ in $O(m + (1/\epsilon)^{2})$ expected…
In this work, we study the value of an Asian option in the case of exponential Levy markets. More specifically, we are interested in the NIG (normal inverse Gaussian) the VG (variance gamma) models. The exponential Levy models produce…
In this article, we study the rate of convergence of prices when a model is approximated by some simplified model. We also provide a method how explicit error formula for more general options can be obtained if such formula is available for…
We justify and give error estimates for binomial approximations of game (Israeli) options in the Black--Scholes market with Lipschitz continuous path dependent payoffs which are new also for usual American style options. We show also that…
In this work we present an analytical model, based on the path-integral formalism of Statistical Mechanics, for pricing options using first-passage time problems involving both fixed and deterministically moving absorbing barriers under…
In the standard Black-Scholes-Merton framework, dividends are represented as a continuous dividend yield and the pricing of Vanilla options on a stock is achieved through the well-known Black-Scholes formula. In reality however, stocks pay…
We consider plain vanilla European options written on an underlying asset that follows a continuous time semi-Markov multiplicative process. We derive a formula and a renewal type equation for the martingale option price. In the case in…
This research addresses accurate option pricing by employing models beyond the traditional Black-Scholes framework. While Black-Scholes provides a closed-form solution, it is limited by assumptions of constant volatility, no dividends, and…
