Analytical approximation of the transition density in a local volatility model [PDF]

open access: yes
We present a simplified approach to the analytical approximation of the transition density related to a general local volatility model. The methodology is sufficiently flexible to be extended to time-dependent coefficients, multi-dimensional stochastic ...

Hedging Options with Scale-Invariant Models [PDF]

open access: yes
A price process is scale-invariant if and only if the returns distribution is independent of the price level. We show that scale invariance preserves the homogeneity of a pay-off function throughout the life of the claim and hence prove that standard ...

Option data and modeling BSM implied volatility [PDF]

open access: yes
This contribution to the Handbook of Computational Finance, Springer-Verlag, gives an overview on modeling implied volatility data. After introducing the concept of Black-Scholes-Merton implied volatility (IV), the empirical stylized facts of IV data are

"On Approximation of the Solutions to Partial Differential Equations in Finance" [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper proposes a general approximation method for the solutions to second-order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) widely used in finance through an extension of Léandre's approach(Léandre (2006,2008)) and the Bismut identiy(e.g ...

Fine-tune your smile: Correction to Hagan et al

open access: yes, 2008
In this small note we use results derived in Berestycki et al. to correct the celebrated formulae of Hagan et al. We derive explicitly the correct zero order term in the expansion of the implied volatility in time to maturity.
