Model-Free Implied Volatility under Jump-Diffusion Models [PDF]
The model-free implied volatility (MFIVol) is intended to measure the variability of underlying asset price on which options are written. Analytically, however, it does not measure exactly the variability under jump diffusion.

Convergence of the discrete variance swap in time-homogeneous diffusion models [PDF]
In stochastic volatility models based on time-homogeneous diffusions, we provide a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the discretely sampled fair strike of a variance swap to converge to the continuously sampled fair strike. It extends Theorem 3.8 of Jarrow, Kchia, Larsson and Protter (2013) and gives an affirmative answer to a problem posed

A Proposal for Multi-asset Generalised Variance Swaps [PDF]
This paper proposes swaps on two important new measures of generalized variance, namely the maximum eigen-value and trace of the covariance matrix of the assets involved. We price these generalized variance swaps for financial markets with Markov-modulated volatilities.

New solvable stochastic volatility models for pricing volatility derivatives [PDF]
Classical solvable stochastic volatility models (SVM) use a CEV process for instantaneous variance where the CEV parameter $\gamma$ takes just few values: 0 - the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, 1/2 - the Heston (or square root) process, 1- GARCH, and 3/2 - the 3/2 model.

PROFITABILITY CALCULATION AND ANALYSIS FOR INTEREST RATE SWAP USING THE HULL WHITE MODEL
The London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) volatility had resulted in higher interest rate risks faced by many big companies and financial institutions whose assets depend on the interest rate.
