The fact that the expected payoffs on assets and call options are infinite under most log-stable distributions led Paul … Fourier Transform (FFT) can be used to quickly evaluate options directly from the characteristic function of any RNM. The log …-stable RNM characteristic function presented here therefore greatly facilitates the pricing of options on log-stable assets, by …
