This paper proposes a general approximation method for the solutions to second order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) by an extension of Leandre's approach and the Bismut identity in Malliavin calculus. We show two types of its applications, new approximations of derivatives...

This paper proposes a unified method for precise estimates of the error bounds in asymptotic expansions of an option price and its Greeks (sensitivities) under a stochastic volatility model. More generally, we also derive an error estimate for an asymptotic expansion around a partially elliptic...

This paper derives a new semi closed-form approximation formula for pricing an up-and-out barrier option under a certain type of stochastic volatility model including SABR model by applying a rigorous asymptotic expansion method developed by Kato, Takahashi and Yamada (2012). We also demonstrate...
