In this work, it is assumed that the underlying asset price follows Heston's stochastic volatility model and explicit solutions for the prices of geometric Asian options with fixed and floating strikes are derived. This approach has to deal with the derivation of the generalized joint Fourier...

A catastrophe equity put (CatEPut) option is a catastrophe derivative that allows insurance companies to raise equity capital when they face catastrophe losses. This study focuses on a pricing model for a CatEPut options. First, unlike previous research, this study provides a CatEPut option...

External barrier options are two-asset options where the payoff is defined on one asset and the barrier is defined on another asset. In this paper, we derive the Laplace transforms of the prices and deltas for the external single and double barrier options where the underlying asset prices...

We prove uniform L2-convergence of local times of aperiodic recurrent random walks to local times of strictly [alpha]-stable processes with [alpha] > 1.

The aim of this work is to obtain sufficient conditions for stability of multidimensional jump-diffusion processes in the sense of stability in distribution and stability at the equilibrium solution. The technique employed is to construct appropriate Lyapunov functions.

We develop a multi-dimensional local average lattice method in order to compute efficiently and accurately the price of multivariate contingent claims. The proposed method improves the accuracy of the standard lattice method by considering the local averages of option prices around each node at...
