This paper proposes a new approximation method for pricing barrier options with discrete monitoring under stochastic volatility environment. In particular, the integration-by-parts formula and the duality formula in Malliavin calculus are effectively applied in pricing barrier options with...

This paper presents a new computational scheme for an asymptotic expansion method of an arbitrary order. The asymptotic expansion method in finance initiated by Kunitomo and Takahashi (1992), Yoshida (1992b) and Takahashi (1995, 1999) is a widely applicable methodology for an analytic...

This paper presents an extension of a general computational scheme for asymptotic expansions proposed in earlier works by the authors and coworkers. In the earlier works, a new method was developed for the computation of an arbitrary-order expansion with a normal benchmark distribution in a...
