This paper is devoted to the pricing of variance and volatility swaps in energy market. We found explicit variance swap formula and closed form volatility swap formula (using Brockhaus-Long approximation) for energy asset with stochastic volatility that follows continuous-time GARCH (1,1) model...

In this paper, we show numerically how to calculate the price of bond options, swaps, caps and floors for Levy one-factor stochastic interest rate models via partial integro-differential equations (PIDE). These models include, in particular, Ornshtein-Uhlenbeck (1930), Vasicek (1977),...

In these lectures' notes I would like to introduce forwards, futures and options, and to review some results on Black-Scholes-73 and Black-76 models for positive prices, and also on alternatives models for negative prices for option valuation of futures contracts.I will focus on the first model...

In this chapter, we consider volatility swap, variance swap and VIX future pricing under different stochastic volatility models and jump diffusion models which are commonly used in financial market. We use convexity correction approximation technique and Laplace transform method to evaluate...

We consider a semi-Markov modulated market consisting of a riskless asset or bond, B, and a risky asset or stock, S, whose dynamics depend on a semi-Markov process x. Using the martingale characterization of semi-Markov processes, we note the incompleteness of semi-Markov modulated markets and...

In this paper, we show how to calculate the price of zero-coupon bonds for many Gaussian and Levy one-factor and multi-factor models of r(t) using change of time method. These models include, in particular, Ornshtein-Uhlenbeck (1930), Vasicek (1977), Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (1985), continuous-time...
