The aim of this paper is to obtain the valuation formulas for European and barrier options if the underlying of the option contract is supposed to be driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter greater than 0.5. The paper is build upon the framework developed in Necula (2007) for...

This paper presents a tractable model of non-linear dynamics of market returns using a Langevin approach.Due to non-linearity of an interaction potential, the model admits regimes of both small and large return fluctuations. Langevin dynamics are mapped onto an equivalent quantum mechanical (QM)...

In this paper, we provide an approximation formula for at the money forward options based on a Polya approximation of the cumulative density function of the standard normal distribution, and prove that the relative error of this approximation is uniformly bounded for options with arbitrarily...

We investigate credit value adjustments (CVAs) in the presence of wrong-way risk (WWR) by introducing jumps at default to model correlation between counterparty's default and relevant risk factors. We focus on the foreign-exchange and interest-rate cases, presenting efficient CVA approximations...

We consider a tractable affine stochastic volatility model that generalizes the seminal Heston (1993) model by augmenting it with jumps in the instantaneous variance process. In this framework, we consider options written on the realized variance, and we examine the impact of the distribution of...

The recent analytical closed-form result ('http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549033' http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549033) discovered by Market Memory Trading L.L.C. (“MMT”) for the probability density function of the European style options with stochastic volatility, considered within the Heston model,...

A Markovian Projection is investigated for the Local Stochastic Volatility Libor Market Model. An approximation based on the Log Normal process is introduced. In this approximation, the Markovian Projection is fitted to the CEV model rather than to Displaced Diffusion. The relationship with a...
