We propose a novel method for the analytical approximation in local volatility models with Lévy jumps. The main result is an expansion of the characteristic function in a local Lévy model, which is worked out in the Fourier space by considering the adjoint formulation of the pricing problem....

We present new approximation formulas for local stochastic volatility models, possibly including Lévy jumps. Our main result is an expansion of the characteristic function which is worked out in the Fourier space. Combined with standard Fourier methods, our result provides efficient and...

In this paper we analyse a market where the risky assets follow defaultable exponential additive processes, with coefficients depending on the default state of the assets. In this market we show that, when an investor wants to maximize a utility function which is logarithmic on both his/her...

We consider a modelling setup where the VIX index dynamics are explicitly computable as a smooth transformation of a purely diffusive, multidimensional Markov process. The framework is general enough to embed many popular stochastic volatility models. We develop closed-form expansions and sharp...

Various valuation adjustments, or XVAs, can be written in terms of non-linear PIDEs equivalent to FBSDEs. In this paper we develop a Fourier-based method for solving FBSDEs in order to efficiently and accurately price Bermudan derivatives, including options and swaptions, with XVA under the...

We consider a defaultable asset whose risk-neutral pricing dynamics are described by an exponential Lévy-type martingale. This class of models allows for a local volatility, local default intensity and a locally dependent Lévy measure. We present a pricing method for Bermudan options based on...
