We developed a new scheme for computing "Greeks"of derivatives by an asymptotic expansion approach. In particular, we derived analytical approximation formulae for deltas and Vegas of plain vanilla and av-erage European call options under general Markovian processes of underlying asset prices....

This paper derives an approximation formula for average options under two stochastic volatility models such as Heston and ă(Lambda)-SABR models by using an asymptotic expansion method. Moreover, numerical examples with various parameters some of which are obtained by calibration to WTI...

This paper studies the probability distribution and option pricing for drawdown in a stochastic volatility environment. Their analytical approximation formulas are derived by the application of a singular perturbation method (Fouque et al. [7]). The mathematical validity of the approximation is...

This chapter presents a basic of the methodology so-called an asymptotic expansion approach, and applies this method to approximation of prices of currency options with a libor market model of interest rates and stochastic volatility models of spot exchange rates. The scheme enables us to derive...

This paper proposes a new hedging scheme of European derivatives under uncertain volatility environments, in which a weighted variance swap called the polynomial variance swap is added to the Black-Scholes delta hedging for managing exposure to volatility risk. In general, under these...

An asymptotic expansion scheme in finance initiated by Kunitomo and Takahashi [15] and Yoshida[68] is a widely applicable methodology for analytic approximation of the expectation of a certain functional of diffusion processes. [46], [47] and [53] provide explicit formulas of conditional...

This paper proposes an asymptotic expansion scheme of currency options with a libor market model of interest rates and stochastic volatility models of spot exchange rates. In particular, we derive closed-form approximation formulas for the density functions of the underlying assets and for...

There are now available wide variety of swap products which exchange Libors with different currencies and tenors. Furthermore, the collateralization is becoming more and more popular due to the increased attention to the counter party credit risk. These developments require clear distinction...

This paper proposes a new three-factor model with stochastic mean reversions for commodity prices and derives the closed-form solution for the term structure of futures prices. Moreover, it is confirmed that the prices of crude oil and copper futures prices estimated by our model replicate the...
