We derive analytic series representations for European option prices in polynomial stochastic volatility models. This includes the Jacobi, Heston, Stein-Stein, and Hull-White models, for which we provide numerical case studies. We find that our polynomial option price series expansion performs...

The stochastic volatility model of Heston (Rev Financ Stud 6(2):327–343, <CitationRef CitationID="CR19">1993</CitationRef>) has found difficulty in describing some of the important features of implied volatility dynamics, leading to a quest for multifactor extensions as well as the incorporation of time-dependent model parameters.

We derive a closed-form solution for the price of a European call option in the presence of ambiguity about the stochastic process that determines the variance of the underlying asset’s return. The option pricing formula of Heston (Rev Financ Stud 6(2):327–343, <CitationRef CitationID="CR43">1993</CitationRef>) is a particular case of...</citationref>

In this paper, we extend a delayed geometric Brownian model by adding a stochastic volatility term, which is driven by a hidden process of fast mean reverting diffusion, to the delayed model. Combining a martingale approach and an asymptotic method, we develop a theory for option pricing under...

At the time of writing this article, Fourier inversion is the computational method of choice for a fast and accurate calculation of plain vanilla option prices in models with an analytically available characteristic function. Shifting the contour of integration along the complex plane allows for...
