This paper derives asymptotic expansion formulas for option prices and implied volatilities as well as the density of the underlying asset price in a stochastic volatility model. In particular, the integration-by-parts formula in Malliavin calculus and the push-down of Malliavin weights are...

This paper proposes a general approximation method for the solutions to second order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) by an extension of Leandre's approach and the Bismut identity in Malliavin calculus. We show two types of its applications, new approximations of derivatives...

The paper proposes a new automatic/algorithmic differentiation for the solutions to partial differential equations of parabolic type. In particular, we provide a higher order discretization scheme which is a natural extension of the standard automatic differentiation. A Brownian polynomial...

The paper shows a new weak approximation method for stochastic differential equations as a generalization and an extension of Heath-Platen's scheme for multidimensional diffusion processes. We reformulate the Heath-Platen estimator from the viewpoint of asymptotic expansion. The proposed scheme...
