This paper reports on the development of a two-dimensional, fully nonlinear Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to analyse the efficiency of fixed Oscillating Water Column (OWC) Wave Energy Conversion (WEC) devices with linear power take off systems. The model was validated against previous...

Simple analytical solutions for the prices of discretely monitored barrier options do not yet exist in the literature. This paper presents a semi-analytical and fully explicit solution for pricing discretely monitored barrier options when the underlying asset is driven by a general Lévy...

In this paper, we present a new approach with which American option price under a general regime-switching model with an arbitrary finite number of economic states can be efficiently computed without solving a system of $n$ differential equations simultaneously. Comparing with all the existing...

This paper is an extension to a recent paper Zhu and Lian (2009), in which a closed-form exact solution was presented for the price of variance swaps with a particular definition of the realized variance. Here, we further demonstrate that our approach is quite versatile and can be used for other...

In this study we present a closed-form, exact solution for the pricing of VIX futures in a stochastic volatility model with simultaneous jumps in both the asset price and volatility processes. The newly derived formula is then used to show that the well-known convexity correction approximations...
