For a Gaussian process X and smooth function f, we consider a Stratonovich integral of f(X), defined as the weak limit, if it exists, of a sequence of Riemann sums. We give covariance conditions on X such that the sequence converges in law. This gives a change-of-variable formula in law with a...

In this article, a class of second-order differential equations on [0,1], driven by a γ-Hölder continuous function for any value of γ∈(0,1) and with multiplicative noise, is considered. We first show how to solve this equation in a pathwise manner, thanks to Young integration techniques. We...

The objective of the paper is to extend the results in Fournié, Lasry, Lions, Lebuchoux, and Touzi (1999), Cass and Fritz (2007) for continuous processes to jump processes based on the Bismut-Elworthy-Li (BEL) formula in Elworthy and Li (1994). We construct a jump process using a subordinated...

The main purpose of this paper is to derive unbiased Monte Carlo estimators of various sensitivity indices for an averaged asset price dynamics governed by the gamma Lévy process. The key idea is to apply a scaling property of the gamma process with respect to the Esscher density transform...

We propose a way to compute the hedging Delta using the Malliavin weight method. Our approach, which we name the l-method, generally outperforms the standard Monte Carlo finite difference method, especially for discontinuous payoffs. Furthermore, our approach is nonparametric, as we only assume...

Inspired by the article Weak Convergence Rate of a Time-Discrete Scheme for the Heston Stochastic Volatility Model, Chao Zheng, SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis 2017, 55:3, 1243-1263, we studied the weak error of discretization schemes for the Heston model, which are based on exact simulation...

Incomplete markets provide many challenges for both investment decisions and valuationproblems. While both problems have received extensive attention in complete markets,there remain many open areas in the theory of incomplete markets. We present the resultsin three parts. In the first essay we...
