We consider a general local-stochastic volatility model and an investor with exponential utility. For a European-style contingent claim, whose payoff may depend on either a traded or non-traded asset, we derive an explicit approximation for both the buyer's and seller's indifference price. For European calls on a trade…

We derive the implied volatility estimation formula in European power call options pricing, where the payoff functions are in the form of V=(STαK)+V=(S^α_T-K)^{+} and V=(STαKα)+V=(S^α_T-K^α)^{+} (α>0α>0)respectively. Using quadratic Taylor approximations, We develop the computing formula of implied volatility in European power call op…

Specifically we assume that the American put must be exercised at either T1T_1 or T2T_2 and that we know the prices of all vanilla European puts with th…

A stochastic model for pure-jump diffusion (the compound renewal process) can be used as a zero-order approximation and as a phenomenological description of tick-by-tick price fluctuations. This leads to an exact and explicit general formula for the martingale price of a European call option. A complete derivation of t…

We consider the pricing of American put options in a model-independent setting: that is, we do not assume that asset prices behave according to a given model, but aim to draw conclusions that hold in any model. We incorporate market information by supposing that the prices of European options are known. In this setting…
