The paper models financial asset prices with jumps and evaluates European option prices using numerical methods.
problem Modeling and pricing European options with jumps in delayed stochastic systems.
method Existence, uniqueness, and positivity of solutions to delayed stochastic differential equations with jumps. Application of Fourier transformation for analytical pricing and Monte-Carlo simulation with a logarithmic Euler-Maruyama scheme for numerical approximation.
result The logarithmic Euler-Maruyama scheme provides a positive and convergent method for approximating the solution to the delayed stochastic differential equations with jumps.
Motivated by weak convergence results in the paper of Takahashi and Yoshida (2005), we show strong convergence for an accelerated Euler-Maruyama scheme applied to perturbed stochastic differential equations. The Milstein scheme with the same acceleration is also discussed as an extended result. The theoretical results …
In the present paper, we introduce a numerical scheme for the price of a barrier option when the price of the underlying follows a diffusion process. The numerical scheme is based on an extension of a static hedging formula of barrier options. For getting the static hedging formula, the underlying process needs to have…
We consider a class of stochastic path-dependent volatility models where the stochastic volatility, whose square follows the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model, is multiplied by a (leverage) function of the spot price, its running maximum, and time. We propose a Monte Carlo simulation scheme which combines a log-Euler scheme for…
Asymptotic error distribution for approximation of a stochastic integral with respect to continuous semimartingale by Riemann sum with general stochastic partition is studied. Effective discretization schemes of which asymptotic conditional mean-squared error attains a lower bound are constructed. Two applications are …
We consider the approximation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with non-Lipschitz drift or diffusion coefficients. We present a modified explicit Euler-Maruyama discretisation scheme that allows us to prove strong convergence, with a rate. Under some regularity and integrability conditions, we obtain the opt…
We consider a discrete-time approximation of paths of an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process as a mean for estimation of a price of European call option in the model of financial market with stochastic volatility. The Euler--Maruyama approximation scheme is implemented. We determine the estimates for the option price for prede…
We analyze exponential integrability properties of the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process and its Euler discretizations with various types of truncation and reflection at 0. These properties play a key role in establishing the finiteness of moments and the strong convergence of numerical approximations for a class of sto…
We consider the stochastic volatility model dSt=σtStdWt,dσt=ωσtdZt, with (Wt,Zt) uncorrelated standard Brownian motions. This is a special case of the Hull-White and the β=1 (log-normal) SABR model, which are widely used in financial practice. We study the properties of this model, discretized in …

We develop and study stability properties of a hybrid approximation of functionals of the Bates jump model with stochastic interest rate that uses a tree method in the direction of the volatility and the interest rate and a finite-difference approach in order to handle the underlying asset price process. We also propos…
Sampling with Markov chain Monte Carlo methods often amounts to discretizing some continuous-time dynamics with numerical integration. In this paper, we establish the convergence rate of sampling algorithms obtained by discretizing smooth Itô diffusions exhibiting fast Wasserstein-2 contraction, based on local deviat…

result Proves dimension-uniform KL bounds for the exponential-integrator scheme, allowing arbitrarily small divergence with dimension.
We analyze the problem of the analytical characterization of the probability distribution of financial returns in the exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model with stochastic volatility. In this model the prices are driven by a Geometric Brownian motion, whose diffusion coefficient is expressed through an exponential funct…
The CEV model is given by the stochastic differential equation Xt=X0+∫0tμXsds+∫0tσ(Xs+)pdWs, 21≤p<1. It features a non-Lipschitz diffusion coefficient and gets absorbed at zero with a positive probability. We show the weak convergence of Euler-Maruyama approximations Xtn to the proc…
The analysis of manifold-valued data requires efficient tools from Riemannian geometry to cope with the computational complexity at stake. This complexity arises from the always-increasing dimension of the data, and the absence of closed-form expressions to basic operations such as the Riemannian logarithm. In this pap…
We develop a general theory of log spaces, in which one can make sense of the basic notions of logarithmic geometry, in the sense of Fontaine-Illusie-Kato. Many of our general constructions with log spaces are new, even in the algebraic setting. In the differentiable setting, our theory yields a framework for treating …
We study the problem of adaptive control of a high dimensional linear quadratic (LQ) system. Previous work established the asymptotic convergence to an optimal controller for various adaptive control schemes. More recently, for the average cost LQ problem, a regret bound of O(T) was shown, apart form logarit…
