Asymptotics for Exponential Levy Processes and Their Volatility Smile: Survey and New Results

Some New Characterization Results on Exponential and Related Distributions

Regular Variation and Smile Asymptotics

We consider risk-neutral returns and show how their tail asymptotics translate directly to asymptotics of the implied volatility smile, thereby sharpening Roger Lee’s celebrated moment formula. The theory of regular variation provides the ideal mathematical framework to formulate and prove such results. The practical value of our formulae comes from the vast literature on tail asymptotics and o...

global results on some nonlinear partial differential equations for direct and inverse problems

در این رساله به بررسی رفتار جواب های رده ای از معادلات دیفرانسیل با مشتقات جزیی در دامنه های کراندار می پردازیم . این معادلات به فرم نیم-خطی و غیر خطی برای مسایل مستقیم و معکوس مورد مطالعه قرار می گیرند . به ویژه، تاثیر شرایط مختلف فیزیکی را در مساله، نظیر وجود موانع و منابع، پراکندگی و چسبندگی در معادلات موج و گرما بررسی می کنیم و به دنبال شرایطی می گردیم که متضمن وجود سراسری یا عدم وجود سراسر...

Risk measurement and Implied volatility under Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure for Levy process

This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain   risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...

Tail asymptotics for exponential functionals of Lévy processes

Motivated by recent studies in financial mathematics and other areas, we investigate the exponential functional Z = ∫∞ 0 e−X(t)dt of a Lévy process X(t), t ≥ 0. In particular, we investigate its tail asymptotics. It is shown that, depending on the right tail of X(1), the tail behavior of Z is exponential, Pareto, or extremely heavy-tailed.
