Local times for typical price paths and pathwise Tanaka formulas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following a hedging based approach to model free financial mathematics, we prove that it should be possible to make an arbitrarily large profit by investing in those one-dimensional paths which do not possess local times. The local time is constructed from discrete approximations, and it is shown that it is α-Hölder continuous for all α < 1/2. Additionally, we provide various generalizations of Föllmer’s pathwise Itô formula.

Pathwise no-arbitrage in a class of Delta hedging strategies
We consider a strictly pathwise setting for Delta hedging exotic options, based on Föllmer’s pathwise Itô calculus. Price trajectories are d-dimensional continuous functions whose pathwise quadratic variations and covariations are determined by a given local volatility matrix. The existence of Delta hedging strategies in this pathwise setting is established via existence results for recursive s...
متن کاملChange of Variable Formulas for Non-anticipative Functionals on Path Space
We derive a change of variable formula for non-anticipative functionals defined on the space of Rd -valued right-continuous paths with left limits. The functionals are only required to possess certain directional derivatives, which may be computed pathwise. Our results lead to functional extensions of the Itô formula for a large class of stochastic processes, including semimartingales and Diric...

متن کاملRough paths in idealized financial markets
This paper considers possible price paths of a financial security in an idealized market. Its main result is that the variation index of typical price paths is at most 2; in this sense, typical price paths are not rougher than typical paths of Brownian motion. We do not make any stochastic assumptions and only assume that the price path is right-continuous. The qualification “typical” means tha...
متن کاملClosed formulas for the price and sensitivities of European options under a double exponential jump diffusion model
We derive closed formulas for the prices of European options andtheir sensitivities when the underlying asset follows a double-exponentialjump diffusion model, as considered by S. Kou in 2002. This author hasderived the option price by making use of double series where each termrequires the computation of a sequence of special functions, such thatthe implementation remains difficult for a large...
