This paper considers the price at time zero of a contingent claim when the process is a diffusion/point process model . And we apply this price to European option.

In this paper, we observe the relation between the attainability of contingent claims and solutions of associated difference-differential equations. And we find the lower bound estimate of fair price using the minimax statistical approach.

In this paper we provide a valuation method for multi-asset derivatives with single jump regime-switching volatilities. We suppse that volatilities of assets are affected by an n-dimensional independent Markov regime-switching process.

In this paper we consider a security market whose asset price process is a vector semimartingale. The market is said to be fair if there exists an equivalent martingale measure for the price process, deflated by a numeraire asset. It is shown that the fairness of a market is invariant under the change of numeraire. As a consequence, we show that the characterization of the fairness of a market is reduced to the case where the deflated price process is bounded. In the latter case a theorem of Kreps (1981) has already solved the problem. By using a theorem of Delbaen and Schachermayer (1994) we obtain an intrinsic characterization of the fairness of a market, which is more intuitive than Kreps' theorem. It is shown that the arbitrage pricing of replicatable contingent claims is independent of the choice of numeraire and equivalent martingale measure. A sufficient condition for the fairness of a market, modeled by an Ito process, is given.

Every contingent claim is unable to be replicated in the incomplete markets. Shortfall risk is considered with some risk exposure. We show how the dynamic optimization problem with the capital constraint can be reduced to the problem to find an optimal modified claim $\tilde{\psi}H$ where$\tilde{\psi}H$ is a randomized test in the static problem. Convex and coherent risk measures defined in the Orlicz hearts spaces, $M^{\Phi}$, are used as risk measure. It can be shown that we have the same results as in [21, 22] even though convex and coherent risk measures defined in the Orlicz hearts spaces, $M^{\Phi}$, are used. In this paper, we use Fenchel duality Theorem in the literature to deduce necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for the static optimization problem using convex duality methods.

This paper studies the problem of option pricing in an incomplete market. The market incompleteness comes from the discontinuity of the underlying asset price process which is, in particular, assumed to be a compound Poisson process. To find a reasonable price for a European contingent claim, we first find the unique minimal martingale measure and get a price by taking an expectation of the payoff under this measure. To get a closed-form price, we use an asymptotic expansion. In case where the minimal martingale measure is a signed measure, we use a sequence of martingale measures (probability measures) that converges to the equivalent martingale measure in the limit to compute the price. Again, we get a closed form of asymptotic option price. It is the Black-Scholes price and a correction term, when the distribution of the return process has nonzero skewness up to the first order.

The Black-Scholes (BS) option pricing model is a landmark in contingent claim theory and has found wide acceptance in financial markets. However, it has a difficulty in the use of the model, because the volatility which is a nonlinear function of the other parameters must be estimated. The more accurately investors are able to estimate this value, the more accurate their estimates of theoretical option values will be. This paper proposes a new model which is based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for finding more precise theoretical values of options in the field of evolutionary computation (EC) than genetic algorithm (GA)or calculus-based search techniques to find estimates of the implied volatility.

Let $X\;=\;(X_t,\;t{\in}[0, T])$ be a generalized Brownian motion(gBm) determined by mean function a(t) and variance function b(t). Let $L^2({\mu})$ denote the Hilbert space of square integrable functionals of $X\;=\;(X_t - a(t),\; t {in} [0, T])$. In this paper we consider a class of nonlinear functionals of X of the form F(. + a) with $F{in}L^2({\mu})$ and discuss their analysis. Firstly, it is shown that such functionals do not enjoy, in general, the square integrability and Malliavin differentiability. Secondly, we establish regularity conditions on F for which F(.+ a) is in $L^2({\mu})$ and has its Malliavin derivative. Finally we apply these results to compute the price and the hedging portfolio of a contingent claim in our financial market model based on a gBm X.

The purpose of this paper is studying the valuation of option prices in Incomplete markets. A market is said to be incomplete if the given traded assets are insufficient to hedge a contingent claim. This situation occurs, for example, when the underlying stock process follows jump-diffusion processes. Due to the jump part, it is impossible to construct a hedging portfolio with stocks and riskless assets. Contrary to the case of a complete market in which only one equivalent martingale measure exists, there are infinite numbers of equivalent martingale measures in an incomplete market. Our research here is focusing on risk minimizing hedging strategy and its associated minimal martingale measure under the jump-diffusion processes. Based on this risk minimizing hedging strategy, we characterize the dynamics of a risky asset and derive the valuation formula for an option price. The main contribution of this paper is to obtain an analytical formula for a European option price under the jump-diffusion processes using the minimal martingale measure.
