A Sequential Quadratic Programming Method for Volatility Estimation in Option Pricing
Our goal is to identify the volatility function in Dupire’s equation from given option prices. Following an optimal control approach in a Lagrangian framework, we propose a globalized sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm with a modified Hessian – to ensure that every SQP step is a descent direction – and implement a line search strategy. In each level of the SQP method a linear–quad...
متن کاملOption pricing with quadratic volatility: a revisit
This paper considers the pricing of European options on assets that follow a stochastic differential equation with a quadratic volatility term. We correct several errors in the existing literature, extend the pricing formulas to arbitrary root configurations, and list alternative representations of option pricing formulas to improve computational performance. Our exposition is based entirely on...
متن کاملThe Sequential Quadratic Programming Method
Sequential (or Successive) Quadratic Programming (SQP) is a technique for the solution of Nonlinear Programming (NLP) problems. It is, as we shall see, an idealized concept, permitting and indeed necessitating many variations and modifications before becoming available as part of a reliable and efficient production computer code. In this monograph we trace the evolution of the SQP method throug...
متن کاملDiscrete time option pricing with flexible volatility estimation
By extending the GARCH option pricing model of Duan (1995) to more exible volatility estimation it is shown that the prices of out-of-the-money options strongly depend on volatility features such as asymmetry. Results are provided for the properties of the stationary pricing distribution in the case of a threshold GARCH model. For a stock index series with a pronounced leverage eeect, simulated...
متن کاملOption pricing with fractional volatility
Based on empirical market data, a stochastic volatility model is proposed with volatility driven by fractional noise. The model is used to obtain a risk-neutrality option pricing formula and an option pricing equation.
