A Study of Option Pricing Models – Lognormal or Hyperbolic Levy ? By Chen Chen This paper is an investigation into two option pricing models: widely-used Black-Scholes model and one of its augmented extensions – hyperbolic Levy model. Firstly, we have a detailed discussion about the celebrated Black-Scholes model. However, clearly there are many deficiencies in Black-Scholes assumptions. In ord...

The interest of professional investors in financial derivatives on the Croatian market is steadily increasing and trading is expected to start after the establishment of the legal framework. The quantification of the fair price of such financial instruments is therefore becoming increasingly important. Once the derivatives market is formed, the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model is a...

This paper considers the pricing of a European option using a B, S -market in which the stock price and the asset in the riskless bank account both have hereditary price structures described by the authors of this paper 1999 . Under the smoothness assumption of the payoff function, it is shown that the infinite dimensional Black-Scholes equation possesses a unique classical solution. A spectral...

In this paper an arbitrage strategy is constructed for the modified Black-Scholes model driven by fractional Brownian motion or by a time changed fractional Brownian motion, when the volatility is stochastic. This latter property allows the heavy tailedness of the log returns of the stock prices to be also accounted for in addition to the long range dependence introduced by the fractional Brown...

in this paper, a new identification of the lagrange multipliers by means of the sumudu transform, is employed to  btain a quick and accurate solution to the fractional black-scholes equation with the initial condition for a european option pricing problem. undoubtedly this model is the most well known model for pricing financial derivatives. the fractional derivatives is described in caputo sen...
