L Alili, AE Kyprianou - 2005 - projecteuclid.org
The purpose of this article is to provide, with the help of a fluctuation identity, a generic link
between a number of known identities for the first passage time and overshoot above/below …

Fast and accurate pricing of barrier options under Lévy processes

O Kudryavtsev, S Levendorskiǐ - Finance and Stochastics, 2009 - Springer
We suggest two new fast and accurate methods, the fast Wiener–Hopf (FWH) method and
the iterative Wiener–Hopf (IWH) method, for pricing barrier options for a wide class of Lévy …

Efficient evaluation of expectations of functions of a L\'evy process and its extremum

S Boyarchenko, S Levendorskiĭ - arxiv preprint arxiv:2207.02793, 2022 - arxiv.org
We prove simple general formulas for expectations of functions of a L\'evy process and its
running extremum. Under additional conditions, we derive analytical formulas using the …

Monte Carlo method for pricing lookback type options in Lévy models

OE Kudryavtsev, AS Grechko, IE Mamedov - Theory of Probability & Its …, 2024 - SIAM
We construct a universal Monte Carlo method for pricing the options whose payout function
depends on the final position of the extremum of the Lévy process. The proposed method is …

American options in regime-switching models

S Boyarchenko, S Levendorskii - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2009 - SIAM
The pricing problem for American options in Markov-modulated Lévy models is solved. The
early exercise boundaries and prices are calculated using a generalization of Carr's …

S Boyarchenko, S Levendorskiĭ - arxiv preprint arxiv:2207.02858, 2022 - arxiv.org
We prove simple general formulas for expectations of functions of a random walk and its
running extremum. Under additional conditions, we derive analytical formulas using the …

Valuation of continuously monitored double barrier options and related securities

M Boyarchenko, S Levendorskiĭ - Mathematical Finance: An …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we apply Carr's randomization approximation and the operator form of the
Wiener‐Hopf method to double barrier options in continuous time. Each step in the resulting …

Efficient evaluation of expectations of functions of a stable L\'evy process and its extremum

S Boyarchenko, S Levendorskiĭ - arxiv preprint arxiv:2209.12349, 2022 - arxiv.org
Integral representations for expectations of functions of a stable L\'evy process $ X $ and its
supremum $\bar X $ are derived. As examples, cumulative probability distribution functions …

Advantages of the Laplace transform approach in pricing first touch digital options in Lévy-driven models

O Kudryavtsev - Boletin de la Sociedad Matematica Mexicana, 2016 - Springer
Motivated by the pricing of first touch digital options in exponential Lévy models and
corresponding credit risk applications, we study numerical methods for solving related …

Early exercise boundary and option prices in Lévy driven models

SZ Levendorskiǐ - Quantitative Finance, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
Pricing and hedging of European, American, barrier options and interest rate derivatives for
wide classes of Lévy driven models is considered in situations where qualitative and …
