  4. 2. Optimal Stopping and Model Robustness in Mathematical Finance

    Author : Henrik Wanntorp; Johan Tysk; Svante Janson; Boualem Djehiche; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimal stopping; model robustness; American options; free boundary problems; hedging; option pricing; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : Optimal stopping and mathematical finance are intimately connected since the value of an American option is given as the solution to an optimal stopping problem. Such a problem can be viewed as a game in which we are trying to maximize an expected reward. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers and a summary. The common topic of the included papers are the pricing equations of path-dependent options. READ MORE

  6. 4. Essays on Lookback and Barrier Options - A Malliavin Calculus Approach

    Author : Hans-Peter Bermin; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Girsanov transformations.; lookback options; Contingent claims; barrier options; hedging; pricing; arbitrage; complete markets; self-financing portfolios; Black-Scholes formula; Clark-Ocone formula; Malliavin calculus; Financial science; Finansiering;

  7. 5. Selected Problems in Financial Mathematics

    Author : Erik Ekström; Johan Tysk; Svante Janson; Lane P. Hughston; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical analysis; American options; convexity; monotonicity in the volatility; robustness; optimal stopping; parabolic equations; free boundary problems; volatility; Russian options; game options; excessive functions; superreplication; smooth fit; Matematisk analys; Mathematical analysis; Analys;

    Abstract : This thesis, consisting of six papers and a summary, studies the area of continuous time financial mathematics. A unifying theme for many of the problems studied is the implications of possible mis-specifications of models. Intimately connected with this question is, perhaps surprisingly, convexity properties of option prices. READ MORE
