We consider a finite horizon discrete time model for bond market where bond prices are functions of the short rate process. We use a variant of the Ito's formula to decompose the bond price process into unique drift and martingale processes. We then apply the Girsanov's Theorem for finding a...

We consider American versions of multiple asset options when the underlying assets follow jump-diffusion processes, for example exchange options and max-options. We consider various representations of the option value and in particular apply Fourier transform techniques to the integro-partial...

The sine and cosine functions used as the bases in Fourier analysis are very smooth (infinitely differentiable) and very broad (nonzero almost everywhere on the real line), and hence they are not effective for representing functions that change abruptly (jumps) or have highly localized support...
