We give a rigorous proof of the representation of implied volatility as a time-average of weighted expectations of local or stochastic volatility. With this proof we fix the problem of a circular definition in the original derivation of Gatheral, who introduced the implied volatility...

This paper examines the performance from 1996 to 2020 of mean-variance efficient portfolios of monthly options with all available strikes on each of the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones indexes, using a constrained optimization approach that incorporates position limits, transaction costs, and...

We develop a new method to optimize portfolios of options in a market where European calls and puts are available with many exercise prices for each of several potentially correlated underlying assets. We identify the combination of asset-specific option payoffs that maximizes the Sharpe ratio...

We study discretizations of polynomial processes using finite state Markov processes satisfying suitable moment matching conditions. The states of these Markov processes together with their transition probabilities can be interpreted as Markov cubature rules. The polynomial property allows us to...

We model the dynamics of asset prices and associated derivatives by consideration of the dynamics of the conditional probability density process for the value of an asset at some specified time in the future. In the case where the asset is driven by Brownian motion, an associated "master...
