This paper proposes a unified approximation method for various options whose payoffs depend on the volume weighted average price (VWAP). Despite their popularity in practice, quite few pricing models have been developed in the literature. Also, in previous works, the underlying asset process has...

This paper proposes an efficient method for calculating European option prices under local, stochastic, and fractional volatility models. Instead of directly calculating the density function of a target underlying asset, we replicate it from a simpler diffusion process with a known analytical...

In the option pricing literature, it is well known that:(i) the decrease in the smile amplitude is much slower than standard stochastic volatility models and, (ii) the term structure of the at-the-money volatility skew is approximated by a power-law function with the exponent close to zero....
