We consider the valuation of contingent claims with delayed dynamics in a Black and Scholes complete market model. We find a pricing formula that can be decomposed into terms reflecting the current market values of the past and the future, showing how the valuation of future cashflows cannot...

We define a class of not necessarily linear C0-semigroups (Pt)t≥0 on Cb(E) (more generally, on Cκ(E):=1κCb(E), for some growth bounding continuous function κ) equipped with the mixed topology τM1 for a large class of topological state spaces E. In the linear case we prove that such...

A new modelling approach that directly prescribes dynamics to the term structure of VIX futures is proposed in this paper. The approach is motivated by the tractability enjoyed by models that directly prescribe dynamics to the VIX, practices observed in interest-rate modelling, and the desire to...

We derive the closed form pricing formulae for contracts written on zero coupon bonds for the lognormal forward LIBOR rates. The method is purely probabilistic in contrast with the earlier results obtained by Miltersen et al. (1997).

Let [mu](Y) and be the laws on of the Gaussian processeswhere K and are entire matrix valued mappings, and W is a Wiener process. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the mutual absolute continuity of [mu](Y) and . As a special case we study the problem of the mutual absolute...

A term structure model with lognormal type volatility structure is proposed. The Heath, Jarrow and Morton (HJM) framework, coupled with the theory of stochastic evolution equations in infinite dimensions, is used to show that the resulting rates are well defined (they do not explode) and remain...

For an arbitrary Hilbert space-valued Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process we construct the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridge connecting a given starting point x and an endpoint y provided y belongs to a certain linear subspace of full measure. We derive also a stochastic evolution equation satisfied by the OU...
