The exposition in the book is accessible to a reader having basic mathematical knowledge. Trying to reduce the number of formal technichalities, the text introduces rapidly the main concepts, with all the necessary mathematical rigour. The first part of the book presents the elements of probability theory and the pricing theory in a discrete-market setting. In particular, the fundamental theorems of asset pricing are proved in detail, the binomial and trinomial models are analysed, and some approaches to the pricing problem in incomplete markets are touched upon. In the second part, stochastic calculus and stochastic integration theory are treated in detail. The classical Black&Scoles model is presented at first in a Markovian setting using an approach based upon partial differential equations. Then, after examining Girsanov's theorem, arbitrage pricing theory is seen from another perspective, that of martingale theory. Later on, stochastic differential equations are studied thoroughly, and their connection with parabolic partial differential equations, even degenerate, is examined. The tools that are introduced are used to discuss some recent volatility models which generalise the classical Black&Scholes analysis. Then a part of the book is devoted to the description of the classical numerical methods that are used in the pricing of derivatives: the Monte Carlo method, the binomial trees and finite difference schemes. The last chapter contains an introduction to Malliavin Calculus providing several examples of application to the computation of the Greeks.

Lo studio delle problematiche relative a tali strumenti richiede tecniche matematiche talvolta sofisticate di cui la maggior parte è legata alla teoria della Probabilità.
Il presente libro è inteso come testo per corsi di finanza matematica a livello di laurea triennale e nasce dall’esperienza d’insegnamento degli autori per tali corsi, con lo scopo di colmare una lacuna presente nell’attuale panorama nazionale e internazionale.
Benché concepito maggiormente per un corso di laurea in Matematica, esso si adatta anche a corsi di tipo quantitativo per le facoltà di Economia.
La struttura del testo, originata dall’idea di insegnare per esempi e contro-esempi, si è poi sviluppata in un testo completo che contiene anche la teoria. A differenza però di altre trattazioni teoriche, questo libro contiene numerosi esempi ed esercizi risolti.
Il testo è suddiviso in quattro parti in cui vengono trattati i seguenti argomenti: valutazione e copertura di derivati Europei, ottimizzazione di portafoglio (programmazione dinamica e metodi martingala), valutazione e copertura di derivati Americani, modelli multi-periodali per i tassi d’interesse.

In the case of Gaussian jumps, we provide an explicit approximation of the transition density of the underlying process by a heat kernel expansion: the approximation is derived in two ways, using PIDE techniques and working in the Fourier space. Our second and main result is an expansion of the characteristic function for a local volatility model with general Lévy jumps.

As it is well-known under the standard dynamically complete market hypotheses (see eg [5] Sects. 5.2 and 5.7) the forward price of an European option evolves according to a parabolic (possibly degenerate) partial differential equation.

More precisely, the model is formulated in terms of an obstacle problem associated to a Kolmogorov equation and the existence and uniqueness in the set of solutions with polynomial growth are obtained. Also some regularity properties of the solution are analyzed.

It is known that this model can potentially reproduce the observed smile and skew patterns of different directions, while preserving the completeness of the market. In order to quantitatively investigate the pricing performance of the model a calibration procedure is here derived. Numerical results based on S&P500 option prices give evidence of the effectiveness of the model.

Our main result is an expansion of the characteristic function which is worked out in the Fourier space. Combined with standard Fourier methods, our result provides efficient and accurate formulas for the prices and the Greeks of plain vanilla options. We finally provide numerical results to illustrate the accuracy with real market data.

More precisely, the benefits received by the member of the plan depend on the average salary and early retirement is allowed. Thus, the mathematical model is posed as an obstacle problem associated to a Kolmogorov equation in the time region where the salary is being averaged. Previously to the initial averaging date, a nonhomogeneous one factor Black-Scholes equation is posed.

The tool is useful for approximate pricing and hedging of financial derivatives and for maximum likelihood and method of moments estimates of diffusion parameters. The approximation is uniform with respect to time and space variables. Moreover, easily computable error bounds are available in any dimension.

Uno di questi è rappresentato dallo studio delle simmetrie, cioè di una particolare classe di trasformazioni che possiedano una certa struttura di gruppo (di Lie) e che ci permettano, a partire da una soluzione u, di trovare altre soluzioni mediante un'azione indotta su di essa.
