DUPIRE`S EQUATION FOR BUBBLES 1. Introduction Financial
... issues. As is well known for the corresponding Black-Scholes equation for bubbles, see [5], [8] or [10], special care is needed to ensure the uniqueness of solutions. We show that the option price is the unique classical solution of the Dupire equation with a bounded distance to the payoff function. ...

The Quote- Option and Stock
... • For short call spreads- roll once if the loss gets to 50% of the credit – This means the short idea is wrong for now and 1 roll is keeping the position manageable – Once at 50% of the credit twice exit and reevaluate (at this point 1.5 STDs in one direction) The exception is to take the short but ...

OPTION PRICING MODEL

Calibration of a jump-diffusion process using optimal control by Jonas Kiessling
... Here and for the rest of the paper we let Bt denote Brownian motion. This was the approach taken by Black and Scholes ([3]) and many others. The calibration problem is now reduced to determining one number σ. This simple model is still by far the most widely used, especially in the day-to-day pricin ...
