Option pricing in fractional models
Get PDFThis thesis deals with application of the fractional Black-Scholes and mixed fractional Black-Scholes models to evaluate different type of options. These assessments are considered in four individual papers. In the first articles, the problem of geometric Asian and power options pricing is investigated when the stock price follows a time changed mixed fractional model. In this model, an inverse subordinator process in the mixed fractional Black-Scholes model replaces the physical time. The aim of the third paper is to evaluate the European currency option in a fractional Brownian motion environment by the time-changed strategy. Also, the impact of time step and long range dependence are obtained under transaction costs.
Conditional mean hedging under fractional Black-Scholes model is the propose of the second article. The conditional mean hedge of the European vanilla type option with convex or concave positive payoff under transaction costs is obtained. In the fourth article, the mixed fractional Brownian motion with jump process are incorporated to analyze European options in discrete time case. By a mean delta hedging strategy, the pricing model is proposed for European option under transaction costs.Väitöskirja tarkastelee fraktionaalisen Black–Scholes -mallin ja sekoitetun fraktionallisen Black–Scholes -mallin käyttöä erityyppisten optioiden arvottamisessa. Tätä tutkitaan neljässä artikkelissa. Ensimmäisessä artikkelissa tarkastellaan geometrisia aasialaisia optioita ja potenssioptioita, kun osakehinta noudattaa aikamuunnettua sekoitettua fraktionaalista mallia. Tässä mallissa sekoitun fraktionaalisen Black–Scholes -mallin käänteinen subordinaattoriprosessi korvaa fysikaalisen ajan. Kolmannen artikkelin tarkoitus on hinnoitella eurooppalainen valuuttaoptio fraktionaalisen Brownin liikkeen mallissa aikamuunnetulla strategialla. Lisäksi aika-askeleen ja pitkän aikavälin riippuvuuden vaikutusta tutkitaan transaktiokulujen alaisuudessa.
Ehdollinen keskiarvosuojaaminen fraktionaalisessa Black–Sholes -mallissa on toisen artikkelin aihe. Ehdollinen keskiarvosuojaus eurooppalaiselle vaniljaoptiolle, jolla on konveksi tai konkaavi positiivinen tuottofunktio transaktiokulujen vallitessa, on artikkelin päätulos. Neljännessä artikkelissa tutkitaan eurooppalaisia optioita diskreetissä ajassa mallissa, joka on hypyllinen sekoitettu fraktionaalinen Brownin liike. Käyttäen keskiarvoista deltasuojausstrategiaa artikkelissa johdetaan hinnoittelumalli eurooppalaisille optioille transaktiokulujen vallitessa.fi=vertaisarvioitu|en=peerReviewed|ei tietoa saavutettavuudest
Mixed fractional Merton model to evaluate European options with transaction costs
Get PDFThis paper deals with the problem of discrete-time option pricing by the mixed fractional version of Merton model with transaction costs. By a mean-self-financing delta hedging argument in a discrete-time setting, a European call option pricing formula is obtained. We also investigate the effect of the time-step δt and the Hurst parameter H on our pricing option model, which reveals that these parameters have high impact on option pricing. The properties of this model are also explained.fi=vertaisarvioitu|en=peerReviewed
The Valuation of European Option Under Subdiffusive Fractional Brownian Motion of the Short Rate
Get PDFIn this paper, we propose an extension of the Merton model. We apply the subdiffusive mechanism to analyze European option in a fractional Black–Scholes environment, when the short rate follows the subdiffusive fractional Black–Scholes model. We derive a pricing formula for call and put options and discuss the corresponding fractional Black–Scholes equation. We present some features of our model pricing model for the cases of α and H.© World Scientific Publishing Company, https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/ijtaf.fi=vertaisarvioitu|en=peerReviewed
Pricing currency options by generalizations of the mixed fractional brownian motion
Get PDFOption pricing is an active area in financial industry. The value of option pricing is
usually obtained by means of a mathematical option pricing model. Since fractional
Brownian motion and mixed fractional Brownian motion processes have some important
features in order to get typical tail behavior from financial markets, such as:
self-similarity and long-range dependence, they can play a significant role in pricing
European option and European currency options. In this thesis, some extensions of
the mixed fractional Brownian motion model are proposed to wider classes of pricing
options systems.
In Chapter 3, a new framework for pricing the European currency option is developed
in the case where the spot exchange rate follows a mixed fractional Brownian motion
with jumps. An analytic formula for pricing European foreign currency options is
proposed using the equivalent martingale measure. For the purpose of understanding
the pricing model, some properties of this pricing model are discussed in Chapter
3 as well. Furthermore, the actuarial approach to pricing currency options which
transform option pricing into a problem of equivalent of fair insurance premium is
introduced.
In addition, in Chapter 4, the problem of discrete time option pricing by the mixed
fractional Brownian model with transaction costs using a mean self-financing delta
hedging argument is considered in a discrete time setting. A European call currency
option pricing formula is then obtained. In particular, the minimal pricing of an
option under transaction costs is obtained, which shows that time step dt and Hurst
exponent H play an important role in option pricing with transaction costs.
Finally, Chapter 5 considers the problem of discrete time option pricing by a mixed fractional subdiffusive Black-Scholes model. Under the assumption that the price of
the underlying stock follows a time-changed mixed fractional Brownian motion, a
pricing formula for the European call option and European call currency option is
derived in a discrete time setting with transaction costs
Fractional delta hedging strategy for pricing currency options with transaction costs
Get PDFThis study deals with the problem of pricing European currency options in discrete time setting, whose prices follow the fractional Black Scholes model with transaction costs. Both the pricing formula and the fractional partial differential equation for European call currency options are obtained by applying the delta-hedging strategy. Some Greeks and the estimator of volatility are
also provided. The empirical studies and the simulation findings show that the fractional Black Scholes with transaction costs is a satisfactory model.fi=vertaisarvioitu|en=peerReviewed
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Discretization of integrals driven by multifractional Brownian motions with discontinuous integrands
Get PDFWe establish the rate of convergence in the L1 -norm for equidistant approximations of stochastic integrals with discontinuous integrands driven by multifractional Brownian motion. Our findings extend the known results for the case when the driver is a fractional Brownian motion.© The Author(s) 2025.

Long-range dependent completely correlated mixed fractional Brownian motion
Get PDFIn this paper we introduce the long-range dependent completely correlated mixed fractional Brownian motion (ccmfBm). This is a process that is driven by a mixture of Brownian motion (Bm) and a long-range dependent completely correlated fractional Brownian motion (fBm, ccfBm) that is constructed from the Brownian motion via the Molchan–Golosov representation. Thus, there is a single Bm driving the mixed process. In the short time-scales the ccmfBm behaves like the Bm (it has Brownian Hölder index and quadratic variation). However, in the long time-scales it behaves like the fBm (it has long-range dependence governed by the fBms Hurst index). We provide a transfer principle for the ccmfBm and use it to construct the Cameron–Martin–Girsanov–Hitsuda theorem and prediction formulas. Finally, we illustrate the ccmfBm by simulations.© 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
