Quasi-Monte Carlo for Efficient Fourier Pricing of Multi-Asset Options

1 code implementation5 Mar 2024 Christian Bayer, Chiheb Ben Hammouda, Antonis Papapantoleon, Michael Samet, Raúl Tempone

Nonetheless, the applicability of RQMC on the unbounded domain, $\mathbb{R}^d$, requires a domain transformation to $[0, 1]^d$, which may result in singularities of the transformed integrand at the corners of the hypercube, and deteriorate the rate of convergence of RQMC.

Primal and dual optimal stopping with signatures

no code implementations6 Dec 2023 Christian Bayer, Luca Pelizzari, John Schoenmakers

We propose two signature-based methods to solve the optimal stopping problem - that is, to price American options - in non-Markovian frameworks.

Efficient option pricing in the rough Heston model using weak simulation schemes

no code implementations6 Oct 2023 Christian Bayer, Simon Breneis

We provide an efficient and accurate simulation scheme for the rough Heston model in the standard ($H>0$) as well as the hyper-rough regime ($H > -1/2$).

Weak Markovian Approximations of Rough Heston

no code implementations13 Sep 2023 Christian Bayer, Simon Breneis

The rough Heston model is a very popular recent model in mathematical finance; however, the lack of Markov and semimartingale properties poses significant challenges in both theory and practice.

Rough PDEs for local stochastic volatility models

no code implementations18 Jul 2023 Peter Bank, Christian Bayer, Peter K. Friz, Luca Pelizzari

In this work, we introduce a novel pricing methodology in general, possibly non-Markovian local stochastic volatility (LSV) models.

First, we smooth the Fourier integrand via an optimized choice of the damping parameters based on a proposed optimization rule.

We study the weak convergence rate in the discretization of rough volatility models.

A Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space approach to singular local stochastic volatility McKean-Vlasov models

no code implementations2 Mar 2022 Christian Bayer, Denis Belomestny, Oleg Butkovsky, John Schoenmakers

Motivated by the challenges related to the calibration of financial models, we consider the problem of numerically solving a singular McKean-Vlasov equation $$ d X_t= \sigma(t, X_t) X_t \frac{\sqrt v_t}{\sqrt {E[v_t|X_t]}}dW_t, $$ where $W$ is a Brownian motion and $v$ is an adapted diffusion process.

1 code implementation19 Jan 2022 Christian Bayer, Peter K. Friz, Nikolas Tapia

Using rough path techniques, we provide a priori estimates for the output of Deep Residual Neural Networks in terms of both the input data and the (trained) network weights.

Numerical Smoothing with Hierarchical Adaptive Sparse Grids and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods for Efficient Option Pricing

no code implementations2 Nov 2021 Christian Bayer, Chiheb Ben Hammouda, Raúl Tempone

When approximating the expectations of a functional of a solution to a stochastic differential equation, the numerical performance of deterministic quadrature methods, such as sparse grid quadrature and quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, may critically depend on the regularity of the integrand.

To remedy this, we study approximations of stochastic Volterra equations using an $N$-dimensional diffusion process defined as solution to a system of ordinary stochastic differential equation.

Weak error rates for option pricing under linear rough volatility

1 code implementation2 Sep 2020 Christian Bayer, Eric Joseph Hall, Raúl Tempone

We prove rate $H + 1/2$ for the weak convergence of the Euler method for the rough Stein-Stein model, which treats the volatility as a linear function of the driving fractional Brownian motion, and, surprisingly, we prove rate one for the case of quadratic payoff functions.

Log-modulated rough stochastic volatility models

no code implementations7 Aug 2020 Christian Bayer, Fabian Andsem Harang, Paolo Pigato

We propose a new class of rough stochastic volatility models obtained by modulating the power-law kernel defining the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) by a logarithmic term, such that the kernel retains square integrability even in the limit case of vanishing Hurst index $H$.

Multilevel Monte Carlo with Numerical Smoothing for Robust and Efficient Computation of Probabilities and Densities

This study is motivated by the computation of probabilities of events, pricing options with a discontinuous payoff, and density estimation problems for dynamics where the discretization of the underlying stochastic processes is necessary.

Deep calibration of rough stochastic volatility models

no code implementations8 Oct 2018 Christian Bayer, Benjamin Stemper

Sparked by Al\`os, Le\'on, and Vives (2007); Fukasawa (2011, 2017); Gatheral, Jaisson, and Rosenbaum (2018), so-called rough stochastic volatility models such as the rough Bergomi model by Bayer, Friz, and Gatheral (2016) constitute the latest evolution in option price modeling.

Pricing American Options by Exercise Rate Optimization

no code implementations19 Sep 2018 Christian Bayer, Raúl Tempone, Sören Wolfers

Numerical experiments on vanilla put options in the multivariate Black-Scholes model and a preliminary theoretical analysis underline the efficiency of our method, both with respect to the number of time-discretization steps and the required number of degrees of freedom in the parametrization of the exercise rates.
