Replacing Black-Scholes driving process, Brownian motion, with fractional Brownian motion allows for incorporation of a past dependency of stock prices but faces a few major downfalls, including the occurrence of arbitrage when implemented in the financial market. We present the development, testing, and implementation of a simplified alternative to using fractional Brownian motion for pricing derivatives. By relaxing the assumption of past independence of Brownian motion but retaining the Markovian property, we are developing a competing model that retains the mathematical simplicity of the standard Black-Scholes model but also has the improved accuracy of allowing for past dependence. This is achieved by replacing Black-Scholes underlying process, Brownian motion, with a particular Gaussian Markov process, proposed by Vladimir Dobri{c} and Francisco Ojeda.

This study deals with the problem of pricing compound options when the underlying asset follows a mixed fractional Brownian motion with jumps. An analytic formula for compound options is derived under the risk neutral measure. Then, these results are applied to value extendible options. Moreover, some special cases of the formula are discussed and numerical results are provided.
In this paper we propose an extension of the Merton model. We apply the subdiffusive mechanism to analyze equity warrant in a fractional Brownian motion environment, when the short rate follows the subdiffusive fractional Black-Scholes model. We obtain the pricing formula for zero-coupon bond in the introduced model and derive the partial differential equation with appropriate boundary conditions for the valuation of equity warrant. Finally, the pricing formula for equity warrant is provided under subdiffusive fractional Brownian motion model of the short rate.
We shall study backward stochastic differential equations and we will present a new approach for the existence of the solution. This type of equation appears very often in the valuation of financial derivatives in complete markets. Therefore, the identification of the solution as the unique element in a certain Banach space where a suitably chosen functional attains its minimum becomes interesting for numerical computations.
In a multi-dimensional diffusion framework, the price of a financial derivative can be expressed as an iterated conditional expectation, where the inner conditional expectation conditions on the future of an auxiliary process that enters into the dynamics for the spot. Inspired by results from non-linear filtering theory, we show that this inner conditional expectation solves a backward SPDE (a so-called `conditional Feynman-Kac formula), thereby establishing a connection between SPDE and derivative pricing theory. The benefits of this representation are potentially significant and of both theoretical and practical interest. In particular, this representation leads to an alternative class of so-called mixed Monte-Carlo / PDE numerical methods.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problem of option pricing when the short rate follows subdiffusive fractional Merton model. We incorporate the stochastic nature of the short rate in our option valuation model and derive explicit formula for call and put option and discuss the corresponding fractional Black-Scholes equation. We present some properties of this pricing model for the cases of $alpha$ and $H$. Moreover, the numerical simulations illustrate that our model is flexible and easy to implement.
