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.

Recent progress in the development of efficient computational algorithms to price financial derivatives is summarized. A first algorithm is based on a path integral approach to option pricing, while a second algorithm makes use of a neural network pa
rameterization of option prices. The accuracy of the two methods is established from comparisons with the results of the standard procedures used in quantitative finance.
We investigate pricing-hedging duality for American options in discrete time financial models where some assets are traded dynamically and others, e.g. a family of European options, only statically. In the first part of the paper we consider an abstr
act setting, which includes the classical case with a fixed reference probability measure as well as the robust framework with a non-dominated family of probability measures. Our first insight is that by considering a (universal) enlargement of the space, we can see American options as European options and recover the pricing-hedging duality, which may fail in the original formulation. This may be seen as a weak formulation of the original problem. Our second insight is that lack of duality is caused by the lack of dynamic consistency and hence a different enlargement with dynamic consistency is sufficient to recover duality: it is enough to consider (fictitious) extensions of the market in which all the assets are traded dynamically. In the second part of the paper we study two important examples of robust framework: the setup of Bouchard and Nutz (2015) and the martingale optimal transport setup of Beiglbock et al. (2013), and show that our general results apply in both cases and allow us to obtain pricing-hedging duality for American options.
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 fin
ancial 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.
In this paper, we consider the problem of equal risk pricing and hedging in which the fair price of an option is the price that exposes both sides of the contract to the same level of risk. Focusing for the first time on the context where risk is mea
sured according to convex risk measures, we establish that the problem reduces to solving independently the writer and the buyers hedging problem with zero initial capital. By further imposing that the risk measures decompose in a way that satisfies a Markovian property, we provide dynamic programming equations that can be used to solve the hedging problems for both the case of European and American options. All of our results are general enough to accommodate situations where the risk is measured according to a worst-case risk measure as is typically done in robust optimization. Our numerical study illustrates the advantages of equal risk pricing over schemes that only account for a single party, pricing based on quadratic hedging (i.e. $epsilon$-arbitrage pricing), or pricing based on a fixed equivalent martingale measure (i.e. Black-Scholes pricing). In particular, the numerical results confirm that when employing an equal risk price both the writer and the buyer end up being exposed to risks that are more similar and on average smaller than what they would experience with the other approaches.
This paper studies pricing derivatives in an age-dependent semi-Markov modulated market. We consider a financial market where the asset price dynamics follow a regime switching geometric Brownian motion model in which the coefficients depend on finit
ely many age-dependent semi-Markov processes. We further allow the volatility coefficient to depend on time explicitly. Under these market assumptions, we study locally risk minimizing pricing of a class of European options. It is shown that the price function can be obtained by solving a non-local B-S-M type PDE. We establish existence and uniqueness of a classical solution of the Cauchy problem. We also find another characterization of price function via a system of Volterra integral equation of second kind. This alternative representation leads to computationally efficient methods for finding price and hedging. Finally, we analyze the PDE to establish continuous dependence of the solution on the instantaneous transition rates of semi-Markov processes. An explicit expression of quadratic residual risk is also obtained.
