  2. Black–Scholes model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackScholes_model

    From the parabolic partial differential equation in the model, known as the Black–Scholes equation, one can deduce the Black–Scholes formula, which gives a theoretical estimate of the price of European-style options and shows that the option has a unique price given the risk of the security and its expected return (instead replacing the ...

  3. Black–Scholes equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackScholes_equation

    Black and Scholes' insight was that the portfolio represented by the right-hand side is riskless: thus the equation says that the riskless return over any infinitesimal time interval can be expressed as the sum of theta and a term incorporating gamma.

  4. Black model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_model

    The Black model (sometimes known as the Black-76 model) is a variant of the Black–Scholes option pricing model. Its primary applications are for pricing options on future contracts, bond options, interest rate cap and floors, and swaptions. It was first presented in a paper written by Fischer Black in 1976.

  5. Stochastic volatility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_volatility

    This basic model with constant volatility is the starting point for non-stochastic volatility models such as Black–Scholes model and Cox–Ross–Rubinstein model. For a stochastic volatility model, replace the constant volatility σ {\displaystyle \sigma } with a function ν t {\displaystyle \nu _{t}} that models the variance of S t ...

  6. Finite difference methods for option pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_methods...

    The discrete difference equations may then be solved iteratively to calculate a price for the option. [4] The approach arises since the evolution of the option value can be modelled via a partial differential equation (PDE), as a function of (at least) time and price of underlying; see for example the Black–Scholes PDE. Once in this form, a ...

  7. Vanna–Volga pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanna–Volga_pricing

    It consists of adjusting the Black–Scholes theoretical value (BSTV) by the cost of a portfolio which hedges three main risks associated to the volatility of the option: the Vega, the Vanna and the Volga. The Vanna is the sensitivity of the Vega with respect to a change in the spot FX rate:

  8. In Pursuit of the Unknown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Pursuit_of_the_Unknown

    In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World is a 2012 nonfiction book by British mathematician Ian Stewart FRS CMath FIMA, published by Basic Books. [3] In the book, Stewart traces the history of the role of mathematics in human history, beginning with the Pythagorean theorem (Pythagorean equation) [4] to the equation that transformed twenty-first century financial markets ...

  9. Volatility smile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_smile

    A related concept is that of term structure of volatility, which describes how (implied) volatility differs for related options with different maturities. An implied volatility surface is a 3-D plot that plots volatility smile and term structure of volatility in a consolidated three-dimensional surface for all options on a given underlying asset.
