TL;DR: In this article, a generalization of the Black-Scholes model is proposed to capture the subdiffusive nature of an asset price dynamics, which is shown to be arbitrage-free.
Abstract: In this paper we consider a generalization of one of the earliest models of an asset price, namely the Black–Scholes model, which captures the subdiffusive nature of an asset price dynamics. We introduce the geometric Brownian motion time-changed by infinitely divisible inverse subordinators, to reflect underlying anomalous diffusion mechanism. In the proposed model the waiting times (periods when the asset price stays motionless) are modeled by general class of infinitely divisible distributions. We find the corresponding Fractional Fokker–Planck equation governing the probability density function of the introduced process. We prove that considered model is arbitrage-free, construct corresponding martingale measure and show that the model is incomplete. We also find formulas for values of European call and put option prices in subdiffusive Black–Scholes model and show how one can approximate them based on Monte Carlo methods. We present some Monte Carlo simulations for the particular case of tempered alpha-stable distribution of waiting times. We compare obtained results with the classical and subdiffusive alpha-stable Black–Scholes prices.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce subordinated fractional L?vy-stable motion with tempered stable waiting times, and propose a simulation scheme and an estimation procedure for its parameters via the Monte Carlo approach.
Abstract: Two phenomena that can be discovered in systems with anomalous diffusion are long-range dependence and trapping events. The first effect concerns events that are arbitrarily distant but still influence each other exceptionally strongly, which is characteristic for anomalous regimes. The second corresponds to the presence of constant values of the underlying process. Motivated by the relatively poor class of models that can cover these two phenomena, we introduce subordinated fractional L?vy-stable motion with tempered stable waiting times. We present in detail its main properties, propose a simulation scheme and give an estimation procedure for its parameters. The last part of the paper is a presentation, via the Monte Carlo approach, of the effectiveness of the estimation of the parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the existence and uniqueness of functions whose regularity is defined by a scalable, possibly nonsymmetric, Levy measure are proved in the space of functions with regularity defined by the Levy process.
Abstract: Elliptic and parabolic integro-differential model problems are considered in the whole space. By verifying Hormander condition, the existence and uniqueness is proved in \(L_{p}\)-spaces of functions whose regularity is defined by a scalable, possibly nonsymmetric, Levy measure. Some rough probability density function estimates of the associated Levy process are used as well.

TL;DR: Two-armed bandit problems in continuous time are studied, where the risky arm can have two types: High or Low; both types yield stochastic payoffs generated by a Levy process.
Abstract: Bandit problems model the trade-off between exploration and exploitation in various decision problems. We study two-armed bandit problems in continuous time, where the risky arm can have two types: High or Low; both types yield stochastic payoffs generated by a Levy process. We show that the optimal strategy is a cut-off strategy and we provide an explicit expression for the cut-off and for the optimal payoff.

TL;DR: In this paper, several convenient methods for calculation of fractional absolute moments are given with application to heavy tailed distributions, where the main focus is on an infinite variance case with finite mean, that is, they are interested in formulae for $\mathbb{E} [\vert X-\mu\vert^{\gamma}]$ with $1<\gamma<2$ and $\mu\in\mathbb {R}$.
Abstract: Several convenient methods for calculation of fractional absolute moments are given with application to heavy tailed distributions. Our main focus is on an infinite variance case with finite mean, that is, we are interested in formulae for $\mathbb{E} [\vert X-\mu\vert^{\gamma}]$ with $1<\gamma<2$ and $\mu\in\mathbb{R}$. We review techniques of fractional differentiation of Laplace transforms and characteristic functions. Several examples are given with analytical expressions of $\mathbb{E} [\vert X-\mu\vert^{\gamma}]$. We also evaluate the fractional moment errors for both prediction and parameter estimation problems.

TL;DR: In this article, several definitions of the Riesz fractional Laplace operator in R^d have been studied, including singular integrals, semigroups of operators, Bochner's subordination, and harmonic extensions.
Abstract: This article reviews several definitions of the fractional Laplace operator (-Delta)^{alpha/2} (0 < alpha < 2) in R^d, also known as the Riesz fractional derivative operator, as an operator on Lebesgue spaces L^p, on the space C_0 of continuous functions vanishing at infinity and on the space C_{bu} of bounded uniformly continuous functions. Among these definitions are ones involving singular integrals, semigroups of operators, Bochner's subordination and harmonic extensions. We collect and extend known results in order to prove that all these definitions agree: on each of the function spaces considered, the corresponding operators have common domain and they coincide on that common domain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an up-to-date account of the theory and applications of scale functions for spectrally negative Levy processes, including the first extensive overview of how to work numerically with scale functions.
Abstract: The purpose of this review article is to give an up to date account of the theory and applications of scale functions for spectrally negative Levy processes. Our review also includes the first extensive overview of how to work numerically with scale functions. Aside from being well acquainted with the general theory of probability, the reader is assumed to have some elementary knowledge of Levy processes, in particular a reasonable understanding of the Levy–Khintchine formula and its relationship to the Levy–Ito decomposition. We shall also touch on more general topics such as excursion theory and semi-martingale calculus. However, wherever possible, we shall try to focus on key ideas taking a selective stance on the technical details. For the reader who is less familiar with some of the mathematical theories and techniques which are used at various points in this review, we note that all the necessary technical background can be found in the following texts on Levy processes; (Bertoin, Levy Processes (1996); Sato, Levy Processes and Infinitely Divisible Distributions (1999); Kyprianou, Introductory Lectures on Fluctuations of Levy Processes and Their Applications (2006); Doney, Fluctuation Theory for Levy Processes (2007)), Applebaum Levy Processes and Stochastic Calculus (2009).

TL;DR: A closed formula for prices of perpetual American call options in terms of the overall supremum of the Lévy process, and a corresponding closed formulas for perpetual American put options involving the infimum of the after-mentioned process are obtained.
Abstract: Consider a model of a financial market with a stock driven by a Levy process and constant interest rate. A closed formula for prices of perpetual American call options in terms of the overall supremum of the Levy process, and a corresponding closed formula for perpetual American put options involving the infimum of the after-mentioned process are obtained. As a direct application of the previous results, a Black-Scholes type formula is given. Also as a consequence, simple explicit formulas for prices of call options are obtained for a Levy process with positive mixed-exponential and arbitrary negative jumps. In the case of put options, similar simple formulas are obtained under the condition of negative mixed-exponential and arbitrary positive jumps. Risk-neutral valuation is discussed and a simple jump-diffusion model is chosen to illustrate the results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review work on extreme events, their causes and consequences, by a group of European and American researchers involved in a three-year project on these topics.
Abstract: We review work on extreme events, their causes and consequences, by a group of European and American researchers involved in a three-year project on these topics. The review covers theoretical aspects of time series analysis and of extreme value theory, as well as of the deterministic modeling of extreme events, via continuous and discrete dynamic models. The applications include climatic, seismic and socio-economic events, along with their prediction. Two important results refer to (i) the complementarity of spectral analysis of a time series in terms of the continuous and the discrete part of its power spectrum; and (ii) the need for coupled modeling of natural and socio-economic systems. Both these results have implications for the study and prediction of natural hazards and their human impacts.
