An Asymptotic FX Option Formula in the Cross Currency Libor Market Model: Wilmott Magazine Article
Atsushi Kawai & Peter Jäckel 480 Views

In this article, we introduce analytic approximation formulae for FX options in the Libor market model (LMM). The method to derive the formulae is an asymptotic expansion technique introduced in Kawai [Kaw03].

We first apply the method to the lognormal LMM and lognormal FX model. Then, the method is applied to the displaced diffusion LMM and the displaced diffusion FX model. Some numerical examples show that the derived formulae are sufficiently accurate for practical applications.

Not-so-complex Logarithms in the Heston Model: Wilmott Magazine Article
Christian Kahl & Peter Jäckel 2101 Views

In Heston's stochastic volatility framework [Heston 1993], semi-analytical formulæ for plain vanilla option prices can be derived. Unfortunately, these formulæ require the evaluation of logarithms with complex arguments during the involved inverse Fourier integration step. This gives rise to an inherent numerical instability as a consequence of which most implementations of Heston's formulæ are not robust for moderate to long dated maturities or strong mean reversion. In this article, we propose a new approach to solve this problem which enables the use of Heston's analytics for practically all levels of parameters and even maturities of many decades.
