P Carr, A Itkin, D Muravey - arXiv preprint arXiv:2005.05459, 2020 - arxiv.org
We continue a series of papers where prices of the barrier options written on the underlying,
which dynamics follows some one factor stochastic model with time-dependent coefficients …

[HTML][HTML] Optimal risk sharing and dividend strategies under default contagion: A semi-analytical approach

M Qiu, Z Jin, S Li - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2023 - Elsevier
We investigate the risk control and dividend optimization problem of an insurance group in a
general setting and propose an innovative semi-analytical approach to the problem. The …

The return barrier and return timer option with pricing under Levy processes

JL Kirkby, JP Aguilar - Expert Systems with Applications, 2023 - Elsevier
This work introduces two new financial derivatives into the finance literature. The first is the
return barrier option, which has emerged recently as a popular contract in the OTC markets …

Semi-analytical pricing of barrier options in the time-dependent Heston model

P Carr, A Itkin, D Muravey - arXiv preprint arXiv:2202.06177, 2022 - arxiv.org
We develop the general integral transforms (GIT) method for pricing barrier options in the
time-dependent Heston model (also with a time-dependent barrier) where the option price is …

Multilayer heat equations: application to finance

A Itkin, A Lipton, D Muravey - arXiv preprint arXiv:2102.08338, 2021 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we develop a Multilayer (ML) method for solving one-factor parabolic
equations. Our approach provides a powerful alternative to the well-known finite difference …

Semi-analytic pricing of double barrier options with time-dependent barriers and rebates at hit

A Itkin, D Muravey - arXiv preprint arXiv:2009.09342, 2020 - arxiv.org
We continue a series of papers devoted to construction of semi-analytic solutions for barrier
options. These options are written on underlying following some simple one-factor diffusion …

American options in time-dependent one-factor models: Semi-analytic pricing, numerical methods and ML support

A Itkin, D Muravey - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.13870, 2023 - arxiv.org
Semi-analytical pricing of American options in a time-dependent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model
was presented in [Carr, Itkin, 2020]. It was shown that to obtain these prices one needs to …

A Itkin, A Lipton, D Muravey - 2021 - books.google.com
This book describes several techniques, first invented in physics for solving problems of heat
and mass transfer, and applies them to various problems of mathematical finance defined in …

[HTML][HTML] Calibration of Storage Model by Multi-Stage Statistical and Machine Learning Methods

N Karimi, H Assa, E Salavati, H Adibi - Computational Economics, 2023 - Springer
Calibration of multidimensional economic problems proven to be difficult, as there is a high
risk of problem miss-identification. In this paper we propose a multi-stage calibration method …

From the Black-Karasinski to the Verhulst model to accommodate the unconventional Fed's policy

A Itkin, A Lipton, D Muravey - arXiv preprint arXiv:2006.11976, 2020 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we argue that some of the most popular short-term interest models have to be
revisited and modified to reflect current market conditions better. In particular, we propose a …
