Option Pricing Under Multifractional Process and Long-Range Dependence

摘要

We introduced a new method to compute the European Call (and Put) Option price under the assumption of multifractional Brownian motion (mBm). The reason why we need a procedure for estimating the Option price is due to the absence of a closed formula for this process. To compute the Option price, we first simulated the logarithmic price under mBm and, by using a discount factor, we computed the option's pay-off. Then, we fitted the best probability distribution associated to the discounted pay-off, computing the European Call Option price as its average.
