Ideal for practitioners and as a graduate-level textbook. Zusammenfassung This research monograph in financial mathematics can also be used as a graduate-level textbook. It explains financial models in which volatility of assets changes randomly over time. These are analyzed with a powerful approximation method and tested on financial data. More advanced topics are discussed in later chapters. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; 1. The Black-Scholes theory of derivative pricing; 2. Introduction to stochastic volatility models; 3.
