Non linear pricing
P. Henry-Labordère
The idea of the course is to present a broad spectrum of mathematical tools (in Analysis, Probability, Geometry, Optimization) to solve concrete problems in quantitative finance.
During each session, a concrete problem associated with a mathematical tool will be presented. Here are some examples:
- Calibration of stochastic volatility models and nonlinear McKean equation.
- Uncertain volatility model and backward stochastic equations.
- Counterparty risk and branching processes.
- Exotic hedging doptions by vanillas and martingale optimal transport.
- Non-arbitrable parametric smiles and hyperbolic geometry.
