### European call option delta and maximum principle

From comments, the maximum principle for parabolic PDE can be used to show that the European call option delta cannot be greater than 1. I am looking forward to such derivations.

### How do one solve $\int_t^T \exp[\int_0^u-( r-\delta_s)ds] dW_u$? Double integral with general deterministic function $\delta(t)$

How do one solve $\int_t^T \exp[\int_0^u-\left( r-\delta_s\right)ds] dW_u$ ? $\delta(t)$ is a general deterministic function. $r$ is constant.

### $E[F_T] = F_0 \ \rightarrow \ \text{or} \ \leftarrow \ p = \frac{1-d}{u-d}$?

From Ch 12 in Hull's OFOD, we compute the risk-neutral probabilities for a futures contract: Later in Ch 17, futures options are valued, and we have the same result: In relation to ...

### Pricing when arbitrage is possible through Negative Probabilities or something else

Assume that we have a general one-period market model consisting of d+1 assets and N states. Using a replicating portfolio $\phi$, determine $\Pi(0;X)$, the price of a European call option, with ...

### Is the European call option delta an increasing function of the spot?

In the Black-Scholes' setting, the delta hedge ratio of a European call option is given by $N(d_1)$, which is an increasing function of the underlying equity spot $S_0$. Does this property hold ...

### Magnitude of Predictors on Logistic Regression

We are using logistic regression for calculating delinquency. We know what the major predictors are, but we don't know how to quantify the impact of each of the major predictors. We know how to rank ...

### Pricing of American Deriviatives

Reading the book by Andrea Pascucci "PDE and Martingale Method in Option Pricing" I am struggling with a very simple issue. Suppose we want to find the price of an American derivative $X$ in an ...

### Effect on variance of change of measure

My current understanding: (a) changing the probability measure of a diffusion process does not change the variance. (b) for a general stochastic process the variance may change. Please confirm whether ...

### How many monte carlo runs do I need for pricing a Call?

I have to price several calls using Monte Carlo. Obviously, there is a huge tradeoff between the number of runs and the fair price of the call option. I know I can check how the approximation changes ...

### Brownian motion. Solve stoc. integral by using Ito's lemma

I want to show that following statement is true by using Ito's lemma to solve stochastic integrals: I define the functions in Ito's model: a()=0, b()= (2wt-2)^2. f(t)=Integrate[(2wt-2)^2] Then df=(b^...

### Realized variance in SVJJ (Heston with jumps) model

I am working with the stochastic volatility model with jumps in both the price and volatility dynamics, ie. the risk neutral dynamics are of the form: \$\mathrm{d}V_t = \kappa(\theta - V_t)\mathrm{d}t ...
