Path integral approach to price call option on zero coupon bonds
I am given the following identities:
$$
Z[J,t_1,t_2]=\int D W e^{\int_{t_1}^{t_2}dtJ(t)W(t)}e^{S}=e^{\frac{1}{2}\int_{t_1}^{t_2}dtJ(t)^2}
$$
$$
\int_t^Tdx\alpha(t,x)=\frac{1}{2}\left[\int_t^Tdx\sigma(...

Calculate value of Integral of Wiener process $\int_{0}^t e^{\lambda u } dZ_u$
I am not quite sure how to solve this integral to be able to do numerical calculations with it. $\lambda$ is a constant, $u$ is time, and $Z_u$ is a wiener process. Can anyone provide some direction ...

How to evaluate the following integral?
I stumbled across an expression and I wonder how to evaluate this: $-\int_ {0} ^ {+\infty} {v(x)} dw^{+} (1-p(x))$ where $v(x)$ is some utility function and $w(p(x)) $ is a decision weighting function,...

How to derive Parameter Derivative within an FFT integral
I have the following function (Carr-Madan) of which I am trying to take the derivative wrt $\theta$:
$c(k)=\int_0^\infty \frac{e^{-iuk}}{\alpha^2 + \alpha - u^2 + i(2\alpha+1)u} e^{\phi_T(u-(\alpha+1)...

Is there a closed-form solution for the following integral?
The integral under consideration is as follows:
$$
F=\int_{a}^{1} \exp\Big\{c\Phi^{-1}(x+b) + d\Big\}\; \mathrm dx,
$$
where $0<a, b<1$, and $c>0, d\in\mathbb{R}$ are constants, and the ...

Expectation of integral where one of limits of integration is a random variable
Is it correct to write
\begin{equation}
E_t \int_0^{X_T} f(z) dz = \int_0^\infty \left(\int_0^x f(z) dz \right) p(x)dx \,\,?
\end{equation}
Here $X_T$ is a positive random variable with density $p(x)...

Regression of stochastic integral on Wiener process
This question is a follow-up from the following: conditional expectation of stochastic integral
so I won't repeat myself regarding assumptions and notation.
Using Brownian bridge approach, we know ...

Show that $\int_0^T(T-t)dW_t=\int_0^TW_t \ dt$
I want to show that $$\int_0^T(T-t)dW_t=\int_0^TW_t \ dt \tag1$$
By Ito's lemma we can write $$d((T-t)W_t)=(T-t)dW_t-W_t \ dt.\tag{2}$$
Now If I integrate this expression and use that $W_0=0$ I should ...

Esscher Premium: Integral Transform Proof
I have some difficulty understanding the following proof and I hope someone can help me with that.
Claim: I want to show that
$E_\alpha(S)=\frac{d}{dr} \log M_S(r)|_{r=\alpha} $, where $M_S(r)=E(\exp(...

conditional expectation of stochastic integral
let $M_t$ be the following stochastic integral
$$
M_t = \int_0^t \sigma_s dW_s
$$
where $\sigma_t$ is a sufficiently regular deterministic function and $W_t$ is a standard Wiener process (that is $...
