How to reduce variance in Monte Carlo using Control Variates when spot prices are decreasing?
Some of the assumptions here are wrong.
The issue here is that $$S_0 \neq e^{-rT} E[S],$$
but $$F = E[S].$$
And thus Z should be Z=V-theta*(VC-exp(-rT)*F). If you output mean(VC) it's very clear.
It s …

What causes the call and put volatility surface to differ?
The market will quote Call and Put options prices within a bid-ask spread. In order to imply the volatility, one may choose to use the bid, the ask, or the mid. Although the mid is a better idea in ge …

Pricing in the Heston Model
This is not the typical Heston stochastic differential equation (SDE). In the original Heston paper, the SDE is defined without $\lambda$, that is $\lambda=1$ and $v(0)=v_0$ not necessarily 1.
In you …

I can confirm there is no error in @Sanjay graph. I obtain the same plot with Obloj correction for the SABR formula.
In fact, the popular SABR approximation formulas (Hagan or the further corrections …

Estimating at-the-money volatility where at-the-money option is absent from the market
Using a cubic spline or worse, SVI is overkill to find the at-the-money (ATM) volatility when it is not quoted by the market: both approaches are global in the sense that a small change of one of the …

Smoothing of the payoff function as a terminal condition for numerical option pricing
Another approach would have been to use some projection as in Pooley and Vetzal Convergence remedies for non-smooth payoffs in option pricing.

Mixing Black Scholes with SABR
In your first step, you will want to calibrate $\alpha, \rho, \nu$, and probably not $\beta$. See the related question Calibrate a SABR model?
