Analytical bounds for Asian options are almost exclusively available in the Black-Scholes framework. In this paper we derive bounds for the price of a discretely monitored arithmetic Asian option when the underlying asset follows an arbitrary LΓ©vy process. Explicit formulas are given for Kou's model

In this work we analyze the value of an Asian arithmetic option with an approach different from that used by Geman and Yor with Bessel processes in 1993. We obtain the same solution of the valuation problem, without using any previous results based on Bessel processes; by means of partial differenti
## Abstract In this article we first identify a missing term in the Bouaziz, Briys, and Crouhy (1994) pricing formula for forwardβstarting Asian options and derive the correct one. First, illustrate in certain cases that the missing term in their pricing formula could induce large pricing errors or
