β¦ Synopsis
This article investigates valuation bounds on barrier options under model uncertainty. This investigation enriches the literature on the modelβfree valuation of these exotic options. It is found that with weak assumptions on underlying price processes, tight valuation bounds on barrier options can be sought from a set of European options. As a result, the numerical routine developed in this article can be reviewed as a new method for the evaluation of barrier options, which is independent of model assumptions.

We focus on the problem of decision-making in the face of uncertainty. The issue of the representation of uncertain information is considered and a number of different frameworks are described: possibilistic, probabilistic, belief structures, and graded possibilistic. We suggest methodologies for de
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
If the cost-of-carry relationship holds, then (A3) is consistent with the assumption that the spot price of the underlying commodity also follows a stochastic differential equation given by: where p = a -( ra), r = riskless interest rate, and 6 represents the dividend yield (or its analog) on the s
