In this website, we collect some material, papers and Mathematica CDF files (get here the free CDF Player) on analytical approximation methods in option pricing. The most recent results are universal approximation formulas for the Implied Vol in any Local-Stochastic volatility model. We have also studied a simplified approach to the approximation of the transition density in a general local volatility model for European and Asian options.

Feel free to contact the authors for any question concerning the preprints or the Mathematica code.
On request, we provide the Mathematica code for specific volatility models.

The proposed methodology is sufficiently flexible to be extended
to much more general settings.

We plan to put on this website other results and
the related Mathematica CDF files in the near future.
