Barrier option pricing under the 2-hypergeometric stochastic volatility model

作者:

Highlights:

• We investigate the pricing of barrier options under stochastic volatility.

• Using an asymptotic expansion method, an explicit pricing formula is derived.

• The convergence of the asymptotic solution is proved.

• The evaluation of the asymptotic prices is fast and suitable for practical uses.

• Our numerical examples demonstrate that the approach leads to a small error.
