Abstract

Lookback option is an exotic option whose payoff depends on the maximum or minimum price of underlying asset within the period of validity. This paper mainly studies the valuation of lookback option under an uncertain volatility model. The pricing formulas of lookback option are derived and some algorithms are given to calculate the option prices numerically. Finally, we apply the minimum cover estimation approach to compute the parameters of the uncertain volatility process and the corresponding numerical example is provided to illustrate the method.
