Abstract

As mentioned in Chapter 5, the Local Variance Gamma (LVG) volatility model was first introduced by P. Carr in 2008 and then presented in [Carr and Nadtochiy (2014, 2017)] as an extension of the local volatility model by [Dupire (1994)] and [Derman and Kani (1994a)]. The latter was developed on top of the celebrating Black-Scholes model to take into account the existence of option smile. The main advantage of all local volatility models is that given European options prices or their implied volatilities at points (T, K) where K, T are the option strike and time to maturity, they are able to exactly replicate the local volatility function σ(T, K) at these points. This process is called calibration of the local volatility (or, alternatively, implied volatility) surface, and is one of the main topics of this book…
