The Pricing of A Moving Barrier Option
We provided an analytical representation of the price of a barrier option
with one type of special moving barrier. We consider the case that risk free
rate, dividend rate and stock volatility are time dependent. We get a pricing
formula and put call parity for barrier option when the moving barrier has a
special relation with risk free rate, dividend rate and stock volatility.Comment: 11 pages, written in working paper series in 200
The Pricing of Multiple-Expiry Exotics
In this paper we extend Buchen's method to develop a new technique for
pricing of some exotic options with several expiry dates(more than 3 expiry
dates) using a concept of higher order binary option. At first we introduce the
concept of higher order binary option and then provide the pricing formulae of
-th order binaries using PDE method. After that, we apply them to pricing of
some multiple-expiry exotic options such as Bermudan option, multi time
extendable option, multi shout option and etc. Here, when calculating the price
of concrete multiple-expiry exotic options, we do not try to get the formal
solution to corresponding initial-boundary problem of the Black-Scholes
equation, but explain how to express the expiry payoffs of the exotic options
as a combination of the payoffs of some class of higher order binary options.
Once the expiry payoffs are expressed as a linear combination of the payoffs of
some class of higher order binary options, in order to avoid arbitrage, the
exotic option prices are obtained by static replication with respect to this
family of higher order binaries.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, Ver. 1 was presented in the 1st International

A construction of fractal surfaces with function scaling factors on a rectangular grid
A fractal surface is a set which is a graph of a bivariate continuous
function. In the construction of fractal surfaces using IFS, vertical scaling
factors in IFS are important one which characterizes a fractal feature of
surfaces constructed. We construct IFS with function vertical scaling factors
which are 0 on the boundaries of a rectangular grid using arbitrary data set on
a rectangular grid and give a condition for an attractor of the IFS constructed
being a surface. Finally, lower and upper bounds of Box-counting dimension of
the constructed surface are estimated.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
Construction of Fractal Surfaces by Recurrent Fractal Interpolation Curves
A method to construct fractal surfaces by recurrent fractal curves is
provided. First we construct fractal interpolation curves using a recurrent
iterated functions system(RIFS) with function scaling factors and estimate
their box-counting dimension. Then we present a method of construction of wider
class of fractal surfaces by fractal curves and Lipschitz functions and
calculate the box-counting dimension of the constructed surfaces. Finally, we
combine both methods to have more flexible constructions of fractal surfaces.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure
Analytical Pricing of Defaultable Bond with Stochastic Default Intensity
We provide analytical pricing formula of corporate defaultable bond with both
expected and unexpected default in the case with stochastic default intensity.
In the case with constant short rate and exogenous default recovery using PDE
method, we gave some pricing formula of the defaultable bond under the
conditions that 1)expected default recovery is the same with unexpected default
recovery; 2) default intensity follows one of 3 special cases of Willmott
model; 3) default intensity is uncorrelated with firm value. Then we derived a
pricing formula of a credit default swap. And in the case of stochastic short
rate and exogenous default recovery using PDE method, we gave some pricing
formula of the defaultable bond under the conditions that 1) expected default
recovery is the same with unexpected default recovery; 2) the short rate
follows Vasicek model; 3) default intensity follows one of 3 special cases of
Willmott model; 4) default intensity is uncorrelated with firm value; 5)
default intensity is uncorrelated with short rate. Then we derived a pricing
formula of a credit default swap. We give some credit spread analysis, too.Comment: 35 pages, 6 figures; written in working paper series in 2005, version

Equiaffine Structure and Conjugate Ricci-symmetry of a Statistical Manifold
A condition for a statistical manifold to have an equiaffine structure is
studied. The facts that dual flatness and conjugate symmetry of a statistical
manifold are sufficient conditions for a statistical manifold to have an
equiaffine structure were obtained in [2] and [3]. In this paper, a fact that a
statistical manifold, which is conjugate Ricci-symmetric, has an equiaffine
structure is given, where conjugate Ricci-symmetry is weaker condition than
conjugate symmetry. A condition for conjugate symmetry and conjugate
Ricci-symmetry to coincide is also given.Comment: 7 page
Existence and Solution-representation of IVP for LFDE with Generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and terms
This paper provides the existence and representation of solution to an
initial value problem for the general multi-term linear fractional differential
equation with generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and constant
coefficients by using operational calculus of Mikusinski's type. We prove that
the initial value problem has the solution of if and only if some initial
values should be zero.Comment: 15 pages, ver 5 corrected 4 typos in ver 4; this version to appear in

Numerical analysis for a unified 2 factor model of structural and reduced form types for corporate bonds with fixed discrete coupon
Conditions of Stability for explicit finite difference scheme and some
results of numerical analysis for a unified 2 factor model of structural and
reduced form types for corporate bonds with fixed discrete coupon are provided.
It seems to be difficult to get solution formula for PDE model which
generalizes Agliardi's structural model [1] for discrete coupon bonds into a
unified 2 factor model of structural and reduced form types and we study a
numerical analysis for it by explicit finite difference scheme. These equations
are parabolic equations with 3 variables and they include mixed derivatives, so
the explicit finite difference scheme is not stable in general. We find
conditions for the explicit finite difference scheme to be stable, in the case
that it is stable, numerically compute the price of the bond and analyze its
credit spread and duration.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figure
Pricing Corporate Defaultable Bond using Declared Firm Value
We study the pricing problem for corporate defaultable bond from the
viewpoint of the investors outside the firm that could not exactly know about
the information of the firm. We consider the problem for pricing of corporate
defaultable bond in the case when the firm value is only declared in some fixed
discrete time and unexpected default intensity is determined by the declared
firm value. Here we provide a partial differential equation model for such a
defaultable bond and give its pricing formula. Our pricing model is derived to
solving problems of partial differential equations with random constants (de-
fault intensity) and terminal values of binary types. Our main method is to use
the solving method of a partial differential equation with a random constant in
every subinterval and to take expectation to remove the random constants.Comment: 12 pages, version 5 is written in tex and accepted in

Explicit Representations of Green's Function for Linear Fractional Differential Operator with Variable Coefficients
We provide explicit representations of Green's functions for general linear
fractional differential operators with {\it variable coefficients} and
Riemann-Liouvilles derivatives. We assume that all their coefficients are
continuous in . Using the explicit representations for Green's
function, we obtain explicit representations for solution of inhomogeneous
fractional differential equation with variable coefficients of general type.
Therefore the method of Green's function, which was developed in previous
research for solution of fractional differential equation with constant
coefficients, is extended to the case of fractional differential equations with
{\it variable coefficients}.Comment: 14 pages, version 4 is tex version and accepted to Journal of
