The Laplace Transform

This paper is about the probability law of the integral of geometric Brownian motion over a finite time interval. A partial differential equation is derived for the Laplace transform of the law of the reciprocal integral, and is shown to yield an expression for the density of the distribution. This expression has some advantages over the ones obtained previously, at least when the normalized drift of the Brownian motion is a non-negative integer. Bougerol's identity and a relationship between Brownian motions with opposite drifts may also be seen to be special cases of these results.

The Law

This paper studies the law of any real powers of the integral of geometric Brownian motion over finite time intervals. As its main results, an apparently new integral representation is derived and its interrelations with the integral representations for these laws originating by Yor and by Dufresne are established. In fact, our representation is found to furnish what seems to be a natural bridge between these other two representations. Our results are obtained by enhancing the Hartman-Watson Ansatz of Yor, based on Bessel processes and the Laplace transform, by complex analytic techniques. Systematizing this idea in order to overcome the limits of Yor's theory seems to be the main methodological contribution of the paper.

In this paper we study the integral of the supremum process of standard Brownian motion. We present an explicit formula for the moments of the integral (or area)(T) covered by the process in the time interval [0,T]. The Laplace transform of(T) follows as a consequence. The main proof involves a double Laplace transform of(T) and is based on excursion theory and local time for Brownian motion.

With Memory

The paper proposes an approach to the description of macroeconomic phenomena, which takes into account the effects of fading memory. The standard notions of the accelerator and the multiplier are very limited, since the memory of economic agents is neglected. We consider the methods to describe the economic processes with memory, which is characterized by the fading of a power-law type. Using the mathematical tools of derivatives and integrals of non-integer orders, we suggest a generalization of the concept of the accelerator and multiplier. We derive the equations of the accelerator with memory and the multiplier with memory, which take into account the changes of endogenous and exogenous variables on a finite time interval. We prove the duality of the concepts of the multiplier with memory and the accelerator with memory. The proposed generalization includes the standard concepts of the accelerator and the multiplier as special cases. In addition these generalizations provide a range of intermediate characteristics to take into account the memory effects in macroeconomic models.

Let Xt be a stochastic process and Yt be its square process. The present note is concerned with the solution of the equation assuming Yt is given. In [4], F. A. Grünbaum proved that certain statistics of Yt are enough to determine those of Xt when it is a centered, nonvanishing, Gaussian process with continuous correlation function. In connection with this result, we are interested in sample function-wise inference, though it is far from generalities. A glance of the equation shows that the difficulty is related how to pick up a sign of . Thus if we know that Xt has nice sample process such as the zero crossings are finite, no tangencies, in any finite time interval, then observations of these statistics will make it sure to find out sample functions of Xt from those of Yt (see [2]). The purpose of this note is to consider the above problem from this point of view.

Multi-asset options exhibit sensitivity to the correlations between the underlying assets and these correlations are notoriously unstable. Moreover, some of these options such as the digital outperformance options, have a cross-gamma that changes sign depending on the relative evolution of the underlying assets. In this paper, I present a model to price digital outperformance options when there is uncertainty about correlation, but it is assumed to lie within a certain range. Under the assumption that assets prices follow a Geometric Brownian motion with constant instantaneous volatilities I present an analytic expression for the price of the digital outperformance option under the constant correlation assumption, as well as the partial differential equation corresponding to the uncertain correlation model. The comparison of the prices obtained using both models shows that there is no constant correlation which allows attaining the price obtained under the uncertain correlation model. This fact shows that it can be dangerous to assume a constant instantaneous correlation for products with a cross-gamma that changes sign.

In this note we compute the Laplace transform of hitting times, to fixed levels, of integrated geometric Brownian motion. The transform is expressed in terms of the gamma and confluent hypergeometric functions. Using a simple Itô transformation and standard results on hitting times of diffusion processes, the transform is characterized as the solution to a linear second-order ordinary differential equation which, modulo a change of variables, is equivalent to Kummer's equation.
