The solution of the Fokker–Planck equation for exponential Brownian functionals usually involves spectral expansions that are difficult to compute explicitly. In this paper, we propose a direct solution based on heat kernels and a new integral representation for the square modulus of the Gamma function. A financial application to bond pricing in the Dothan model is also presented.

AbstractWe derive Mellin integral representations in terms of Macdonald functions for the squared absolute value{s\mapsto|\Gamma(a+is)|^{2}}of the gamma function and its Fourier transform when{a<0}is non-integer, generalizing known results in the case{a>0}. This representation is based on a renormalization argument using modified Bessel functions of the second kind, and it applies to the representation of the solutions of a Fokker–Planck equation.

AbstractWe define a time-changed fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process by composing a fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with the inverse of a subordinator. Properties of the moments of such process are investigated and the existence of the density is shown. We also provide a generalized Fokker-Planck equation for the density of the process.
