An Expanded Local Variance Gamma model
The paper proposes an expanded version of the Local Variance Gamma model of Carr and Nadtochiy by adding drift to the governing underlying process. Still in this new model it is possible to derive an ordinary differential equation for the option price which plays a role of Dupire's equation for the standard local volatility model. It is shown how calibration of multiple smiles (the whole local volatility surface) can be done in such a case. Further, assuming the local variance to be a piecewise linear function of strike and piecewise constant function of time this ODE is solved in closed form in terms of Confluent hypergeometric functions. Calibration of the model to market smiles does not require solving any optimization problem and, in contrast, can be done term-by-term by solving a system of non-linear algebraic equations for each maturity, which is fast.

Geometric Local Variance Gamma model
This paper describes another extension of the Local Variance Gamma model originally proposed by P. Carr in 2008, and then further elaborated on by Carr and Nadtochiy, 2017 (CN2017), and Carr and Itkin, 2018 (CI2018). As …
modelThe Quadratic Local Variance Gamma Model: an arbitrage-free interpolation of class C3 for option prices
This paper generalizes the local variance gamma model of Carr and Nadtochiy, to a piecewise quadratic local variance function. The formulation encompasses the piecewise linear Bachelier and piecewise linear Black local v…
On the Pricing of Currency Options under Variance Gamma Process
The pricing of currency options is largely dependent on the dynamic relationship between a pair of currencies. Typically, the pricing of options with payoffs dependent on multi-assets becomes tricky for reasons such as t…
