On the Guyon-Lekeufack Volatility Model
Guyon and Lekeufack recently proposed a path-dependent volatility model and documented its excellent performance in fitting market data and capturing stylized facts. The instantaneous volatility is modeled as a linear combination of two processes, one is an integral of weighted past price returns and the other is the square-root of an integral of weighted past squared volatility. Each of the weightings is built using two exponential kernels reflecting long and short memory. Mathematically, the model is a coupled system of four stochastic differential equations. Our main result is the wellposedness of this system: the model has a unique strong (non-explosive) solution for all parameter values. We also study the positivity of the resulting volatility process and the martingale property of the associated exponential price process.

Existence, uniqueness and positivity of solutions to the Guyon-Lekeufack path-dependent volatility model with general kernels
We show the existence and uniqueness of a continuous solution to a path-dependent volatility model introduced by Guyon and Lekeufack (2023) to model the price of an equity index and its spot volatility. The considered mo…
Implied volatility (also) is path-dependent
We propose a new model for the coherent forecasting of both the implied volatility surfaces and the underlying asset returns.In the spirit of Guyon and Lekeufack (2023) who are interested in the dependence of volatility …
Pricing and calibration in the 4-factor path-dependent volatility model
We consider the path-dependent volatility (PDV) model of Guyon and Lekeufack (2023), where the instantaneous volatility is a linear combination of a weighted sum of past returns and the square root of a weighted sum of p…
Strong Solutions and Quantization-Based Numerical Schemes for a Class of Non-Markovian Volatility Models
We investigate a class of non-Markovian processes that hold particular relevance in the realm of mathematical finance. This family encompasses path-dependent volatility models, including those pioneered by [Platen and Re…
