Uniform bounds for Black--Scholes implied volatility
In this note, Black--Scholes implied volatility is expressed in terms of various optimisation problems. From these representations, upper and lower bounds are derived which hold uniformly across moneyness and call price. Various symmetries of the Black--Scholes formula are exploited to derive new bounds from old. These bounds are used to reprove asymptotic formulae for implied volatility at extreme strikes and/or maturities.

Tighter 'uniform bounds for Black-Scholes implied volatility' and the applications to root-finding
Using the option delta systematically, we derive tighter lower and upper bounds of the Black-Scholes implied volatility than those in Tehranchi [SIAM J. Financ. Math. 7 (2016), 893-916]. As an application, we propose a N…
MathSubleading correction to the Asian options volatility in the Black-Scholes model
The short maturity limit $T\to 0$ for the implied volatility of an Asian option in the Black-Scholes model is determined by the large deviations property for the time-average of the geometric Brownian motion. In this not…
On the Bachelier implied volatility at extreme strikes
What kind of implied volatility extrapolation is appropriate? Roger Lee proved that the Black-Scholes implied variance can not grow faster than linearly in log-moneyness. This paper investigates what happens in the Bache…
Black-Scholes in a CEV random environment
Classical (It\^o diffusions) stochastic volatility models are not able to capture the steepness of small-maturity implied volatility smiles. Jumps, in particular exponential L\'evy and affine models, which exhibit small-…
Dynamic Hedging using Generated Genetic Programming Implied Volatility Models
The purpose of this paper is to improve the accuracy of dynamic hedging using implied volatilities generated by genetic programming. Using real data from S&P500 index options, the genetic programming's ability to forecas…
