It has been developed as a tool in mathematical finance. In 1999, Founie´ et al. [1] gave a new method for more efficient computation of Greeks which represent sensitivities of the derivative price to changes in parameters of a model under consideration, by using the integration by parts formula related to Malliavin calculus. Following their works, more general and efficient application to computation of Greeks have been introduced by many authors (see [2], [3], [4]). They often considered this method for tractable models typified by the Black-Scholes model. In the Black-Scholes model, an underlying asset St is assumed to follow the stochastic differential equa- tion dSt = rSt dt + σSt dWt, where r and σ respectively imply the risk free interest rate and the volatility. The Black-Scholes model seems standard in business. The reason is that this model has the analytic solution for famous options, so it is fast to calculate prices of derivatives and risk parameters (Greeks) and easy to evaluate a lot of deals and the whole portfolios and to manage the risk. However, the Black-Scholes model has a defect that this model assumes that volatility is a constant. In the actual financial market, it is observed that volatility fluctuates. However, the Black-Scholes model does not suppose the prospective fluctuation of volatility, so when we use the model there is a problem that we would underestimate prices of options. Hence, more accurate models have been developed. One of the models is the stochastic volatility model. One of merits to consider this model is that even if prices of derivatives such as the European options are not given for any strike and maturity, we can grasp the volatility term structure. In particular, the Heston model, which is introduced in [5], is one of the most popular stochastic volatility models. This model assumes that the underlying asset St and the volatility νt follow the stochastic differential equations p dSt = St(r dt + νt dBt); (1.1) 1 dνt = κ(µ − νt) dt + θνt 2 dWt; (1.2) where Bt and Wt denote correlated Brownian motions. In the equation (1.2), κ, µ and θ imply respectively the rate of mean reversion (percentage drift), the long-run mean (equilibrium level) and the volatility of volatility. This volatility model is called the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model and more complicated than the Black-Scholes model. We have not got the analytic solution yet. However, even this model can not grasp fluctuation of volatility accurately. In 2006 (see [6]), Andersen 2 and Piterbarg generalized the Heston model. They extended the volatility process of (1.2) to 1 dν = κ(µ − ν ) dt + θν γ dW ; γ 2 ; 1 : (1.3) t t t t 2 This model is called the constant elasticity of variance model (we will often shorten this model as the CEV 1 model). Naturally, in the case γ 2 2 ; 1 , the volatility model (1.3) is more complicated than the volatility model (1.2). Here, consider the European call option and let φ is a payoff function. Then we can estimate the option −rT price by the following formula V (x) = E[ e φ(ST )]. However, the computation of Greeks is much @V (x) important in the risk-management. A Greek is given by @α where α is one of parameters needed to compute the price, such as the initial price, the risk free interest rate, the volatility and the maturity etc.. Most of financial institutions have calculated Greeks by using finite-difference methods but there are some demerits such that the results depend on the approximation parameters. More than anything, the methods need the assumption that the payoff function φ is differentiable. However, in business they often consider the payoff functions such as φ(x) = (x − K)+ or φ(x) = 1fx≥Kg. Here we need Malliavin calculus. In 1999 Founie´ et al. in [1] gave the new methods for Greeks. To come to the point, they calculated Greeks by the @V (x) −rT following formula @α = E[ e φ(ST )·(weight)]. We can calculate this even if φ is polynomial growth. Instead, we need the Malliavin differentiability of St. The solution Xt satisfying the stochastic differential equation with Lipschitz continuous coefficients is known as Malliavin differentiable. Hence we can easily verify that the Black-Scholes model is Malliavin γ 1 differentiable. However the diffusion coefficient x ; γ 2 2 ; 1 is neither differentiable at x = 0 nor Lipschitz continuous and then we cannot find whether the CEV-type Heston model is Malliavin differentiable 1 or not. In [7], Alos and Ewald proved that the volatility process (1.2), that is the case where γ = 2 of (1.3), was Malliavin differentiable and gave the explicit expression for the derivative. However, in the case 1 γ 2 2 ; 1 , we can not simply prove the Malliavin differentiability in the exact same way. 1 In this paper we concentrate on the case γ 2 2 ; 1 , that is, we extend the results in [7] and give the explicit expression for the derivative. Moreover we consider the CEV-type Heston model and give the formula to compute Greeks. 2 Summary of Malliavin Calculus We give the short introduction of Malliavin calculus on the Wiener space. For further details, refer to [8]. 2.1 Malliavin Derivative We consider a Brownian motion fW (t; !)gt2[0;T ] (in the sequel, we often denote W (t; !) by Wt) on a complete filtered probability space (Ω; F; P; (Ft)) where (Ft) is the filtration generated by Wt, and the Hilbert space H := L2([0;T ]). When fixing !, we can consider !(t) := W (t; !) 2 C([0;T ]). Then the Z T Z T Itoˆ integral of h 2 H is constructed as h(t) dW (t; !) = h(t) d!(t) on C([0;T ]). We denote by 0 0 3 1 n n Cp (R ) the set of infinitely continuously differentiable functions f : R ! R such that f and all its partial derivatives have polynomial growth. Let S be the space of smooth random variables expressed as F (!) = f(W (h1);:::;W (hn)); (2.1) Z T 1 n 1 n where f 2 Cp (R ) and W (h) := h(t) dWt where h1; : : : ; hn 2 H, n ≥ 1. We denote by C0 (R ) 0 the set of infinitely continuously differentiable functions f : Rn ! R such that f has compact support. 1 n n Moreover we denote by Cb (R ) the set of infinitely continuously differentiable functions f : R ! R such that f and all of its partial derivatives are bounded. Denote by S0 and Sb respectively, the spaces of 1 n 1 n smooth random variables of the form (2.1) such that f 2 C0 (R ) and f 2 Cb (R ). We can find that p @ S0 ⊂ Sb ⊂ S and S0 is a linear subspace of and dense in L (Ω) for all p > 0. We use the notation @i = @xi in the sequal. We define the derivative operator D, so called the Malliavin derivative operator. Definition 2.1 (Malliavin derivative). The Malliavin derivative DtF of a smooth random variable expressed as (2.1) is defined as the H-valued random variable given by n X DtF = @if(W (h1);:::;W (hn))hi(t): (2.2) i=1 We sometimes omit to write the subscript t. Since S is dense in Lp(Ω), we will define the Malliavin derivative of a general F 2 Lp(Ω) by means of taking limits. We will now prove that the Malliavin derivative operator D : Lp(Ω) ! Lp(Ω; H) is closable. Please refer to [8] for proves of the following results. Lemma 2.1. We have E[ GhDF; hiH ] = −E[ F hDG; hiH ] + E[ F GW (h), for F; G 2 S and h 2 H. Lemma 2.2. For any p ≥ 1, the Malliavin derivative operator D : Lp(Ω) ! Lp(Ω; H) is closable. For any p ≥ 1, we denote by D1;p the domain of D in Lp(Ω) and then it is the closure of S by the norm p 1 ( " #) p 1 Z T 2 p p p p 2 kF k1;p = E[ jF j ] + E[ kDF kH ] = E[ jF j ] + E jDtF j dt : (2.3) 0 1;2 Note that D is a Hilbert space with the scalar product hF; Gi1;2 = E[ FG] + E[ hDF; DGiH ]. Moreover, the Malliavin derivative fDtF gt2[0;T ] is regarded as a stochastic process defined almost surely with the measure P × u where u is a Lebesgue measure in [0;T ]. Indeed, we can observe Z T Z T 2 2 2 2 kDF kL2(Ω;H) = E (DtF ) dt = E[(DtF ) ] dt = kD·F kL2(Ω×[0;T ]): (2.4) 0 0 The following result will become a very important tool. 4 1;2 2 2 Lemma 2.3. Suppose that a sequence fFn : Fn 2 D ; supn E[ kDFnkH ] < 1g converges to F in L (Ω). 1;2 2 Then F belongs to D and the sequence fDFng converges to DF in the weak topology of L (Ω; H). k F fDk F; t 2 [0;T ]g Ω × [0;T ]k Similarly, we define the -th Malliavin derivative of , t1;:::;tk i , as a - measurable stochastic process defined P × uk-almost surely and the operator Dk is closable from S! Lp(Ω; Hk) for any p ≥ 1 and k ≥ 1.
