Opis
Most textbooks on the subject are limited to diffusion-type models which cannot easily account for sudden price movements. Such abrupt changes, however, can often be observed in real markets. At the same time, purely discontinuous processes lead to a much wider variety of flexible and tractable models. This explains why processes with jumps have become an established tool in the statistics and mathematics of finance.
Graduate students, researchers as well as practitioners will benefit from this monograph.

"This masterpiece on mathematical finance is written by two leading authorities in the field. It provides an excellent treatment of important topics in mathematical finance. The monograph discusses some fundamental issues including arbitrage theory, valuation, hedging, optimal portfolio selection and interest rate models. ... A nice feature of the monograph is that the intuitions and practical motivations of theories, methods and models are well explained." (Tak Kuen Siu, zbMATH 1452.91001, 2021)
