Abstract

This chapter introduces call and put pricing functions in general asset price models. The chapter first takes up the question of what are the conditions under which a function of two variables (strike price and maturity) is a call pricing function. The answer to this question is given in the form of a characterization theorem for general call pricing functions. The best known call pricing function is without doubt the pricing function in the Black-Scholes model. This celebrated model is discussed in the present chapter and an analytical proof of the Black-Scholes formula is given. Moreover, sharp asymptotic formulas are obtained for call pricing functions in the Hull-White, Stein-Stein, and Heston models.
