How to make Dupire’s local volatility work with jumps

Abstract: There are several (mathematical) reasons why Dupire's formula fails in the non-diffusion setting. And yet, in practice, ad-hoc preconditioning of the option data works reasonably well. In this note we attempt to explain why. In particular, we propose a regularization procedure of the option data so that Dupire's local vol diffusion process recreates the correct option prices, even in manifest presence of jumps.

“…Example Hermite expansions can be useful when the diffusion coefficients are not smooth. A remarkable example in financial mathematics is given by the Dupire's LV formula for models with jumps (see Friz, Gerhold, and Yor ). In some cases, e.g., the well‐known variance‐gamma model, the fundamental solution (i.e., the transition density of the underlying stochastic model) has singularities.…”

“…See theorem 1 and proposition 2 inMijatović and Tankov (2016).5 We write CLT for central limit theorem and LDP for large deviation principle. For readers unfamiliar with moderate deviations, we recall some of the basics toward the end of the Introduction.6 The situation is very different with jumps; seeFriz, Gerhold, and Yor (2014).7 Recall that the MD rate function for a centered i.i.d. sequence ( ) ≥1 is given by  → 2 ∕(2Var( 1 )).…”

“…Note that in the proposed algorithm we do not compute the implied volatility and do not use Dupire's formula [12,[19][20][21]. Instead, we directly compute the time-dependent volatility function from option prices and the BS equation.…”
