One of the fundamental research areas in the financial mathematics is option pricing. With the emergence of Black-Scholes model, the partial differential equations (PDE) for option pricing have started to be used widely. PDEs are adopted for both finding numerical and analytical solutions and developing new models for option pricing. One of the significant PDE is fractional Black-Scholes PDE. Essentially, a PDE can become non-local with fractionalization and this non-localization enables to expand the time frame of that equation. Several fractional Black Scholes equations are proposed in literature. The ones relevant to the topic of this thesis are summarized. The main contribution of this thesis is the development of new fractional Black-Scholes PDE through fractional heat equation and fractional Brownian motion. The new models are evaluated for particular cases and correspondence with Black Scholes PDE is noticed. Moreover, because the valuation of option is as necessary as the derivation of an option valuation model, the explicit method is expanded to a fractional explicit method. The new method is to find a numerical solution. The Fractional Black Scholes PDE is solved by the proposed fractional explicit method and the solutions are compared with the classical ones.

Exploring House Price Dynamics: An Agent-Based Simulation with Behavioral Heterogeneity Ozbakan, Tolga A.; Kale, Serdar; Dikmen Toker, İrem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-01) The objective of this study is to contribute to the understanding of price formations in housing markets through an agent-based simulation that conceptualizes insights from behavioral economics. For this purpose, the study uses a prominent real estate market model as a benchmark and extends it to account for (1) behavioral heterogeneity and (2) dynamic agent interaction. The validation of the model is carried out by using real data from the Turkish housing market. The results show that the introduction of a...
Computation of the greeks in black-scholes-merton and stochastic volatility models using malliavin calculus Yılmaz, Bilgi; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014) The computation of the Greeks of options is an essential aspect of financial mathematics. The investors use the information gained from this aspect for hedging purposes or to decide whether to invest in an option or not. However, computation of the Greeks is not straightforward in some cases due to technical difficulties. For instance, the value function of some options are complicated or moreover in some cases they might not have a closed form solution which makes the computation of their Greeks cumbersome...
Analysis of volatility feedback and leverage effects on the ISE30 index using high frequency data Inkaya, A.; Okur, Y. Yolcu (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-15) In this study, we employ the techniques of Malliavin calculus to analyze the volatility feedback and leverage effects for a better understanding of financial market dynamics. We estimate both effects for a general semimartingale model applying Fourier analysis developed in Malliavin and Mancino (2002) [10]. We further investigate their joint behaviour using 5 min data of the ISE30 index. On the basis of these estimations, we look for the evidence that volatility feedback effect rate can be employed in the s...
Modelling and implementation of local volatility surfaces Animoku, Abdulwahab; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014) In this thesis, Dupire local volatility model is studied in details as a means of modeling the volatility structure of a financial asset. In this respect, several forms of local volatility equations have been derived: Dupire's local volatility, local volatility as conditional expectation, and local volatility as a function of implied volatility. We have proven the main results of local volatility model discussed in the literature in details. In addition, we have also proven the local volatility model under ...
Option pricing in interest rate derivatives Küçüksaraç, Doruk; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2020) The valuation of interest rate derivatives and embedded options in fixed-income securities is crucial for market practitioners. Although there have been many models to price interest rate derivatives, the inconsistency across the assumptions of the models creates difficulty in aggregating interest rate exposures. Besides, the models tend to be applicable to specific cases. In this regard, adaptation of a general methodology to price all interest rate derivatives without making additional assumptions has cri...
