The Greeks of options are problematic to calculate both numerically and analytically when the structure of the payoff function of option is complex. This problem can be solved by employing Malliavin calculus. In this study, we summarize the fundamentals of Malliavin Calculus which are useful for computing the sensitivities of options. Then, we use these fundamentals to derive explicit formulas for the Greeks of European and Asian options for the Black-Scholes model and Heston stochastic volatility model. Further, we numerically compute the Greeks of options on ISE and illustrate our results.

On decoding interleaved reed-solomon codes Yayla, Oğuz; Özbudak, Ferruh; Department of Cryptography (2011) Probabilistic simultaneous polynomial reconstruction algorithm of Bleichenbacher-Kiayias-Yung is extended to the polynomials whose degrees are allowed to be distinct. Furthermore, it is observed that probability of the algorithm can be increased. Specifically, for a finite field $\F$, we present a probabilistic algorithm which can recover polynomials $p_1,\ldots, p_r \in \F[x]$ of degree less than $k_1,k_2,\ldots,k_r$, respectively with given field evaluations $p_l(z_i) = y_{i,l}$ for all $i \in I$, $
Computation of option greeks under hybrid stochastic volatility models via Malliavin calculus Yilmaz, Bilgi (VTeX, 2018) This study introduces computation of option sensitivities (Greeks) using the Malliavin calculus under the assumption that the underlying asset and interest rate both evolve from a stochastic volatility model and a stochastic interest rate model, respectively. Therefore, it integrates the recent developments in the Malliavin calculus for the computation of Greeks: Delta, Vega, and Rho and it extends the method slightly. The main results show that Malliavin calculus allows a running Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm...
COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODS TO COMPUTE THE GREEKS Yılmaz, Bilgi; İnkaya, Bülent Alper; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz (null; 2013-10-29) The Greeks in finance are the partial derivatives of a financial quantity with respect to any of the model parameters. These derivatives could serve to measure the stability of the financial quantity under study (e.g. delta is the derivative of an option price with respect to the initial price) or to hedging a certain payoff (Higa and Montero, 2004). The Greeks are useful tools in finance which help to understand how the option reacts to a change in the parameters. The information gained from calculated Gre...
Evaluation of pushover analysis procedures for frame structure Oğuz, Sermin; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Pushover analysis involves certain approximations and simplifications that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. In literature, some improved pushover procedures have been proposed to overcome the certain limitations of traditional pushover procedures. The effects and the accuracy of invariant lateral load patterns utilised in pushover analysis to predict the behavior imposed on the structure due to randomly selected individual ground motions...
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...
