This book introduces Uncertain Volatility Models in mathematical finance and their computer implementation for portfolios of vanilla, barrier and American options in equity and FX markets. Uncertain Volatility Models place subjective constraints such as upper and lower bounds on volatility and evaluate option portfolios under worst- and best-case scenarios. This book is for graduate students, researchers and practitioners who wish to study advanced aspects of volatility risk in portfolios of vanilla and exotic options. The accompanying CD contains the source code of a C++ implementation of the algorithms presented in the book.

From the reviews: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "The book bridges theory and real-world problems in a clear and pragmatic fashion. It can be useful both for academics and professionals in the financial community." "This book, which comes out of the author's Ph.D. thesis, introduces uncertain volatility models. ... The formal results are illustrated by many empirical examples. ... The book bridges theory and real-world problems in a clear and pragmatic fashion. It can be useful both for academics and for professionals in the financial community." (Damir Filipovic, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 i) "The book is devoted to the study of uncertain volatility models that evaluate option portfolios ... . The author travels in this book the entire road from innovative mathematical finance to a working software system ... . Practitioners and students who need to build analytic software libraries may benefit from reading this book ... . This book is also for graduate students and researchers who wish to study advanced aspects of volatility risk in portfolios of vanilla and exotic options."
