About this journal
The Journal of Computational Finance is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the area of financial mathematics. The journal is focused on the measurement, management and analysis of financial risk, and provides detailed insight into numerical and computational techniques in the pricing, hedging and risk management of financial instruments.
The journal welcomes papers dealing with innovative computational techniques in the following areas:
- Numerical solutions of pricing equations: finite differences, finite elements, and spectral techniques in one and multiple dimensions.
- Simulation approaches in pricing and risk management: advances in Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methodologies; new strategies for market factors simulation.
- Optimization techniques in hedging and risk management.
- Fundamental numerical analysis relevant to finance: effect of boundary treatments on accuracy; new discretization of time-series analysis.
- Developments in free-boundary problems in finance: alternative ways and numerical implications in American option pricing.

Pricing barrier options with deep backward stochastic differential equation methods
This paper presents a novel and direct approach to solving boundary- and final-value problems, corresponding to barrier options, using forward pathwise deep learning and forward–backward stochastic differential equations.
Stability and convergence of Galerkin schemes for parabolic equations with application to Kolmogorov pricing equations in time-inhomogeneous Lévy models
In this paper the authors derive stability and convergence of fully discrete approximation schemes of solutions to linear parabolic evolution equations governed by time-dependent coercive operators.
Robust product Markovian quantization
In this paper the authors formulate the one-dimensional RMQ and d-dimensional PMQ algorithms as standard vector quantization problems by deriving the density, distribution and lower partial expectation functions of the random variables to be quantized at…
Automatic differentiation for diffusion operator integral variance reduction
This paper demonstrates applications of automatic differentiation with nested dual numbers in the diffusion operator integral variance-reduction framework originally proposed by Heath and Platen.
Probabilistic machine learning for local volatility
In this paper, the authors propose to approach the calibration problem of local volatility with Bayesian statistics to infer a conditional distribution over functions given observed data.
Rainbows and transforms: semi-analytic formulas
In this paper the authors show how the techniques introduced by Hurd and Zhou in 2010 can be used to derive a pricing framework for rainbow options by using the joint characteristic function of the logarithm of the underlying assets.
Branching diffusions with jumps, and valuation with systemic counterparties
This paper extends the branching diffusion Monte Carlo method of Henry-Labordère et al to the case of parabolic partial differential equations with mixed local–nonlocal analytic nonlinearities.
A review of tree-based approaches to solving forward–backward stochastic differential equations
This paper looks at ways of solving (decoupled) forward–backward stochastic differential equations numerically using regression trees.
An artificial neural network representation of the SABR stochastic volatility model
In this paper the universal approximation theorem of artificial neural networks (ANNs) is applied to the stochastic alpha beta rho (SABR) stochastic volatility model in order to construct highly efficient representations.
Quantization-based Bermudan option pricing in the foreign exchange world
This paper proposes two numerical solutions based on product optimal quantization for the pricing of Bermudan options on foreign exchange rates.
Deep learning for discrete-time hedging in incomplete markets
This paper presents several algorithms based on machine learning to solve hedging problems in incomplete markets.
Pricing American options under negative rates
This paper derives a new integral equation for American options under negative rates and shows how to solve this new equation through modifications to the modern and efficient algorithm of Andersen and Lake.
Fast pricing of American options under variance gamma
This research develops a new fast and accurate approximation method, inspired by the quadratic approximation, to get rid of the time steps required in finite-difference and simulation methods, while reducing error by making use of a machine learning…
Expansion method for pricing foreign exchange options under stochastic volatility and interest rates
This paper applies the smart expansion method to the Heston–Hull–White model, which admits stochastic interest rates to enhance the model, and obtains the expansion formula for pricing options in the model up to second order.
A simple and robust approach for expected shortfall estimation
This paper proposes a simple and robust expected shortfall estimation method based on the tail-based normal approximation.
The effects of transaction costs and illiquidity on the prices of volatility derivatives
This paper employs a PDE approach to price several volatility derivatives under different transaction costs and illiquidity models.

This work presents an efficient computational framework for pricing a general class of exotic and vanilla options under a versatile stochastic volatility model.
Calibration of local-stochastic and path-dependent volatility models to vanilla and no-touch options
In this paper, the authors consider a large class of continuous semi-martingale models and propose a generic framework for their simultaneous calibration to vanilla and no-touch options.
Penalty methods for bilateral XVA pricing in European and American contingent claims by a partial differential equation model
Under some assumptions, the valuation of financial derivatives, including a value adjustment to account for default risk (the so-called XVA), gives rise to a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE). The authors propose numerical methods for…
Gradient boosting for quantitative finance
In this paper, the authors discuss how tree-based machine learning techniques can be used in the context of derivatives pricing.
