      for an arbitrary positive real number λ and nonnegative integers m and q.

      Moreover, Pagliarani and Pascucci (2017) established an asymptotic expansion of the implied volatility in the following form:

      [2.2]

      as (T,k) approaches (t,x) within .

      We apply the above described theory to the double-mean-reverting model by Gatheral (2008) given by the following system of stochastic differential equations:

      [2.3]

      where the Wiener processes are correlated: , and where parameters κ1,κ2, θ, ξ1, ξ2, α1, α2 are the positive real numbers. Note that while S₀ is observable in the market, ν0 and are usually not observable and may be calibrated from the market data on options.

      In this model, with rate κ₁ the variance νt mean reverts to a level which itself moves over time to the level θ at a (usually slower rate) κ2, hence the name double-mean-reverting. Here, parameters α1, α2 ∈ [1/2,1]. In the case of α1 = α2 = 1/2, we have the so-called double Heston model; in the case of α1 = α2 = 1, the double lognormal model; and finally, in the general case, the double CEV model (Gatheral 2008).

The DMR model can be consistently calibrated to both the SPX options and the VIX options. However, due to the lack of an explicit formula for both the European option price and the implied volatility, the calibration is usually done using time-consuming methods like the Monte Carlo simulation or the finite difference method. In this chapter, we provide an explicit solution to the implied volatility under this model.

      In section 2.2, we formulate three theorems that give the asymptotic expansions of implied volatility of orders 0, 1 and 2. Detailed proof of Theorems 2.1 and 2.2 as well as a short proof of Theorem 2.3 without technicalities are given in section 2.3.

2.2. The results

      Put xt = ln St.

      THEOREM 2.1.- The asymptotic expansion of order 0 of the implied volatility has the form

      THEOREM 2.2.- The asymptotic expansion of order 1 of the implied volatility has the form

      THEOREM 2.3.- The asymptotic expansion of order 2 of the implied volatility has the form

      [2.4]

2.3. Proofs

      PROOF OF THEOREM 2.1.- First, we perform the change of variable χt = ln St in the system [2.3]. Using the multidimensional Itô formula, we obtain

The infinitesimal generator of this system is

      with z = (x,y,z)^T. We have

      From Pagliarani and Pascucci (2017), Definition 3.4, we have

[2.5]

where the terms on the right-hand side of equation [2.5] are the values of the functions given by (Pagliarani and Pascucci 2017, Equation 3.15), when , and . (Pagliarani and Pascucci 2017, Equation 3.15) is recursive, and we define the above functions for n = 0 first.
