This book addresses the applications of Fourier transform to smile modeling. Smile effect is used generically bynancial engineers and risk managers to refer to the inconsistences of quoted implied volatilities invfinancial markets, or more mat- matically, to the leptokurtic distributions of financial assets and indices. Therefore, a sound modeling of smile effect is the central challenge in quantitative finance. Since more than one decade, Fourier transform has triggered a technical revolution in option pricing theory. Almost all new developed option pricing models, es- cially in connection with shastic volatility and random jump, have extensively applied Fourier transform and the corresponding inverse transform to express - tion pricing formulas. The large accommodation of the Fourier transform allows for a very convenient modeling with a general class of shastic processes and d- tributions. This book is then intended to present a comprehensive treatment of the Fourier transform in the option valuation, covering the most shastic factors such as shastic volatilities and interest rates, Poisson and Levy ´ jumps, including some asset classes such as equity, FX and interest rates, and providing numerical ex- ples and prototype programming codes. I hope that readers will benefit from this book not only by gaining an overview of the advanced theory and the vast large l- erature on these topics, but also by gaining a first-hand feedback from the practice on the applications and implementations of the theory.
