    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to present the new results concerning some
    functionals of Brownian motion with drift and present their applications in
    financial mathematics. We find a probabilistic representation of the Laplace
    transform of special functional of geometric Brownian motion using the squared
    Bessel and radial Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. Knowing the transition density
    functions of the above we obtain computable formulas for certain expectations
    of the concerned functional.

    Abstract

    We derive probabilistic representations for the probability density function
    of the arbitrage price of a financial asset and the price of European call and
    put options in a linear stochastic volatility model with correlated Brownian
    noises. In such models the asset price satisfies a linear SDE with coefficient
    of linearity being the volatility process. Examples of such models are
    considered, including a log-normal stochastic volatility model. In all examples
    a closed formula for the density function is given.
