The calibration of volatility for option pricing models with jump diffusion processes

This paper is devoted to calibrate smooth local volatility surface under jump-diffusion processes. This calibration problem is posed as an inverse problem: given a finite set of observed European option prices, find a local volatility function such that the theoretical option prices matches the observed ones optimally with respect to a prescribed performance criterion. Firstly, we obtain an Euler-Lagrange equation for the calibration problem using Tikhonov regularization method. Then we solve the Euler–Lagrange equation using an iterative algorithm and obtain the volatility. Finally, numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
