Lecture 2. Evaluation of probability distributions and pricing European options in Lévy models -

Lecture 3. Simplified trapezoid rule, Fast Fourier Transform and its variations -

Lecture 4. Conformal acceleration techniques -

Lecture 5. Barrier options with discrete monitoring and Bermudan options. Calculations in the state space -

Lecture 6. Barrier options with discrete monitoring and Bermudan options. Calculations in the dual space -

Lecture 7. Wiener-Hopf factorization -

Lecture 8. Contingent claims with continuous monitoring, boundary value problems and Wiener-Hopf factorization -

Lecture 9. Options with continuous monitoring, cont-d -

Lecture 10. Affine models -

Lecture 11. American options with infinite time horizon -
