ABSTRACT Polynomial processes have the property that expectations of polynomial functions (of degree n, say) of the future state of the process conditional on the current state are given by polynomials (of degree ≤ n) of the current state. Here we explore the potential of polynomial maps of polynomial processes for modelling energy prices. We focus on the example of Alberta power prices, derive one- and two-factor models for spot prices. We examine their performance in numerical experiments…

Pricing of Commodity and Energy Derivatives for Polynomial Processes
TLDR
This work derives a tailor-made framework for efficient polynomial approximation of the main derivatives encountered in commodity and energy markets, encompassing a wide range of arithmetic and geometric models.
Correlators of Polynomial Processes
In the setting of polynomial jump-diffusion dynamics, we provide a formula for computing correlators, namely, cross-moments of the process at different time points along its path. The formula…
PR ] 2 6 Ju n 20 19 Correlators of Polynomial Processes
A process is polynomial if its extended generator maps any polynomial to a polynomial of equal or lower degree. Then its conditional moments can be calculated in closed form, up to the computation of…
Abstract polynomial processes.
We suggest a novel approach to polynomial processes solely based on a polynomial action operator. With this approach, we can analyse such processes on general state spaces, going far beyond Banach…
Markov Cubature Rules for Polynomial Processes
TLDR
Markov cubature rules aid the tractability of path-dependent tasks such as American option pricing in models where the underlying factors are polynomial processes.
Probability measure-valued jump-diffusions in finance and related topics
The martingale problem is known to be a classical and very powerful technology for the study of Markov processes through the analytical properties of the corresponding generators. This approach…

We develop a comprehensive mathematical framework for polynomial jump-diffusions in a semimartingale context, which nest affine jump-diffusions and have broad applications in finance. We show that…
Polynomial Jump-Diffusion Models
TLDR
A large class of novel financial asset pricing models that are based on polynomial jump-diffusions are introduced, including a generic method for option pricing based on moment expansions.
Solution of integrals with fractional Brownian motion for different Hurst indices
In this paper, we will evaluate integrals that define the conditional expectation, variance and characteristic function of stochastic processes with respect to fractional Brownian motion (fBm) for all…
A Multifactor Polynomial Framework for Long-Term Electricity Forwards with Delivery Period
TLDR
A rolling hedge is suggested which only uses liquid forward contracts and is risk-minimizing in the sense of F\"ollmer and Schweizer and can be calibrated to observed electricity forward curves easily and well.

We introduce a class of Markov processes, called m-polynomial, for which the calculation of (mixed) moments up to order m only requires the computation of matrix exponentials. This class contains…
