Abstract

We derive a quasilinear degenerate parabolic partial differential equation linking the implied and local volatility in the extended Black–Scholes model. Using this equation we establish a closed-form asymptotic formula for the implied volatility near expiry. This in turn leads us to propose a new formulation of the calibration problem near expiry which we show to be well-posed.
