Abstract
Our goal is to identify the volatility function in Dupire’s equation from given option prices. Following an optimal control approach in a Lagrangian framework, a globalized sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm combined with a primal-dual active set strategy is proposed. Existence of local optimal solutions and of Lagrange multipliers is shown. Furthermore, a sufficient second-order optimality condition is proved. Finally, some numerical results are presented underlining the good properties of the numerical scheme.
