The Hartman-Watson Distribution revisited: Asymptotics for Pricing Asian Options
arXiv:1011.4830
Abstract
Barrieu, Rouault, and Yor [J. Appl. Probab. 41 (2004)] determined asymptotics for the logarithm of the distribution function of the Hartman-Watson distribution. We determine the asymptotics of the density. This refinement can be applied to the pricing of Asian options in the Black-Scholes model.
