Small-time asymptotics and expansions of option prices under Levy-based models

This thesis is concerned with the small-time asymptotics and expansions of call option prices, when the log-return processes of the underlying stock prices follow several Levy-based models. To be specific, we derive the time-to-maturity asymptotic behavior for both at-the-money (ATM), out-of-the-mone...
