Abstract:This paper explores the first passage times of stochastic volatility CEV model. We mainly solve the joint Laplace transform of the first hitting time and volatility. Firstly, we use the Itô formula to construct the martingale which can convert the problem into the process of solving a differential equation. Then, we introduce an appropriate second order variable coefficient ordinary differential equation, after a change of variable, it is turned to the Whittaker's equation. It's not difficult to get the general solution of Whittaker's equation. Thus, the explicit expressions for the joint Laplace transformation of the first passage times of stochastic volatility CEV model can be derived. Finally, selecting the parameters γ be 0, 1/2 and 1, let the asset price process covers the O-U process, geometric Brownian motion and square root process. Under different parameters, we obtain explicit expression of the joint Laplace transformation function, and use Matlab to draw the corresponding diagram and analyze the trend of graph.
