Abstract

The solution of the FokkerPlanck equation for exponential Brownian functionals usually involves spectral expansions that are difficult to compute explicitly. In this paper, we propose a direct solution based on heat kernels and a new integral representation for the square modulus of the Gamma function. A financial application to bond pricing in the Dothan model is also presented. © 2010 World Scientific Publishing Company.
