Abstract

We consider an inverse problem of partial integro-differential equations of market prices of call options with many maturities and strike prices for geometric Lévy processes. We show the well-posedness (reconstruction, uniqueness, and stability) of the inverse problem among the class of infinitely divisible distributions with analyticity.
