The topic of this book is the development of pricing formulae forEuropean style derivatives on assets with mean-reverting behavior,especially commodity derivatives. For this class of assets, convenienceyield effects lead to mean-reversion under the risk-neutral measure.Mean-reversion in the log-price process is combined with otherstochastic factors such as stochastic volatility, jumps in theunderlying and the price process and a stochastic target level as wellas with deterministic seasonality effects. Another focus is onnumerical algorithms to calculate the Fourier integral as well as tointegrate systems of ordinary differential equations.
