TL;DR
This work develops a Malliavin-calculus-based sensitivity analysis for mean-field SDEs with jumps, establishing existence and Malliavin differentiability of solutions in Wiener-Poisson space and deriving a chaos-expansion-based Delta formula that does not rely on the chain rule. It provides explicit Malliavin weight constructions for computing Delta of path-dependent payoffs, including European calls and barrier options, and proves convergence of Euler-based Delta approximations. The approach yields variance reduction compared with finite-difference methods and demonstrates practical efficacy through numerical experiments on jump-diffusion McKean-Vlasov models. The results advance risk management and derivative pricing in complex systems where coefficients depend on both the state and its law, under discontinuous dynamics.
Abstract
In this paper, we describe an explicit extension formula in sensitivity analysis regarding the Malliavin weight for jump-diffusion mean-field stochastic differential equations whose local Lipschitz drift coefficients are influenced by the product of the solution and its law. We state that these extended equations have unique Malliavin differentiable solutions in Wiener-Poisson space and establish the sensitivity analysis of path-dependent discontinuous payoff functions. It will be realized after finding a relation between the stochastic flow of the solutions and their derivatives. The Malliavin derivatives are defined in a chaos approach in which the chain rule is not held. The convergence of the Euler method to approximate Delta Greek is proved. The simulation experiment illustrates our results to compute the Delta, in the context of financial mathematics, and demonstrates that the Malliavin Monte-Carlo computations applied in our formula are more efficient than using the finite difference method directly.
