Abstract
Abstract Plain vanilla options have a single underlying asset and a single condition on the payoff at the expiration date. For this class of options, a well known result of Duffie, Pan, and Singleton (Duffie, D., J. Pan, and K. Singleton. 2000. “Transform Analysis and Asset Pricing for Affine Jump-Diffusions.” Econometrica 68: 1343–1376. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1468-0262.00164 .) shows how to invert the characteristic function to obtain a closed-form formula for their prices. However, multiple-asset and multiple-condition derivatives such as rainbow options cannot be priced within this framework. This paper provides an analytical solution for options whose payoffs depends on two or more conditions. We take the advantage of the inversion of the Fourier transform, resorting to neither Black and Scholes’s framework, nor the affine models’s settings. Numerical experiments based on the aforementioned class of derivatives are provided to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
