Abstract

We provide a thorough analysis of the path-dependent volatility model introduced by Guyon [30], proving existence and uniqueness of a strong solution, characterising its behaviour at boundary points, providing asymptotic closed-form option prices as well as deriving small-time behaviour estimates.
