Since the presence of highly oscillatory terms in the solutions forces any explicit integrator to use very small step size, the numerical integration of such systems provides a challenging task. It has been suggested before to replace the strong potential by a holonomic constraint that forces the solutions to stay at the equilibrium value of the potential. This approach has, e.g., been successfully applied to the bond stretching in molecular dynamics simulations. In other cases, such as the bond-angle bending, this methods fails due to the introduced rigidity. Here we give a careful analysis of the analytical problem by means of a smoothing operator. This will lead us to the notion of the smoothed dynamics of a highly oscillatory Hamiltonian system.

A linear equation is derived under the perfect correlation assumption on returns for a derivative security and a stock, and its solutions for European put and call options are obtained. It is also shown that the solution violates the perfect correlation assumption unless a process is gaussian. Thus, for a family of truncated L{\´e}vy distributions, the perfect hedging is impossible even in the continuous time limit. A second linear analogue of the Black-Scholes equation is obtained by constructing a portfolio which eliminates fluctuations of the first order and assuming that the portfolio is risk-free; it is shown that this assumption fails unless a process is gaussian. It is shown that the di erence between solutions to the linear analogues of the Black-Scholes equations and solutions to the Black-Scholes equations are sizable. The equations and solutions can be written in a discretized approximate form which uses an observed probability distribution only. Non-linear analogues for the Black-Scholes equation are derived from the non-arbitrage condition, and approximate formulas for solutions of these equations are suggested. Assuming that a linear generalization of the Black-Scholes equation holds, we derive an explicit pricing formula for the perpetual American put option and produce numerical results which show that the difference between our result and the classical Merton's formula obtained for gaussian processes can be substantial.

Since the algebra in question is a microlocalization of the Lie algebra of typical vector fields on a manifold with edges, such complexes are of great geometric interest. In particular, the de Rham and Dolbeault complexes on manifolds with edges fit into this framework. To each complex there correspond two sequences of symbols, one of the two controls the interior ellipticity while the other sequence controls the ellipticity at the edges.
