Uniform Asymptotic Expansions for Pricing European Options

Starting with a stochastic volatility model, in which the volatility depends on a nonlinear function of a fast varying diffusion, and assuming the fast diffusion is mean reverting, the problem of pricing European options is considered in this paper. Uniform asymptotic expansions of the option price are obtained. The formal expansions are justified and the uniform error bounds are derived using outer and inner expansions of the option prices.
