Recovering implied distribution.


uppose we are given the functions MATH for all values $k$ . We recover the distribution density MATH given by the relationship MATH for values $x,t,T$ by repeated differentiation of $C$ or $P$ : MATH

MATH (Distribution density via Call)
Similarly, MATH Note, MATH

All calculations are dependent on the point of observation MATH .
