Variance swap pricing for drifting price process.


e expand considerations of the section ( Variance swap pricing ) to the process $Y_{t}$ given by MATH and the $\Omega_{T}^{Y}$ is defined as before: MATH

We introduce $X_{t}$ by the relationship MATH then MATH hence MATH Observe that MATH hence, according to the section ( Variance swap pricing ) MATH MATH

For the purposes of the next section we need a formula that expresses the MATH in terms of $Y_{T}$ . Hence, we calculate further
