English abstract:
We consider the problem of identifying volatility functions in Black-Scholes type equations from market data. Starting from an overview on different approaches, we focus on an optimal control approach in a Lagrangian framework. A regularized cost functional is minimized over a suitable set of admissible volatilities. We present analytical results on first- and second-order optimality as well as numerical results.
