For deterministic square-integrable volatility, apply Itô's formula to the exponential to obtainThe stochastic integral is centered Gaussian with variance .
Under the risk-neutral measure the drift is . Conditional on , put and . ThenIntegrating the discounted call option against this normal distribution yieldsThus the total remaining variance replaces throughout the ordinary formula; the corresponding effective constant volatility is . If , use the limiting deterministic value .
