In this paper a time-fractional Black-Scholes model (TFBSM) is considered to study the price change of the underlying fractal transmission system. We develop and analyze a numerical method to solve the TFBSM governing European options. The…
Using the option delta systematically, we derive tighter lower and upper bounds of the Black-Scholes implied volatility than those in Tehranchi [SIAM J. Financ. Math. 7 (2016), 893-916]. As an application, we propose a Newton-Raphson…
We propose a stable sixth-order compact finite difference scheme with a dynamic fifth-order staggered boundary scheme and 3(2) R-K Bogacki and Shampine adaptive time stepping for pricing American style options. To locate, fix and compute…
In this paper, we present a numerical verification method of solutions for nonlinear parabolic initial boundary value problems. Decomposing the problem into a nonlinear part and an initial value part, we apply Nakao's projection method,…
This study investigates enhancing option pricing by extending the Black-Scholes model to include stochastic volatility and interest rate variability within the Partial Differential Equation (PDE). The PDE is solved using the finite…
In this paper we propose a closed-form approximation for the price of basket options under a multivariate Black-Scholes model, based on Taylor expansions and the calculation of mixed exponential-power moments of a Gaussian distribution. Our…
In the empirical study of evolutionary algorithms, the solution quality is evaluated by either the fitness value or approximation error. The latter measures the fitness difference between an approximation solution and the optimal solution.…
We study an optimal execution problem in the infinite horizon setup. Our financial market is given by the Black-Scholes model with a linear price impact. The main novelty of the current note is that we study the constrained case where the…
We consider the problem of maximising expected utility from terminal wealth in a semimartingale setting, where the semimartingale is written as a sum of a time-changed Brownian motion and a finite variation process. To solve this problem,…
The standard Black-Scholes theory of option pricing is extended to cope with underlying return fluctuations described by general probability distributions. A Langevin process and its related Fokker-Planck equation are devised to model the…
We consider the initial boundary value problem for free-evolution formulations of general relativity coupled to a parametrized family of coordinate conditions that includes both the moving puncture and harmonic gauges. We concentrate…
We study the point of transition between complete and incomplete financial models thanks to Dirichlet Forms methods. We apply recent techniques, developped by Bouleau, to hedging procedures in order to perturbate parameters and stochastic…
We present a new approximation scheme for the price and exercise policy of American options. The scheme is based on Hermite polynomial expansions of the transition density of the underlying asset dynamics and the early exercise premium…
Convertible bonds give rise to the so-called free boundary; i.e., an unknown boundary between continuation and conversion regions of the bond. The characteristic feature of such a bond, with an extra call feature, is that the free boundary…
We consider a hyperbolic free boundary problem by means of minimizing time discretized functionals of Crank-Nicolson type. The feature of this functional is that it enjoys energy conservation in the absence of free boundaries, which is an…
In this paper, we propose the uncertain volatility models with stochastic bounds. Like the regular uncertain volatility models, we know only that the true model lies in a family of progressively measurable and bounded processes, but instead…
The multi-direct-forcing immersed boundary method allows for a small velocity error of the no-slip condition in moving-particle problems but suffers from numerical instability if simulation parameters are not carefully chosen. This study…
In this paper the valuation problem of a European call option in presence of both stochastic volatility and transaction costs is considered. In the limit of small transaction costs and fast mean reversion, an asymptotic expression for the…
A method is proposed for accurately describing arbitrary-shaped free boundaries in single-grid finite-difference schemes for elastodynamics, in a time-domain velocity-stress framework. The basic idea is as follows: fictitious values of the…
Our goal is to analyze the system of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations arising in derivative securities pricing models. The European style of an option price is constructed as a difference of the certainty equivalents to the value functions…
