We propose a hybrid tree-finite difference method in order to approximate the Heston model. We prove the convergence by embedding the procedure in a bivariate Markov chain and we study the convergence of European and American option prices.…
We develop a model for indifference pricing in derivatives markets where price quotes have bid-ask spreads and finite quantities. The model quantifies the dependence of the prices and hedging portfolios on an investor's beliefs, risk…
We provide an efficient and accurate simulation scheme for the rough Heston model in the standard ($H>0$) as well as the hyper-rough regime ($H > -1/2$). The scheme is based on low-dimensional Markovian approximations of the rough Heston…
This paper presents a multinomial method for option pricing when the underlying asset follows an exponential Variance Gamma process. The continuous time Variance Gamma process is approximated by a discrete time Markov chain with the same…
Recent empirical studies suggest that the volatility of an underlying price process may have correlations that decay slowly under certain market conditions. In this paper, the volatility is modeled as a stationary process with long-range…
We propose a block finite difference, error inhibiting scheme that is fourth-order accurate for short to moderate times and has a six-order convergence rate for long times. This scheme outperforms the standard fourth-order Finite Difference…

Recently a useful finite-difference scheme was proposed in [Phys. Rev. E 98, 033302 (2018)] to solve Fokker-Planck equations with drift-admitting jumps. However, while the scheme is fifth order for the case with smooth drifts, it is only…
