With some transformations, we convert the problem of option pricing under state-dependent volatility into an initial value problem of the Fokker-Planck equation with a certain potential. By using the Lie symmetry analysis and similarity…
Our goal here is to discuss the pricing problem of European and American options in discrete time using elementary calculus so as to be an easy reference for first year undergraduate students. Using the binomial model we compute the fair…
This paper investigates the initial value problem for a system of one-dimensional fourth-order dispersive partial differential-integral equations with nonlinearity involving derivatives up to second order. Examples of the system arise in…
A choice of first-order variables for the characteristic problem of the linearized Einstein equations is found which casts the system into manifestly well-posed form. The concept of well-posedness for characteristic problems invoked is that…
We characterize the price of a European option on several assets for a very risk averse seller, in a market with small transaction costs as a solution of a nonlinear diffusion equation. This problem turns out to be one of asymptotic…
We propose the deep parametric PDE method to solve high-dimensional parametric partial differential equations. A single neural network approximates the solution of a whole family of PDEs after being trained without the need of sample…
The vast majority of works on option pricing operate on the assumption of risk neutral valuation, and consequently focus on the expected value of option returns, and do not consider risk parameters, such as variance. We show that it is…
This paper is dedicated to the construction of high-order (in both space and time) finite-difference schemes for both forward and backward PDEs and PIDEs, such that option prices obtained by solving both the forward and backward equations…
In this paper, we study the option pricing problems for rough volatility models. As the framework is non-Markovian, the value function for a European option is not deterministic; rather, it is random and satisfies a backward stochastic…
This work studies stability and robustness of a nonlinear system given as an interconnection of an ODE and a parabolic PDE subjected to external disturbances entering through the boundary conditions of the parabolic equation. To this end we…
We study the problem of finding probability densities that match given European call option prices. To allow prior information about such a density to be taken into account, we generalise the algorithm presented in Neri and Schneider (2011)…
We consider the superhedging price of an exotic option under nondominated model uncertainty in discrete time in which the option buyer chooses some action from an (uncountable) action space at each time step. By introducing an enlarged…
In this paper we study partial differential equations (PDEs) that can be used to model value adjustments. Different value adjustments denoted generally as xVA are nowadays added to the risk-free financial derivative values and the PDE…
In this paper, we combine modern portfolio theory and option pricing theory so that a trader who takes a position in a European option contract and the underlying assets can construct an optimal portfolio such that at the moment of the…
This work addresses the problem of optimal pricing and hedging of a European option on an illiquid asset Z using two proxies: a liquid asset S and a liquid European option on another liquid asset Y. We assume that the S-hedge is dynamic…
We propose a new high-order alternating direction implicit (ADI) finite difference scheme for the solution of initial-boundary value problems of convection-diffusion type with mixed derivatives and non-constant coefficients, as they arise…
In recent work, we used pseudo-differential theory to establish conditions that the initial-boundary value problem for second order systems of wave equations be strongly well-posed in a generalized sense. The applications included the…
This work is focused on the solvability of initial-boundary value problems for degenerate parabolic partial differential equations that arise in the pricing of Asian options, and on the investigation of differential and certain qualitative…
We derive a new high-order compact finite difference scheme for option pricing in stochastic volatility models. The scheme is fourth-order accurate in space and second-order accurate in time. Under some restrictions, theoretical results…
In mathematical finance a popular approach for pricing options under some Levy model is to consider underlying that follows a Poisson jump diffusion process. As it is well known this results in a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE)…
