Exact boundary conditions at finite distance for the solutions of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation are derived. A numerical scheme based on Crank-Nicholson method is proposed to illustrate its applicability in several examples.
We propose a probabilistic framework for pricing derivatives, which acknowledges that information and beliefs are subjective. Market prices can be translated into implied probabilities. In particular, futures imply returns for these implied…
We propose a method to bound the expectation of the supremum of the price process in stochastic volatility models. It can be applied, for example, to the rough Bergomi model, avoiding the need to discuss finiteness of higher moments. Our…
Following the foundational work of the Black--Scholes model, extensive research has been developed to price the option by addressing its underlying assumptions and associated pricing biases. This study introduces a novel framework for…
We consider an incomplete multi-asset binomial market model. We prove that for a wide class of contingent claims the extremal multi-step martingale measure is a power of the corresponding single-step extremal martingale measure. This allows…
In this paper, we discuss differentiation of solutions to the boundary value problem $y^{(n)} = f(x, y, y^{'}, y^{''}, \ldots, y^{(n-1)}), \; a<x<b,\; y^{(i)}(x_j) = y_{ij},\; 0\leq i \leq m_j, \; 1 \leq j \leq k-1$, and $y^{(i)}(x_k) +…
In this study, we consider a class of backward SDE driven by jump Markov process. An existence and uniqueness result to this kind of equations is obtained in a locally Lipschitz case. We essentially approximate the initial problem by…
We develop a quantum algorithm to price discretely monitored lookback options in the Black-Scholes framework using imaginary time evolution. By rewriting the pricing PDE as a Schrodinger-type equation, the problem becomes the imaginary time…
In this paper we extend discrete time semi-static trading strategies by also allowing for dynamic trading in a finite amount of options, and we study the consequences for the model-independent super-replication prices of exotic derivatives.…
In this article, a compact finite difference method is proposed for pricing European and American options under jump-diffusion models. Partial integro-differential equation and linear complementary problem governing European and American…
A new reformulation of a free boundary problem for the Stokes equations governing a viscous flow with overdetermined condition on the free boundary is proposed. The idea of the method is to transform the governing equations to a boundary…
We propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, originated from quantum chemistry, to price European and Asian options in the Black-Scholes model. Our approach is based on the equivalence between the pricing partial differential equation…
Using neural networks, we compute bounds on the prices of multi-asset derivatives given information on prices of related payoffs. As a main example, we focus on European basket options and include information on the prices of other similar…
Prices of tradables can only be expressed relative to each other at any instant of time. This fundamental fact should therefore also hold for contigent claims, i.e. tradable instruments, whose prices depend on the prices of other tradables.…
The Black-Scholes model gives vanilla Europen call option prices as a function of the volatility. We prove Lipschitz stability in the inverse problem of determining the implied volatility, which is a function of the underlying asset, from a…
We obtain an exact necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium asset prices in infinite horizon, discrete-time, arbitrage free environments. Through several applications we show how the condition…
The option pricing formula of Black and Scholes (1973) hinges on the continuous-time self-financing condition, which is a special case of the continuous-time budget equation of Merton (1971). The self-financing condition is believed to…
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…
In this paper we study pricing of American put options on the Black and Scholes market with a stochastic interest rate and finite-time maturity. We prove that the option value is a $C^1$ function of the initial time, interest rate and stock…
We present an approach for pricing European call options in presence of proportional transaction costs, when the stock price follows a general exponential L\'{e}vy process. The model is a generalization of the celebrated work of Davis,…
