Consistent stable difference schemes for nonlinear Black-Scholes equations modelling option pricing with transaction costs

Rafael Company, Lucas Jódar, José-Ramón Pintos (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

This paper deals with the numerical solution of nonlinear Black-Scholes equation modeling European vanilla call option pricing under transaction costs. Using an explicit finite difference scheme consistent with the partial differential equation valuation problem, a sufficient condition for the stability of the solution is given in terms of the stepsize discretization variables and the parameter measuring the transaction costs. This stability condition is linked to some properties of...

Convergence of a high-order compact finite difference scheme for a nonlinear Black–Scholes equation

Bertram Düring, Michel Fournié, Ansgar Jüngel (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

A high-order compact finite difference scheme for a fully nonlinear parabolic differential equation is analyzed. The equation arises in the modeling of option prices in financial markets with transaction costs. It is shown that the finite difference solution converges locally uniformly to the unique viscosity solution of the continuous equation. The proof is based on a careful study of the discretization matrices and on an abstract convergence result due to Barles and Souganides. ...

Calibration and simulation of Heston model

Milan Mrázek, Jan Pospíšil (2017)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We calibrate Heston stochastic volatility model to real market data using several optimization techniques. We compare both global and local optimizers for different weights showing remarkable differences even for data (DAX options) from two consecutive days. We provide a novel calibration procedure that incorporates the usage of approximation formula and outperforms significantly other existing calibration methods. We test and compare several simulation schemes using the parameters obtained...

Low Volatility Options and Numerical Diffusion of Finite Difference Schemes

Milev, Mariyan, Tagliani, Aldo (2010)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65M06, 65M12. In this paper we explore the numerical diffusion introduced by two nonstandard finite difference schemes applied to the Black-Scholes partial differential equation for pricing discontinuous payoff and low volatility options. Discontinuities in the initial conditions require applying nonstandard non-oscillating finite difference schemes such as the exponentially fitted finite difference schemes suggested by D. Duffy and...

DG method for the numerical pricing of two-asset European-style Asian options with fixed strike

Jiří Hozman, Tomáš Tichý (2017)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The evaluation of option premium is a very delicate issue arising from the assumptions made under a financial market model, and pricing of a wide range of options is generally feasible only when numerical methods are involved. This paper is based on our recent research on numerical pricing of path-dependent multi-asset options and extends these results also to the case of Asian options with fixed strike. First, we recall the three-dimensional backward parabolic PDE describing the evolution...

DG method for numerical pricing of multi-asset Asian options—the case of options with floating strike

Jiří Hozman, Tomáš Tichý (2017)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Option pricing models are an important part of financial markets worldwide. The PDE formulation of these models leads to analytical solutions only under very strong simplifications. For more general models the option price needs to be evaluated by numerical techniques. First, based on an ideal pure diffusion process for two risky asset prices with an additional path-dependent variable for continuous arithmetic average, we present a general form of PDE for pricing of Asian option contracts...
