On the discretization in time of parabolic stochastic partial differential equations

Jacques Printems (2001)

Similarity:

We first generalize, in an abstract framework, results on the order of convergence of a semi-discretization in time by an implicit Euler scheme of a stochastic parabolic equation. In this part, all the coefficients are globally Lipchitz. The case when the nonlinearity is only locally Lipchitz is then treated. For the sake of simplicity, we restrict our attention to the Burgers equation. We are not able in this case to compute a pathwise order of the approximation, we introduce the weaker...

Fast deterministic pricing of options on Lévy driven assets

Similarity:

Arbitrage-free prices u of European contracts on risky assets whose log-returns are modelled by Lévy processes satisfy a parabolic partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) t u + 𝒜 [ u ] = 0 . This PIDE is localized to bounded domains and the error due to this localization is estimated. The localized PIDE is discretized by the θ -scheme in time and a wavelet Galerkin method with N degrees of freedom in log-price space. The dense matrix for 𝒜 can be replaced by a sparse matrix in the wavelet basis,...

Variational Analysis for the Black and Scholes Equation with Stochastic Volatility

Yves Achdou, Nicoletta Tchou (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We propose a variational analysis for a Black and Scholes equation with stochastic volatility. This equation gives the price of a European option as a function of the time, of the price of the underlying asset and of the volatility when the volatility is a function of a mean reverting Orstein-Uhlenbeck process, possibly correlated with the underlying asset. The variational analysis involves weighted Sobolev spaces. It enables to prove qualitative properties of the solution, namely a...
