Solution of option pricing equations using orthogonal polynomial expansion

Falko Baustian, Kateřina Filipová, Jan Pospíšil (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

We study both analytic and numerical solutions of option pricing equations using systems of orthogonal polynomials. Using a Galerkin-based method, we solve the parabolic partial differential equation for the Black-Scholes model using Hermite polynomials and for the Heston model using Hermite and Laguerre polynomials. We compare the obtained solutions to existing semi-closed pricing formulas. Special attention is paid to the solution of the Heston model at the boundary with vanishing volatility.
