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