Radial basis function partition of unity methods for pricing vanilla basket options
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mesh-free methods based on radial basis function (RBF) approximation are widely used for solving PDE problems. They are flexible with respect to the problem geometry and highly accurate. A disadvantage of these methods is that the linear system to be solved becomes dense for globally supported RBFs. A remedy is to introduce localisation techniques such as partition of unity (PU). RBF-PU methods allow for significant sparsification of the linear system and lower the computational effort. In this work we apply a global RBF method as well as an RBF-PU method to problems in option pricing. We consider oneand two-dimensional vanilla options. In order to price American options we employ a penalty approach. The RBF-PU method is competitive with already existing methods and the results are promising for extension to higher-dimensional problems.

Radial basis function partition of unity operator splitting method for pricing multi-asset American options
The operator splitting method in combination with finite differences has been shown to be an efficient approach for pricing American options numerically. Here, the operator splitting formulation is extended to the radial basis function partition of unity method. An approach that has previously often been used together with radial basis function methods to deal with the free boundary arising in ...
متن کاملRadial Basis Function Methods for Pricing Multi-Asset Options
The price of an option can under some assumptions be determined by the solution of the Black–Scholes partial differential equation. Often options are issued on more than one asset. In this case it turns out that the option price is governed by the multi-dimensional version of the Black–Scholes equation. Options issued on a large number of underlying assets, such as index options, are of particu...

Options pricing have an important role in risk control and risk management. Pricing discussion requires modelling process, solving methods and implementing the model by real data in a given market. In this paper we show a model for underlying asset based on fractional stochastic models which is a particular type of behavior of stochastic assets changing. In addition a numerical method based on ...
متن کاملStatic-Arbitrage optimal subreplicating strategies for Basket Options
In this paper we investigate the possible values of basket options. Instead of postulating a model and pricing the basket option using that model, we consider the set of all models which are consistent with the observed prices of vanilla options of all strikes. In the case of basket options on two components we find, within this class, the model for which the price of the basket option is small...
