چکیده

The Black-Scholes equation is a hallmark of mathematical finance, and any study of this growing field would be incomplete without having seen and understood the logic behind this equation. The initial focus of this paper will be to explore the arguments leading to the equation and the financial background necessary to understand the arguments. The problem of estimating the only parameter which is not observable directly in the market, the volatility, is then tackled through two different methods: historical volatility and implied volatility. The goal is then to determine the “best” way to estimate volatility, by comparing the theoretical price the equation predicts with the actual price in the market, based on data from the Chicago Board Options Exchange on six selected stock options.

Barrier options pricing of fractional version of the Black-Scholes ‎model‎

In this paper two different methods are presented to approximate the solution of the fractional Black-Scholes equation for valuation of barrier option. Also, the two schemes need less computational work in comparison with the traditional methods. In this work, we propose a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method and decomposition method that will extend the appli...
