A Componentwise Splitting Method for Pricing American Options under the Bates Model
نویسنده
چکیده
A linear complementarity problem (LCP) is formulated for the price of American options under the Bates model which combines the Heston stochastic volatility model and the Merton jump-diffusion model. A finite difference discretization is described for the partial derivatives and a simple quadrature is used for the integral term due to jumps. A componentwise splitting method is generalized for the Bates model. It is leads to solution of sequence of one-dimensional LCPs which can be solved very efficiently using the Brennan and Schwartz algorithm. The numerical experiments demonstrate the componentwise splitting method to be essentially as accurate as the PSOR method, but order of magnitude faster. Furthermore, pricing under the Bates model is less than twice more expensive computationally than under the Heston model in the experiments.

Componentwise Splitting Methods for Pricing American Options Under Stochastic Volatility
Efficient numerical methods for pricing American options using Heston’s stochastic volatility model is proposed. Based on this model the price of a European option can be obtained by solving a two-dimensional parabolic partial differential equation. For an American option the early exercise possibility leads to a lower bound for the price of the option. This price can be computed by solving a l...

متن کاملIterative Methods for Pricing American Options under the Bates Model
We consider the numerical pricing of American options under the Bates model which adds log-normally distributed jumps for the asset value to the Heston stochastic volatility model. A linear complementarity problem (LCP) is formulated where partial derivatives are discretized using finite differences and the integral resulting from the jumps is evaluated using simple quadrature. A rapidly conver...
