Instalment Options: A Closed-Form Solution and the Limiting Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Foreign Exchange Markets Compound options (options on options) are traded frequently. Instalment options generalize the concept of Compound options as they allow the holder to prolong a Vanilla Call or Put option by paying instalments of a discrete payment plan. We derive a closed-form solution to the value of such an option in the Black-Scholes model and prove that the limiting case of an Instalment option with a continuous payment plan is equivalent to a portfolio consisting of a European Vanilla option and an American Put on this Vanilla option with a time-dependent strike.

On the Closed-Form Solution of a Nonlinear Difference Equation and Another Proof to Sroysang’s Conjecture
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we derive theoretically, using appropriate transformation on x(n), the closed-form solution of the nonlinear difference equation x(n+1) = 1/(±1 + x(n)), n ∈ N_0. The form of solution of this equation, however, was first obtained in [10] but through induction principle. Then, with the solution of the above equation at hand, we prove a case ...
متن کاملComparison of Selected Advanced Numerical Methods for Greeks Calculation of Vanilla Options
Option valuation has been a challenging issue of financial engineering and optimization for a long time. The increasing complexity of market conditions requires utilization of advanced models that, commonly, do not lead to closed-form solutions. Development of novel numerical procedures, which prove to be efficient within various option valuation problems, is therefore worthwhile. Notwithstan...
متن کاملClosed-form analytical solution procedure for element design in D regions
This paper presents a novel procedure for solving the equations system of the rotating crack model used for reinforced concrete. It is implemented in the programme NonOPt where it is used to optimise the reinforcement design of D regions. The procedure is based on solving explicit closed-form relations without the need to incrementally increase the applied loads. The solution procedure is based...
متن کاملSolvability of infinite system of nonlinear singular integral equations in the C(Itimes I, c) space and modified semi-analytic method to find a closed-form of solution
In this article, we discuss about solvability of infinite systems of singular integral equations with two variables in the Banach sequence space $C(I times I, c)$ by applying measure of noncompactness and Meir-Keeler condensing operators. By presenting an example, we have illustrated our results. For validity of the results we introduce a modified semi-analytic method in the case of tw...
متن کاملFree Vibration Analysis of a Sloping-frame: Closed-form Solution versus Finite Element Solution and Modification of the Characteristic Matrices (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This article deals with the free vibration analysis and determination of the seismic parameters of a sloping-frame which consists of three members; a horizontal, a vertical, and an inclined member. The both ends of the frame are clamped, and the members are rigidly connected at joint points. The individual members of the frame are assumed to be governed by the transverse vibration theory of an ...
