Finite Difference Schemes for a Nonlinear Black-scholes Model with Transaction Cost and Volatility Risk
نویسنده
چکیده
Several nonlinear Black-Scholes models have been proposed to take transaction cost, large investor performance and illiquid markets into account. One of the most comprehensive models introduced by Barles and Soner in [4] considers transaction cost in the hedging strategy and risk from an illiquid market. In this paper, we compare several finite difference methods for the solution of this model with respect to precision and order of convergence within a computationally feasible domain allowing at most 200 space steps and 10000 time steps. We conclude that standard explicit Euler comes out as the preferred explicit method and standard Crank Nicolson with Rannacher time stepping as the preferred implicit method.

Properties of utility function for Barles and Soner model
The nonlinear Black-Scholes equation has been increasingly attracting interest over the last two decades, because it provides more accurate values by considering transaction costs as a viable assumption. In this paper we review the fully nonlinear Black-Scholes equation with an adjusted volatility which is a function of the second derivative of the price and then we prove two new theorems in th...
متن کاملOn the numerical solution of nonlinear Black-Scholes equations
Nonlinear Black–Scholes equations have been increasingly attracting interest over the last two decades, since they provide more accurate values by taking into account more realistic assumptions, such as transaction costs, risks from an unprotected portfolio, large investor’s preferences or illiquid markets, which may have an impact on the stock price, the volatility, the drift and the option pr...
متن کاملA family of positive nonstandard numerical methods with application to Black-Scholes equation
Nonstandard finite difference schemes for the Black-Scholes partial differential equation preserving the positivity property are proposed. Computationally simple schemes are derived by using a nonlocal approximation in the reaction term of the Black-Scholes equation. Unlike the standard methods, the solutions of new proposed schemes are positive and free of the spurious oscillations.
متن کاملOption pricing with transaction costs and a nonlinear Black-Scholes equation
In a market with transaction costs, generally, there is no nontrivial portfolio that dominates a contingent claim. Therefore, in such a market, preferences have to be introduced in order to evaluate the prices of options. The main goal of this article is to quantify this dependence on preferences in the specific example of a European call option. This is achieved by using the utility function a...
متن کاملA new approach to using the cubic B-spline functions to solve the Black-Scholes equation
Nowadays, options are common financial derivatives. For this reason, by increase of applications for these financial derivatives, the problem of options pricing is one of the most important economic issues. With the development of stochastic models, the need for randomly computational methods caused the generation of a new field called financial engineering. In the financial engineering the pre...
