چکیده
Reminder concerning the final: The exam will be Tuesday May 9, at the usual class time. It will be “closed-book” (no books, no lecture notes), however you may bring two sheets of notes (8.5 × 11, both sides, write as small as you like). You are responsible for the material in Sections 1-6 of the lecture notes, and in Homeworks 1-6. See the separate handout for further discussion of what to expect. (The material in these Section 8 notes will not be on the exam.)

PDE for Finance Notes – Stochastic Calculus Review
The material presented here is covered in the books by Neftci (An Introduction to the Mathematics of Financial Derivatives), or Chang (Stochastic Optimization in Continuous Time). Deeper treatments can be found for example in Shreve (Stochastic Calculus for Finance II), Steele (Stochastic Calculus and Financial Applications), and Oksendal (Stochastic Differential Equations: an Introduction with...
متن کاملPde for Finance Notes – Section 7 Notes
Discrete-time dynamic programming. This section achieves two goals at once. One is to demonstrate the utility of discrete-time dynamic programming as a flexible tool for decision-making in the presence of uncertainty. The second is to introduce some financiallyrelevant applications. To achieve these goals Section 7 presents three examples: (1) optimal control of execution costs (following a pap...
متن کاملStochastic flow approach to Dupire's formula
The probabilistic equivalent formulation of Dupire's PDE is the Put-Call duality equality. In local volatility models including exponential Lévy jumps, we give a direct probabilistic proof for this result based on stochastic flows arguments. This approach also enables us to check the probabilistic equivalent formulation of various generalizations of Dupire's PDE recently obtained by Pironneau [...
متن کاملSolving Complex PDE Systems for Pricing American Options with Regime-Switching by Efficient Exponential Time Differencing Schemes
In this paper we study the numerical solutions of a class of complex PDE systems with free boundary conditions. This problem arises naturally in pricing American options with regimeswitching, which adds significant complexity in the PDE systems due to regime coupling. Developing efficient numerical schemes will have important applications in computational finance. We propose a new method to sol...
متن کاملNon uniform grids for PDE in finance∗
In this paper, the authors consider non uniform grids to solve PDE in finance. The origin of the problem comes of the fact that computing value-at-risk every day is time-consuming when several options are priced with nite di erence methods. One of solution is then to use smaller discretization points. In this case, non uniform grids can then be used to solve PDE with better accuracy than unifor...
