چکیده

We investigate finite element discretizations using functions that are discontinuous in time and continuous in space for European options with local volatility Black-Scholes models. We present an a posteriori error estimate where a user-specified functional of the error is controlled by the inner product of the finite element residual with the solution of a dual problem that involves the density of the target functional as prescribed data. Examples of error functionals are discussed in the context of either option pricing or volatility calibration from market data. The a posteriori error estimator is then localized onto the space-time cells of the computational mesh and implemented in the framework of an adaptive mesh refinement/derefinement algorithm which provides some form of optimal compromise between accuracy requirements and computational costs. Numerical examples illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methodology.

Mathematical analysis and pricing of the European continuous installment call option

In this paper we consider the European continuous installment call option. Then  its linear complementarity formulation is given. Writing the resulted problem in variational form, we prove the existence and uniqueness of its weak solution. Finally finite element method is applied to price the European continuous installment call option.

A Finite-element Approach for Pricing Swing Options under Stochastic Volatility

Option pricing plays an important role in financial,energy, and commodity markets. The Black-Scholes model is an indispensable framework for the option pricing. This thesis studies the pricing of a swing option under stochastic volatility. A swing option is an American-style contract with multiple exercise rights. As such, it is an optimal multiplestopping time problem. In this dissertation, we...

Pricing Barrier Options under Local Volatility

We study pricing under the local volatility. Our research is mainly intended for pedagogical purposes. In the first part of our work we study the local volatility modeling. We derive the local volatility formula in terms of the European call prices and in terms of the market implied volatilities. We propose and calibrate to the DAX option data a functional form for the implied volatility which ...
