Numerical aspects of quadratic functional quantization: pricing Asian options

چکیده
We investigate in this paper some numerical aspects of quadratic functional quantization of Gaussian processes, especially, the Brownian motion (and the Brownian bridge). We illustrate the numerical efficiency of functional quantization on the Asian option pricing in a Black & Scholes model.

Functional quantization for pricing derivatives
We investigate in this paper the numerical performances of quadratic functional quantization and their applications to Finance. We emphasize the rôle played by the so-called product quantizers and the Karhunen-Loève expansion of Gaussian processes. Numerical experiments are carried out on two classical pricing problems: Asian options in a Black-Scholes model and vanilla options in a stochastic ...
متن کاملPricing of barrier options by marginal functional quantization
This paper is devoted to the pricing of Barrier options by optimal quadratic quantization method. From a known useful representation of the premium of barrier options one deduces an algorithm similar to one used to estimate nonlinear filter using quadratic optimal functional quantization. Some numerical tests are fulfilled in the Black-Scholes model and in a local volatility model and a compari...
متن کاملFunctional quantization for numerics with an application to option pricing
We investigate in this paper the numerical performances of quadratic functional quantization with some applications to Finance. We emphasize the rôle played by the so-called product quantizers and the Karhunen-Loève expansion of Gaussian processes, in particular the Brownian motion. We show how to build some efficient functional quantizers for Brownian diffusions. We propose a quadrature formul...
متن کاملVariance analysis of control variate technique and applications in Asian option pricing
This paper presents an analytical view of variance reduction by control variate technique for pricing arithmetic Asian options as a financial derivatives. In this paper, the effect of correlation between two random variables is shown. We propose an efficient method for choose suitable control in pricing arithmetic Asian options based on the control variates (CV). The numerical experiment shows ...
متن کاملA convergent quadratic-time lattice algorithm for pricing European-style Asian options
Asian options are strongly path-dependent derivatives. Although efficient numerical methods and approximate closedform formulas are available, most lack convergence guarantees. Asian options can also be priced on the lattice. All efficient lattice algorithms keep only a polynomial number of states and use interpolation to compensate for the less than full representation of the states. Let the t...
