Abstract:

In this article, we propose a numerical algorithm for computing price of discrete single and double barrier option under the emph{Black-Scholes} model. In virtue of some general transformations, the partial differential equations of option pricing in different monitoring dates are converted into simple diffusion equations. The present method is fast compared to alternative numerical methods presented in previous papers.

European option pricing of fractional Black-Scholes model with new Lagrange multipliers

In this paper, a new identification of the Lagrange multipliers by means of the Sumudu transform, is employed to  btain a quick and accurate solution to the fractional Black-Scholes equation with the initial condition for a European option pricing problem. Undoubtedly this model is the most well known model for pricing financial derivatives. The fractional derivatives is described in Caputo sen...

A Dynamic Hybrid Option Pricing Model by Genetic Algorithm and Black - Scholes Model

Unlike this study focused extensively on trading behavior of option market, those researches were just taken their attention to model-driven option pricing. For example, Black-Scholes (B-S) model is one of the most famous option pricing models. However, the arguments of B-S model are previously mentioned by some pricing models reviewing. This paper following suggests the importance of the dynam...

Binomial Option Pricing and Black-scholes

This paper aims to investigate the assumptions under which the binomial option pricing model converges to the Black-Scholes formula. The results are not original; the paper mostly follows the outline of Cox, Ross, and Rubenstein[1]. However, the convergence is treated in greater detail than I have found elsewhere in the literature. This exercise clarifies the assumptions behind the binomial mod...

Black Scholes Option Pricing with Stochastic Returns on Hedge Portfolio

The Black Scholes model of option pricing constitutes the cornerstone of contemporary valuation theory. However, the model presupposes the existence of several unrealistic and rigid assumptions including, in particular, the constancy of the return on the “hedge portfolio”. There, now, subsists ample justification to the effect that this is not the case. Consequently, several generalisations of ...

Intraday Stock Return Distribution for Black-scholes Option Pricing

The availability of intraday stock/index return in the web facilitates the improvement of return volatility estimation over the traditional method that is based on inter-day return data. Truncated Levy process distribution is used to extract the intraday return distribution parameters. The calibration to the volatility for Black-Scholes option pricing is studied using the data from Levy-Gaussia...
