in this paper, installment options on the underlying assetwhich evolves according to black-scholes model and pays constant dividendto its owner will be considered. applying arbitrage pricing theory,the non-homogeneous parabolic partial differential equation governingthe value of installment option is derived. then, penalty method is usedto value the european continuous installment call option.

We consider an economic model with a deterministic money market account and a finite set of basic economic risks. The real-world prices of the risks are represented by continuous time stochastic processes satisfying a stochastic differential equation of diffusion type. For the simple class of log-normally distributed instantaneous rates of return, we construct an explicit state-price deflator. ...

This paper addresses a finite difference approximation for an infinite dimensional Black-Scholes equation obtained in Chang and Youree [5]. The equation arises from a consideration of an European option pricing problem in a market in which stock prices and the riskless asset prices have hereditary structures. Under a general condition on the payoff function of the option, it is shown that the p...

The payoffs of the barrier options depend on the time path of the underlying price as opposed to just the price at expiry. It implies that both the boundary conditions and the initial condition are imposed on the Black-Scholes partial differential equation. Therefore, the valuation of the barrier options is a boundary value problem. Since the Black-Scholes equation can be converted into a homog...

In this paper, the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is applied for solving a generalized Black-Scholes equation in financial problems. This equation is a PDE governing the price evolution of a European call or a European put under the Black-Scholes model. The θ-weighted method and MLPG are used for discretizing the governing equation in time variable and option pricing, respectively...

The aim of this paper is to present a stochastic model that accounts for the effects of a long-memory in volatility on option pricing. The starting point is the stochastic Black-Scholes equation involving volatility with long-range dependence. We consider the option price as a sum of classical Black-Scholes price and random deviation describing the risk from the random volatility. By using the ...

We study properties of solutions to fully nonlinear versions of the standard Black– Scholes partial differential equation. These equations have been introduced in financial mathematics in order to deal with illiquid markets or with stochastic volatility. We show that typical nonlinear Black–Scholes equations can be viewed as dynamic programming equation of an associated control problem. We esta...

In this paper, Laplace homotopy perturbation method, which is combined form of the Laplace transform and the homotopy perturbation method, is employed to obtain a quick and accurate solution to the fractional Black Scholes equation with boundary condition for a European option pricing problem. The Black-Scholes formula is used as a model for valuing European or American call and put options on ...
