Nonlocal Diffusions and the Quantum Black-Scholes Equation: Modelling the Market Fear Factor

The Quantum Black-scholes Equation

Motivated by the work of Segal and Segal in [16] on the Black-Scholes pricing formula in the quantum context, we study a quantum extension of the BlackScholes equation within the context of Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic calculus,. Our model includes stock markets described by quantum Brownian motion and Poisson process. 1. The Merton-Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model An option is a t...

The Black-Scholes Equation

The most important application of the Itô calculus, derived from the Itô lemma, in financial mathematics is the pricing of options. The most famous result in this area is the Black-Scholes formulae for pricing European vanilla call and put options. As a consequence of the formulae, both in theoretical and practical applications, Robert Merton and Myron Scholes were awarded the Nobel Prize for E...

The use of iterative methods for solving Black-Scholes equation

Revisiting Black-Scholes Equation

In common finance literature, Black-Scholes partial differential equation of option pricing is usually derived with no-arbitrage principle. Considering an asset market, Merton applied the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman techniques of his continuous-time consumption-portfolio problem, deriving general equilibrium relationships among the securities in the asset market. In special case where the interest ...

A new approach to using the cubic B-spline functions to solve the Black-Scholes equation

Nowadays, options are common financial derivatives. For this reason, by increase of applications for these financial derivatives, the problem of options pricing is one of the most important economic issues. With the development of stochastic models, the need for randomly computational methods caused the generation of a new field called financial engineering. In the financial engineering the pre...
