Numerical Valuation of American Basket Options via Partial Differential Complementarity Problems

Valuation of American partial barrier options

This paper concerns barrier options of American type where the underlying asset price is monitored for barrier hits during a part of the option’s lifetime. Analytic valuation formulas of the American partial barrier options are provided as the finite sum of bivariate normal distribution functions. This approximation method is based on barrier options along with constant early exercise policies....

Numerical Valuation of American Options Under the CGMY Process

American put options written on an underlying stock following a Carr-Madan-Geman-Yor (CGMY) process are considered. It is known that American option prices satisfy a Partial Integro-Differential Equation (PIDE) on a moving domain. These equations are reformulated as a Linear Complementarity Problem, and solved iteratively by an implicit-explicit type of iteration based on a convenient splitting...

Fast Numerical Valuation of American, Exotic and Complex Options

The purpose of this paper is to present evidence in support of the hypothesis that fast, accurate and parametrically robust numerical valuation of a wide range of derivative securities can be achieved by use of direct numerical methods in the solution of the associated PDE problems. Speci cally, linear programming methods for American vanilla and exotic options, and explicit methods for a three...

Approximate Basket Options Valuation for a Jump-Diffusion Model

In this paper we discuss the approximate basket options valuation for a jump-diffusion model. The underlying asset prices follow some correlated diffusion processes with idiosyncratic and systematic jumps. We suggest a new approximate pricing formula which is the weighted sum of Roger and Shi’s lower bound and the conditional second moment adjustments. We show the approximate value is always wi...
