Spectral Method for the Black-Scholes Model of American Options Valuation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we devote ourselves to the research of numerical methods for American option pricing problems under the Black-Scholes model. The optimal exercise boundary which satisfies a nonlinear Volterra integral equation is resolved by a high-order collocationmethod based on gradedmeshes. For the other spatial domain boundary, an artificial boundary condition is applied to the pricing problem for the effective truncation of the semi-infinite domain. Then, the front-fixing and stretching transformations are employed to change the truncated problem in an irregular domain into a one-dimensional parabolic problem in [−1,1]. The Chebyshev spectral method coupledwith fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is proposed for the resulting parabolic problem related to the options. The stability of the semi-discrete numerical method is established for the parabolic problem transformed from the original model. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed methods and compare them with some existing methods. AMS subject classifications: 35A35, 90A09, 65K10, 65M12, 65M60

Barrier options pricing of fractional version of the Black-Scholes model
In this paper two different methods are presented to approximate the solution of the fractional Black-Scholes equation for valuation of barrier option. Also, the two schemes need less computational work in comparison with the traditional methods. In this work, we propose a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method and decomposition method that will extend the appli...
متن کاملModifying the Black-Scholes model to valuate preemption right
In this paper, we try and valuate preemption rights by modifying the Black-Scholes model, which is widely used to valuate options and other derivatives. Here we first present the basics of the Black-Scholes model and then we discus modification of the model to be fit for preemption right valuation. At the end, we valuate four of the preemptive rights using the proposed model
متن کاملValuation of installment option by penalty method
In this paper, installment options on the underlying asset which evolves according to Black-Scholes model and pays constant dividend to its owner will be considered. Applying arbitrage pricing theory, the non-homogeneous parabolic partial differential equation governing the value of installment option is derived. Then, penalty method is used to value the European continuous installment call opt...

متن کاملEuropean and American put valuation via a high-order semi-discretization scheme
Put options are commonly used in the stock market to protect against the decline of the price of a stock below a specified price. On the other hand, finite difference approach is a well-known and well-resulted numerical scheme for financial differential equations. As such in this work, a new spatial discretization based on finite difference semi-discretization procedure with high order of accur...
