A parallel time stepping approach using meshfree approximations for pricing options with non-smooth payoffs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider a meshfree radial basis function approach for the valuation of pricing options with non-smooth payoffs. By taking advantage of parallel architecture, a strongly stable and highly accurate time stepping method is developed with computational complexity comparable to the implicit Euler method implemented concurrently on each processor. This, in collusion with the radial basis function approach, provides an efficient and reliable valuation of exotic options, such as American digital options.

Pricing European and American options by radial basis point interpolation
We propose the use of the meshfree radial basis point interpolation (RBPI) to solve the Black–Scholes model for European and American options. The RBPI meshfree method offers several advantages over the more conventional radial basis function approximation, nevertheless it has never been applied to option pricing, at least to the very best of our knowledge. In this paper the RBPI is combined wi...
متن کاملNumerical pricing of American options under two stochastic factor models with jumps using a meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method
The most recent update of financial option models is American options under stochastic volatility models with jumps in returns (SVJ) and stochastic volatility models with jumps in returns and volatility (SVCJ). To evaluate these options, mesh-based methods are applied in a number of papers but it is well-known that these methods depend strongly on the mesh properties which is the major disadvan...
متن کاملFrom Black-Scholes to Online Learning: Dynamic Hedging under Adversarial Environments
We consider a non-stochastic online learning approach to price financial options by modelingthe market dynamic as a repeated game between the nature (adversary) and the investor. Wedemonstrate that such framework yields analogous structure as the Black-Scholes model, thewidely popular option pricing model in stochastic finance, for both European and Americanoptions with conv...
متن کاملMeshfree Methods in Option Pricing Meshfree Methods in Option Pricing
A meshfree approximation scheme based on the radial basis function methods is presented for the numerical solution of the options pricing model. This thesis deals with the valuation of the European, Barrier, Asian, American options of a single asset and American options of multi assets. The option prices are modeled by the Black-Scholes equation. The θ-method is used to discretize the equation ...

Han, Chuan-Hsiang. Singular Perturbations on Non-Smooth Boundary Problems in Finance. (Under the direction of Jean-Pierre Fouque.) In this work we apply asymptotic analysis on compound options, American options, Asian options, and variance (or volatility) contracts in the context of stochastic volatility models. Singular perturbation techniques are primarily used. A singular-regular perturbatio...
