Bounds on the value of barrier options with curved boundaries
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider the problem of pricing European options which contain a knock-out clause involving one or two curved boundaries. Using a change of measure and Jensen’s inequality we derive upper and lower bounds in the form of double integrals, and demonstrate their accuracy with relevant numerical examples.

Valuing Double Barrier Options with Time-Dependent Parameters
Based upon the Fourier series expansion, we propose a simple and easy-to-use approach for computing accurate estimates of Black-Scholes double barrier option prices with time-dependent parameters. This new approach is also able to provide tight upper and lower bounds of the exact barrier option prices. Furthermore, this approach can be straightforwardly extended to the valuation of standard Eur...
متن کاملA Simplified Curved Boundary Condition in Stationary/Moving Boundaries for the Lattice Boltzmann Method
Lattice Boltzmann method is one of computational fluid dynamic subdivisions. Despite complicated mathematics involved in its background, end simple relations dominate on it; so in comparison to the conventional computational fluid dynamic methods, simpler computer programs are needed. Due to its characteristics for parallel programming, this method is considered efficient for the simulation of ...
متن کاملPricing Chained Options with Curved Barriers
This paper studies barrier options which are chained together, each with payoff contingent on curved barriers. When the underlying asset price hits a primary curved barrier, a secondary barrier option is given to a primary barrier option holder. Then if the asset price hits another curved barrier, a third barrier option is given, and so on. We provide explicit price formulas for these options w...
متن کاملDigital barrier option contract with exponential random time
Barrier options are a widely used class of path-dependent derivative securities. These options either cease to exist or come into existence when some pre-specified asset price barrier is hit during the option’s life. Merton (1973) has derived a down-and-out call price by solving the corresponding partial differential equation with some boundary conditions. Reiner & Rubinstein (1991) published c...
متن کاملDouble Barrier Hitting Time Distribution of a Mean-reverting Lognormal Process and Its Application to Pricing Exotic Options
In this paper we propose a simple and easy-to-use method for computing accurate estimate (in closed form) of the double barrier hitting time distribution of a mean-reverting lognormal process, and discuss its application to pricing exotic options whose payoffs are contingent upon barrier hitting times. This new approach is also able to provide tight upper and lower bounds (in closed form) of th...
