This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early exercise opportunity of an American option makes it challenging to price and an array of approaches have been proposed in the vast literature on this topic. In The Numerical Solution of the American Option Pricing Problem, Carl Chiarella, Boda Kang and Gunter Meyer focus on two numerical approaches that have proved useful for finding all prices, hedge ratios and early exercise boundaries of an American option. One is a finite difference approach which is based on the numerical solution of the partial differential equations with the free boundary problem arising in American option pricing, including the method of lines, the component wise splitting and the finite difference with PSOR. The other approach is the integral transform approach which includes Fourier or Fourier Cosine transforms. Written in a concise and systematic manner, Chiarella, Kang and Meyer explain and demonstrate the advantages and limitations of each of them based on their and their co-workers'' experiences with these approaches over the years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book we discuss various numerical evaluation problems for American options. Base on Black-Scholes framework, we establish partial differential complementarity problems (PDCP) for American options. Then we introduced various finite difference schemes to discretize the PDCP to obtain a system of Linear Complementarity Problems. The solution analysis and numerical algorithms are discussed. Next we study the pricing problem for American options whose payoff function are determined by two or more underlying assets. We formulate the two-asset American option pricing problem as two-dimensional PDCP. We first perform some state variable transformation and then introduce the ADI scheme and LOD scheme. After this, we discuss American option on an underlying asset with stochastic volatility. At last we consider the implied volatility problem for American options. We formulate a mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC). Then we applied a penalty approach to solve the MPCC by utilizing the existing NLP tools. The parameter estimation problem for a mean-reverting stochastic volatility process is also considered.

This book was released on 2005-07-18 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the unique perspective of partial differential equations (PDE), this self-contained book presents a systematic, advanced introduction to the Black-Scholes-Merton's option pricing theory.A unified approach is used to model various types of option pricing as PDE problems, to derive pricing formulas as their solutions, and to design efficient algorithms from the numerical calculation of PDEs. In particular, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of American option pricing is treated based on free boundary problems, and the implied volatility as an inverse problem is solved in the optimal control framework of parabolic equations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on recent developments in the field, American-Style Derivatives provides an extensive treatment of option pricing with emphasis on the valuation of American options on dividend-paying assets. This book reviews valuation principles for European contingent claims and extends the analysis to American contingent claims. It presents basic valuation principles for American options including barrier, capped, and multi-asset options. It also reviews numerical methods for option pricing and compares their relative performance. Ideal for students and researchers in quantitative finance, this material is accessible to those with a background in stochastic processes or derivative securities.

Download or read book American Type Options written by Dmitrii S. Silvestrov and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book gives a systematical presentation of stochastic approximation methods for models of American-type options with general pay-off functions for discrete time Markov price processes. Advanced methods combining backward recurrence algorithms for computing of option rewards and general results on convergence of stochastic space skeleton and tree approximations for option rewards are applied to a variety of models of multivariate modulated Markov price processes. The principal novelty of presented results is based on consideration of multivariate modulated Markov price processes and general pay-off functions, which can depend not only on price but also an additional stochastic modulating index component, and use of minimal conditions of smoothness for transition probabilities and pay-off functions, compactness conditions for log-price processes and rate of growth conditions for pay-off functions. The book also contains an extended bibliography of works in the area. This book is the first volume of the comprehensive two volumes monograph. The second volume will present results on structural studies of optimal stopping domains, Monte Carlo based approximation reward algorithms, and convergence of American-type options for autoregressive and continuous time models, as well as results of the corresponding experimental studies.
Download or read book American Option Pricing Under Stochastic Volatility written by Suchandan Guha and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: We developed two new numerical techniques to price American options when the underlying follows a bivariate process. The first technique exploits the semi-martingale representation of an American option price together with a coarse approximation of its early exercise surface that is based on an efficient implementation of the least-squares Monte Carlo method. The second technique exploits recent results in the efficient pricing of American options under constant volatility. Extensive numerical evaluations show these methods yield very accurate prices in a computationally efficient manner with the latter significantly faster than the former. However, the flexibility of the first method allows for its extension to a much larger class of optimal stopping problems than addressed in this paper.

Download or read book The Evaluation of American Option Prices Under Stochastic Volatility and Jump Diffusion Dynamics Using the Method of Lines written by Carl Chiarella and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers the problem of numerically evaluating American option prices when the dynamics of the underlying are driven by both stochastic volatility following the square root process of Heston (1993), and by a Poisson jump process of the type originally introduced by Merton (1976). We develop a method of lines algorithm to evaluate the price as well as the delta and gamma of the option, thereby extending the method developed by Meyer (1998) for the case of jump-diffusion dynamics. The accuracy of the method is tested against two numerical methods that directly solve the integro-partial differential pricing equation. The first is an extension to the jump-diffusion situation of the componentwise splitting method of Ikonen amp; Toivanen (2007). The second method is a Crank-Nicolson scheme that is solved using projected successive over relaxation which is taken as the benchmark. The relative efficiency of these methods for computing the American call option price, delta, gamma and free boundary is analysed. If one seeks an algorithm that gives not only the price but also the delta and gamma to the same level of accuracy for a given computational effort then the method of lines seems to perform best amongst the methods considered.

This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derivatives in financial market play an important and useful role in hedging and managing risk. Derivative securities, when used correctly, can help investors increase their expected returns and minimize their exposure to risk. Options offer leverage and insurance for risk-averse investors. For the risk-alike investors, they can be ways of speculation. However, the values of option depend on a number of different variables in addition to the underlying asset, which makes them hard to value. This book explored some commonly used pricing models and compared their accuracy for the valuation. In the last section, it introduced a new numerical scheme --- the Radial Basis Function Method (RBF), particularly Hardy's multiquadric (MQ) as a spatial approximation for the numerical solution of the option value and its derivatives.
