Abstract
We consider the Heston model as an example of a parameterized parabolic partial differential equation. A space-time variational formulation is derived that allows for parameters in the coefficients (for calibration) and enables us to choose the initial condition (for option pricing) as a parameter function. A corresponding discretization in space and time for the initial condition are introduced. Finally, we present a novel reduced basis method that is able to use the initial condition of the parabolic partial differential equation as a parameter (function). The corresponding numerical results are shown.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational Finance is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the area of financial mathematics. The journal is focused on the measurement, management and analysis of financial risk, and provides detailed insight into numerical and computational techniques in the pricing, hedging and risk management of financial instruments. The journal welcomes papers dealing with innovative computational techniques in the following areas: Numerical solutions of pricing equations: finite differences, finite elements, and spectral techniques in one and multiple dimensions. Simulation approaches in pricing and risk management: advances in Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methodologies; new strategies for market factors simulation. Optimization techniques in hedging and risk management. Fundamental numerical analysis relevant to finance: effect of boundary treatments on accuracy; new discretization of time-series analysis. Developments in free-boundary problems in finance: alternative ways and numerical implications in American option pricing.
