The numerical treatment of pricing early exercise options under L'evy processes
[ Abstract ]
In this presentation we will discuss the pricing of American and Bermudan options under L'evy process dynamics.
Two different approaches will be discussed: First of all, modelling with differential operators gives rise to the numerical solution of a partial-integro differential equation for obtaining European option prices. For American prices a linear complementarity problem with the partial integro-differential operator needs to be solved. We outline the difficulties and possible solutions in this context.
At the same time we would also like to present a different pricing approach based on numerical integration and the fast Fourier Transform. Both approaches are compared in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
