3 Introduction Exponential jump-diffusion model We assume that the stock price process S t in a risk-neutral world follows an exponential jump-diffusion model where ds t /S t = (r λζ)dt + σdw t + ηdn t, (1) r : the riskfree interest rate, σ : the volatility, W t : the Wiener process, N t : the Poisson process with intensity λ, η : a random variable of jump size from S t to (η + 1)S t, ζ : the expectation E[η] of the random variable η.

4 Introduction Exponential jump-diffusion model Example (Jump-diffusion model) (1) Merton model ln(η + 1) N(µ J, σj 2 ). (2) (2) Kou model f (x) = pλ + e λ+x 1 x 0 + (1 p)λ e λ x 1 x<0, (3) where f (x) is a density function of ln(η + 1).

5 Introduction PIDE under jump-diffusion models Under exponential jump-diffusion model, the price of a European call option C(t, S) satisfies the PIDE below. C t (t, S) + σ2 S R 2 C C (t, S) + rs S 2 S (t, S) rc(t, S) ] ν(dx) = 0 [ C(t, Se x ) C(t, S) S(e x 1) C (t, S) S on [0, T ) (0, ) with the terminal condition where K is a strike price. C(T, S) = (S K) + for all S > 0,

6 Let Introduction PIDE under jump-diffusion models τ = T t, x = ln(s/s 0 ). By the change of variables, u(τ, x) = C(T τ, S 0 e x ) satisfies u σ2 2 u σ2 (τ, x) = (τ, x) + (r τ 2 x 2 2 λζ) u (τ, x) x (r + λ)u(τ, x) + λ u(τ, z)f (z x)dz (4) on (0, T ] (, ) with the initial condition u(0, x) = (S 0 e x K) + for all x (, ), (5) where ζ = R (ex 1)f (x)dx with the distribution function of jumps f (x) and λ is the intensity of jumps.

Cont and Voltchkova (2005) - An explicit-implicit method. As using an iterative method, d Halluin, Forsyth, and Vetzal (2005) - An implicit method of the Crank-Nicolson type.

9 Numerical method for option pricing Implicit method with three time levels We shall construct a numerical method with finite differences to solve the following initial-valued PIDE where u (τ, x) = Lu(τ, x) on (0, T ] R, (6) τ u(0, x) = (S 0 e x K) +, (7) Lu(τ, x) =Du(τ, x) + Iu(τ, x) (r + λ)u(τ, x), Du(τ, x) = σ2 2 u σ2 (τ, x) + (r 2 x 2 2 λζ) u (τ, x), x Iu(τ, x) =λ u(τ, z)f (z x)dz. R

10 Numerical method for option pricing Implicit method with three time levels At first, we have to restrict the domain R of the space variable to a bounded interval. The asymptotic behavior of the price of a European call option is described by lim u(τ, x) = 0, lim x u(τ, x) = S 0e x Ke rτ. (8) x So, there exists an interval Ω := [ X, X ], X > 0 such that we can divide the integral term into two parts u(τ, z)f (z x)dz = u(τ, z)f (z x)dz+ u(τ, z)f (z x)dz R Ω R\Ω

11 Numerical method for option pricing Implicit method with three time levels Let us define R(τ, x, X ) by R(τ, x, X ) = R\Ω u(τ, z)f (z x)dz. In the case of Merton model R(τ, x, X ) ( = S 0 e x+µ J+ σ 2 J x X + µj + σ 2 2 Φ J σ J where In the case of Kou model Φ(y) = 1 2π y ) Ke rτ Φ e x2 2 dx.

12 Numerical method for option pricing Implicit method with three time levels On the truncated domain [0, T ] [ X, X ], let τ = T /N and x = 2X /M for M, N > 0. And let τ n = n τ for n = 0, 1,..., N and x m = X + m x for m = 0, 1,..., M. Let u n m = u(τ n, x m ) and f m,j = f (x j x m ).
