2 Goal: Unified methodology for pricing & hedging for all market models and contracts X = log S R d, strong Markov process. Find arbitrage-free price u of contract on X, Solve generalized BS-equation, u(t, x) = E[g(X T ) X t = x]. u t + Au = 0, u t=t = g, where A is the infinitesimal generator of X. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 2

3 Numerical pricing: MCM, FFT, FDM, FEM FEM Find a solution u(t, ) V such that u, v + Au, v = 0 for all v V Domain(E). t }{{} E(u,v) Finite dimensional subspace 1 V L V Matrix Problem: MU L (t) + AU L (t) = 0, t (0, T ), U L (0) = U 0. This setting applies to any underlying modelled by strong Markov process. 1 L indicates number of refinement steps or Level. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 3

4 Quadratic Hedging and Greeks Calculate derivative price u. Solve same PIDE for hedging 2 error h or sensitivity s = η u to a model parameter η, e.g. vega ( σ u) ) Γ(u, id)2 h(t, x) Ah(t, x) = (Γ(u, u) (t, x). t Γ(id, id) t s(t, x) As(t, x) = ηa[u](t, x). Remaining Greeks, e.g. delta, theta, gamma,... can be obtained directly via postprocessing 2 cf. Föllmer, Sondermann, 1986; Bouleau, Lamberton, 1989; Kallsen, Vesenmayer, 2007; Γ = carré-du-champ operator. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 4

5 Dirichlet form of multivariate Lévy process X determined by characteristic triplet (γ, Q, ν). Then E(u, v) = ψ X (ξ)û(ξ) v(ξ)dξ = E γ (u, v) + E Q (u, v) + E ν (u, v), R d with E γ (u, v) = γ u, v, E Q (u, v) = 1 Q u, v, 2 ( ) E ν (u, v) = u(x + z) u(x) z u(x)1 z 1 v(x)ν(dz)dx. R d R d Semigroup: T t u(x) = R d e i ξ,x e tψ X (ξ)û(ξ)dξ. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 5

6 Contracts on baskets multivariate processes Modelling issue: Parametrization of dependence Drift part deterministic no dependence, Diffusion part Pure jump part Characteristic exponent: ψ X (ξ) = i γ, ξ 1 2 ξ, Qξ + covariance matrix, Lévy copula. R d (e i ξ,x 1 i ξ, x 1 x 1 ) ν(dx), with drift vector γ R d ; volatility correlation matrix Q R d d ; Lévy measure ν(dz), R d (1 z 2 )ν(dz) <. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 6

7 Sklar s theorem for Lévy copulas The tail integral U : R d \{0} R d d { U(x 1,..., x d ) = sgn(x j )ν (xj, ) for x j > 0 (, x j ] for x j < 0 i=1 Theorem. Lévy Process X Lévy Copula F such that Conversely, j=1 }. U I ((x i ) i I ) = F I ((U i (x i )) i I ), I {1,..., d}. (1) Lévy Copula F and given U i : R R + Lévy Process X such that (1) holds for marginal tail integrals of X. Density of X: k(x 1,..., x d ) = [ 1... d F] (U 1 (x 1 ),..., U d (x d )) k 1 (x 1 )... k d (x d ). C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 7

8 Well-posedness requires certain assumptions Recall: Find a solution u(t, ) Domain(E) such that Assumptions: u, v + E(u, v) = 0 for all v Domain(E). (2) t F is 1-homogeneous, i.e. F(tx 1,..., tx d ) = tf(x 1,..., x d ), t > 0 Marginal measures ν i (dx i ) = k i (x i )dx i with k i (z) 1 z 1+Y, z 1. i Admissible margins: CGMY, NIG, Meixner, spectrally negative,... C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 8

9 Well-posedness + explicit domain characterization Lemma. Multivariate process X satisfies Iψ X (ξ) Rψ X (ξ), ξ R d. Theorem. Domain(E) = H (Y 1/2,...,Y d /2) (R d ) and there exist γ, c > 0, C 0 such that and E(u, u) γ u 2 H (Y 1 /2,...,Y d /2) (R d ) C u 2 L 2 (R d ), E(u, v) c u H (Y 1 /2,...,Y d /2) (R d ) v H (Y 1 /2,...,Y d /2) (R d ). The associated semigroup is therefore analytic and the variational problem is well-posed. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 9

10 Implementation in three steps 1. Localization: Truncation to bounded log price domain 2. Space discretization: Matrix problem MU L (t) + A(t)U L (t) = 0, t (0, T ), U L (0) = U Time discretization: E.g. backward Euler 3 (M + ta(t m )) U(t m ) = MU(t m 1 ), 1 m T / t, U(0) = U 0. Not restricted to Lévy processes; e.g. additive processes. 3 Other schemes: Crank-Nicolson, hp discontinuous Galerkin. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 10

11 Localization based on marginal tail decay For implementation, a bounded spatial domain := [ R, R] d is required. Let H (s 1,...,s d ) ( ) := {ū u C 0 ( )}Hs 1,...s d (R d ) where ū is zero-extension of u to R d. Find u R (t, ) H (Y 1/2,...,Y d /2) ( ) such that u R, v R + E(u R, v R ) = 0 for all v R t H (Y 1/2,...,Y d /2) ( ). Proposition. This is still well-posed and u R u L e cr, provided marginal Lévy densities have semi-heavy tails. C. Schwab Workshop PDE+Finance: Marne-la-Vallée Oct15+16, 2007 p. 11

12 Space discretization: Number of matrix entries needs to be reduced Issue 1: Curse of dimension O ( h 2d ) matrix entries 4. Issue 2: Non-local generator A matrix not sparse. Remedies: Sparse Grids: O ( h 2 log h 2(d 1)) entries, Wavelet compression : O ( h d) entries. Combination 5 : Asymptotically optimal complexity, O ( h 1 log h 2(d 1)) non-zero matrix entries. 4 Meshwidth h = 2 L. 5 Provided mixed Sobolev smoothness of solution u. C.
