2. 1. Valuing Path-Dependent Options using the Finite Element Method, Duality Techniques, and Model Reduction

   Author : Georgios Foufas; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; finite element method; Galerkin; duality; a posteriori error estimation; adaptivity; option pricing; Greeks; Brownian motion; European option; barrier option; lookback option; Asian option; average option; POD; model reduction; balanced truncation; lookback option;

   Abstract : In this thesis we develop an adaptive finite element method for pricing of several path-dependent options including barrier options, lookback options, and Asian options. The options are priced using the Black-Scholes PDE-model, and the resulting PDE:s are of parabolic type in one spatial dimension with different boundary conditions and jump conditions at monitoring dates.

4. 2. Numerical analysis for random processes and fields and related design problems

   Author : Konrad Abramowicz; Oleg Seleznjev; Krzysztof Podgórski; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stochastic processes; random fields; approximation; numerical integration; Hermite splines; piecewise linear interpolator; local stationarity; point singularity; stratified Monte Carlo quadrature; Asian option; Monte Carlo pricing method; Lévy market models; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we study numerical analysis for random processes and fields. We investigate the behavior of the approximation accuracy for specific linear methods based on a finite number of observations. Furthermore, we propose techniques for optimizing performance of the methods for particular classes of random functions. READ MORE

6. 4. On the Pricing of Path-Dependent Options and Related Problems

   Author : Per Hörfelt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The thesis considers the pricing of European path-dependent options in a multi-dimensional Black-Scholes model. The thesis focuses mainly on the three different classes of path-dependent options: barrier, Asian, and lookback options. The thesis consists of eight chapters. READ MORE
