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.

7. 5. Asymptotic Methods for Pricing European Option in a Market Model With Two Stochastic Volatilities

   Author : Betuel Canhanga; Sergei Sivestrov; Anatoliy Malyarenko; Ying Ni; Milica Rancic; Raimondo Manca; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asymptotic Expansion; European Options; Stochastic Volatilities; Mathematics Applied Mathematics; matematik tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : Modern financial engineering is a part of applied mathematics that studies market models. Each model is characterized by several parameters. Some of them are familiar to a wide audience, for example, the price of a risky security, or the risk free interest rate. Other parameters are less known, for example, the volatility of the security.
