<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The present article studies geometric step options in exponential Lévy markets. Our contribution is manifold and extends several aspects of the geometric step option pricing literature. First, we provide symmetry and duality relations and derive various characterizations for both European-type and American-type geometric double barrier step options. In particular, we are able to obtain a jump-diffusion disentanglement for the early exercise premium of American-type geometric double barrier step contracts and its maturity-randomized equivalent as well as to characterize the diffusion and jump contributions to these early exercise premiums separately by means of partial integro-differential equations and ordinary integro-differential equations. As an application of our characterizations, we derive semi-analytical pricing results for (regular) European-type and American-type geometric down-and-out step call options under hyper-exponential jump-diffusion models. Lastly, we use the latter results to discuss the early exercise structure of geometric step options once jumps are added and to subsequently provide an analysis of the impact of jumps on the price and hedging parameters of (European-type and American-type) geometric step contracts.</p>

The Galerkin Method

This paper is concerned with a construction of new quadratic spline wavelets on a bounded interval satisfying homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The inner wavelets are translations and dilations of four generators. Two of them are symmetrical and two anti-symmetrical. The wavelets have three vanishing moments and the basis is well-conditioned. Furthermore, wavelets at levels i and j where i - j > 2 are orthogonal. Thus, matrices arising from discretization by the Galerkin method with this basis have O 1 nonzero entries in each column for various types of differential equations, which is not the case for most other wavelet bases. To illustrate applicability, the constructed bases are used for option pricing under jump–diffusion models, which are represented by partial integro-differential equations. Due to the orthogonality property and decay of entries of matrices corresponding to the integral term, the Crank–Nicolson method with Richardson extrapolation combined with the wavelet–Galerkin method also leads to matrices that can be approximated by matrices with O 1 nonzero entries in each column. Numerical experiments are provided for European options under the Merton model.

Basic Hypothesis

Option pricing is always one of the critical issues in financial mathematics and economics. Brownian motion is the basic hypothesis of option pricing model, which questions the fractional property of stock price. In this paper, under the assumption that the exchange rate follows the extended Vasicek model, we obtain the closed form of the pricing formulas for two kinds of power options under fractional Brownian Motion (FBM) jump-diffusion models.

A new discretization strategy is introduced for the numerical solution of partial integrodifferential equations appearing in option pricing jump diffusion models. In order to consider the unknown behaviour of the solution in the unbounded part of the spatial domain, a double discretization is proposed. Stability, consistency, and positivity of the resulting explicit scheme are analyzed. Advantages of the method are illustrated with several examples.
