This paper provides a numerical analysis for European options under partial integro-differential Bates model. An explicit finite difference scheme has been used for the differential part, while the integral part has been approximated using the four-points open type formula. The stability and consistency have been studied. Moreover, conditions guaranteing positivity of the solutions are provided. Illustrative numerical examples are included.

This paper deals with the numerical solution of option pricing stochastic volatility model described by a time-dependent, two-dimensional convection-diffusion reaction equation. Firstly, the mixed spatial derivative of the partial differential equation (PDE) is removed by means of the classical technique for reduction of second-order linear partial differential equations to canonical form. An explicit difference scheme with positive coefficients and only five-point computational stencil is constructed. The boundary conditions are adapted to the boundaries of the rhomboid transformed numerical domain. Consistency of the scheme with the PDE is shown and stepsize discretization conditions in order to guarantee stability are established. Illustrative numerical examples are included.

This paper deals with the numerical analysis of PIDE option pricing models with CGMY process using double discretization schemes. This approach assumes weaker hypotheses of the solution on the numerical boundary domain than other relevant papers. Positivity, stability, and consistency are studied. An explicit scheme is proposed after a suitable change of variables. Advantages of the proposed schemes are illustrated with appropriate examples.

In this work a finite difference approach together with a bivariate Gauss-Hermite quadrature technique are developed for partial-integro differential equations related to option pricing problems on two underlying asset driven by jumpdiffusion models. Firstly, the mixed derivative term is removed using a suitable transformation avoiding numerical drawbacks such as slow convergence and inaccuracy due to the appearance of spurious oscillations. Unlike the more traditional truncation approach we use 2D Gauss-Hermite quadrature with the additional advantage of saving computational cost. The explicit finite difference scheme becomes consistent, conditionally stable and positive. European and American option cases are treated. Numerical results are illustrated and analyzed with experiments and comparisons with other well recognized methods.
