Hi everyone,

I´m trying to price european (and american) call option with partial integro differential equation,(stock price following levy process in general). But i´m having hard times to implement the code in matlab.

Could you please hepl in proving an example of code.

Thanks very much

Dear tuko

it seems you are doing very interesting problem. Would you mind posting a brief of your problem formulation so that we can have a brief idea what you are trying to do. In fact, by just looking at your one-page pdf file, I cannot know what you are trying to do and where you get stuck
 
Thanks for your answer .
I´m trying to approximate the equation using finite diference method, but i got stuck with the integral term, i cant figure out how to deal with in.
 
I also guess so ! The difficulties lie in Levy measure, but you could choose a Levy measure for your problem then it might be easier.
To deal with infinity upper/lower limits, I guess only way to do it is to map it into [0,1] interval
 
That ´s exactly where I got stuck :) I chose Meixner process and it´s measure (I had to) but I ´m not able to move on with it.
 
tuko : if you can choose a Levy measure, I just guess (I might be wrong) that you could transform the lower/upper limit to [0,1] interval. Then apply the finite difference method for the integral equation. I am sure that you can google to find such methods
 
Daniel, thanks for your paper it´s really interesting.
I´ve tried to use the trapezoidal rule for the integral term (but only without transformation to [0,1], thanks Nguyen for your idea.)
But I think that my problem is the implementation in matlab.
Thanks for your help guys!!
 
Thanks so much Daniel, it seems like you are excellent in this problem
