Boundary conditions at infinity for Black-Scholes equations
Boundary conditions at infinity for Black-Scholes equations ArXiv ID: 2401.05549 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract We propose a numerical procedure for computing the prices of European options, in which the underlying asset price is a Markovian strict local martingale. If the underlying process is a strict local martingale and the payoff is of linear growth, multiple solutions exist for the corresponding Black-Scholes equations. When numerical schemes such as finite difference methods are applied, a boundary condition at infinity must be specified, which determines a solution among the candidates. The minimal solution, which is considered as the derivative price, is obtained by our boundary condition. The stability of our procedure is supported by the fact that our numerical solution satisfies a discrete maximum principle. In addition, its accuracy is demonstrated through numerical experiments in comparison with the methods proposed in the literature. ...
