When solving the American options with or without dividends, numerical methods often obtain lower convergence rates if further treatment is not implemented even using high-order schemes. In this article, we present a fast and explicit fourth-order compact scheme for solving the free boundary options. In particular, the early exercise features with the asset option and option sensitivity are computed based on a coupled of nonlinear PDEs with fixed boundaries for which a high order analytical approximation is obtained. Furthermore, we implement a new treatment at the left boundary by introducing a third-order Robin boundary condition. Rather than computing the optimal exercise boundary from the analytical approximation, we simply obtain it from the asset option based on the linear relationship at the left boundary. As such, a high order convergence rate can be achieved. We validate by examples that the improvement at the left boundary yields a fourth-order convergence rate without further implementation of mesh refinement, Rannacher time-stepping, and/or smoothing of the initial condition. Furthermore, we extensively compare, the performance of our present method with several 5(4) Runge-Kutta pairs and observe that Dormand and Prince and Bogacki and Shampine 5(4) pairs are faster and provide more accurate numerical solutions. Based on numerical results and comparison with other existing methods, we can validate that the present method is very fast and provides more accurate solutions with very coarse grids.

Transition probability densities are fundamental to option pricing. Advancing recent work in deep learning, we develop novel transition density function generators through solving backward Kolmogorov equations in parametric space for cumulative probability functions, using neural networks to obtain accurate approximations of transition probability densities, creating ultra-fast transition density function generators offline that can be trained for any underlying. These are single solve , so they do not require recalculation when parameters are changed (e.g. recalibration of volatility) and are portable to other option pricing setups as well as to less powerful computers, where they can be accessed as quickly as closed-form solutions. We demonstrate the range of application for one-dimensional cases, exemplified by the Black-Scholes-Merton model, two-dimensional cases, exemplified by the Heston process, and finally for a modified Heston model with time-dependent parameters that has no closed-form solution.
Five 4-dimensional families of embedded (4, 5) pairs of explicit 7-stage Runge-Kutta methods with FSAL property (a_7j = b_j, 1 <= j <= 7, c_7 = 1) are derived. Previously known pairs satisfy simplifying assumption sum_j a_ij c_j = c_i^2 / 2, i >= 3, and constitute two of these families. Three families consist of non-FSAL pairs of 6-stage methods, as the 7th stage is not used.
This paper presents the Runge-Kutta-Legendre finite difference scheme, allowing for an additional shift in its polynomial representation. A short presentation of the stability region, comparatively to the Runge-Kutta-Chebyshev scheme follows. We then explore the problem of pricing American options with the Runge-Kutta-Legendre scheme under the one factor Black-Scholes and the two factor Heston stochastic volatility models, as well as the pricing of butterfly spread and digital options under the uncertain volatility model, where a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equation needs to be solved. We explore the order of convergence in these problems, as well as the option greeks stability, compared to the literature and popular schemes such as Crank-Nicolson, with Rannacher time-stepping.
An efficient compression technique based on hierarchical tensors for popular option pricing methods is presented. It is shown that the curse of dimensionality can be alleviated for the computation of Bermudan option prices with the Monte Carlo least-squares approach as well as the dual martingale method, both using high-dimensional tensorized polynomial expansions. This discretization allows for a simple and computationally cheap evaluation of conditional expectations. Complexity estimates are provided as well as a description of the optimization procedures in the tensor train format. Numerical experiments illustrate the favourable accuracy of the proposed methods. The dynamical programming method yields results comparable to recent Neural Network based methods.
We present a multigrid iterative algorithm for solving a system of coupled free boundary problems for pricing American put options with regime-switching. The algorithm is based on our recently developed compact finite difference scheme coupled with Hermite interpolation for solving the coupled partial differential equations consisting of the asset option and the delta, gamma, and speed sensitivities. In the algorithm, we first use the Gauss-Seidel method as a smoother and then implement a multigrid strategy based on modified cycle (M-cycle) for solving our discretized equations. Hermite interpolation with Newton interpolatory divided difference (as the basis) is used in estimating the coupled asset, delta, gamma, and speed options in the set of equations. A numerical experiment is performed with the two- and four- regime examples and compared with other existing methods to validate the optimal strategy. Results show that this algorithm provides a fast and efficient tool for pricing American put options with regime-switching.
