TLDR
The stability of the proposed finite difference method and the second-order convergence rate with respect to a discrete $\ell^{2}$-norm are proved.
Abstract
We develop a finite difference method to solve partial integro-differential equations which describe the behavior of option prices under jump-diffusion models. With localization to a bounded domain of the spatial variable, these equations are discretized on uniform grid points over a finite domain of time and spatial variables. The proposed method is based on three time levels and leads to linear systems with tridiagonal matrices. In this paper the stability of the proposed method and the second-order convergence rate with respect to a discrete $\ell^{2}$-norm are proved. Numerical results obtained with European put options under the Merton and Kou models show the behaviors of the stability and the second-order convergence rate.

An IMEX-Scheme for Pricing Options under Stochastic Volatility Models with Jumps

TL;DR: This work adopts a two-step implicit-explicit (IMEX) time discretization scheme, the IMEX-CNAB scheme, where the jump term is treated explicitly using the second-order Adams--Bashforth (AB) method, while the rest is treated implicitly using the Crank--Nicolson (CN) method.

On the Variable Two-Step IMEX BDF Method for Parabolic Integro-differential Equations with Nonsmooth Initial Data Arising in Finance

TL;DR: The implicit-explicit (IMEX) two-step backward differentiation formula (BDF2) method with variable step-size, due to the nonsmoothness of the initial data, is developed for solving backward differentiation problems.

Second Order Accurate IMEX Methods for Option Pricing Under Merton and Kou Jump-Diffusion Models

TL;DR: Three implicit-explicit (IMEX) time semi-discretization methods are developed for solving parabolic partial integro-differential equations which arise in option pricing theory when the underlying asset follows a jump diffusion process, showing stability, convergence and computational complexity of the methods.

The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical valuation formula for options is derived, based on the assumption that options are correctly priced in the market and it should not be possible to make sure profits by creating portfolios of long and short positions in options and their underlying stocks.

Option pricing when underlying stock returns are discontinuous

TL;DR: In this article, an option pricing formula was derived for the more general case when the underlying stock returns are generated by a mixture of both continuous and jump processes, and the derived formula has most of the attractive features of the original Black-Scholes formula.

Option valuation using the fast Fourier transform

TL;DR: In this paper, the fast Fourier transform is used to value options when the characteristic function of the return is known analytically, and it is shown how to use it for value selection.
