Anotace

The valuation of a wide range of option contracts using the different financial models has acquired increasing popularity in modern financial theory and practice. This lecture is dedicated to the option pricing problem, governed by the two-dimensional partial differential equation. The whole system is discretized by the discontinuous Galerkin method combined with the implicit Euler scheme for the temporal discretization. Two selected options are mentioned here such as the basket options dependent on two risk sources and the Asian options with continuous arithmetic averaging over one underlying asset. The practical numerical results are presented on real DAX option market data.
