COS-TT-CHF: A Tensor-Train Characteristic-Function COS Method for Multi-Asset Option Pricing

This paper considers European multi-asset option pricing under L\'evy and affine characteristic-function models. The main obstruction is the curse of dimensionality: direct multidimensional COS pricing forms tensor-product coefficient arrays whose size grows exponentially with the number of assets. We study and extend COS-TT-CHF, a low-rank construction that uses TT-cross to compress sampled characteristic-function tensors into tensor-train COS coefficients for arithmetic basket and min/max option pricing. Once built, the compressed representation gives fast post-setup strike-grid and selected component Delta/Vega calculations. The numerical study compares with adaptive-quadrature Fourier benchmarks, direct COS, a tensor-Fourier min-option benchmark, and quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) references based on randomized Sobol points. The reported timings show a low-dimensional crossover against direct COS as the benchmark moves from $d=2$ to $d=4$, favorable timings against the tensor-Fourier min-option benchmark from $d=3$ onward, and favorable timings against the QMC common-Heston reference already at $d=2$. The reported tests reach $d=30$ for GBM and $d=20$ for VG, NIG, and common-Heston benchmark families, with accuracy, rank, runtime, control-sensitivity, and component Delta/Vega diagnostics reported throughout.

Full grid solution for multi-asset options pricing with tensor networks

Pricing multi-asset options via the Black-Scholes PDE is limited by the curse of dimensionality: classical full-grid solvers scale exponentially in the number of underlyings and are effectively restricted to three assets. Practitioners typically rely on Monte Carlo methods for computing complex instrument involving multiple correlated underlyings. We show that quantized tensor trains (QTT) turn the d-asset Black-Scholes PDE into a tractable high-dimensional problem on a personal computer. We construct QTT representations of the operator, payoffs, and boundary conditions with ranks that scale polynomially in d and polylogarithmically in the grid size, and build two solvers: a time-stepping algorithm for European and American options and a space-time algorithm for European options. We compute full-grid prices and Greeks for correlated basket and max-min options in three to five dimensions with high accuracy. The methods introduced can comfortably be pushed to full-grid solutions on 10-15 underlyings, with further algorithmic optimization and more compute power.

Fast and Flexible Quantum-Inspired Differential Equation Solvers with Data Integration

Accurately solving high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) remains a central challenge in computational mathematics. Traditional numerical methods, while effective in low-dimensional settings or on coarse grids, often struggle to deliver the precision required in practical applications. Recent machine learning-based approaches offer flexibility but frequently fall short in terms of accuracy and reliability, particularly in industrial contexts. In this work, we explore a quantum-inspired method based on quantized tensor trains (QTT), enabling efficient and accurate solutions to PDEs in a variety of challenging scenarios. Through several representative examples, we demonstrate that the QTT approach can achieve logarithmic scaling in both memory and computational cost for linear and nonlinear PDEs. Additionally, we introduce a novel technique for data-driven learning within the quantum-inspired framework, combining the adaptability of neural networks with enhanced accuracy and reduced training time.
