Reduced-Order Modeling for Heston Stochastic Volatility Model

In this paper, we compare the intrusive proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with Galerkin projection and the data-driven dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), for Heston's option pricing model. The full order model is obtained by discontinuous Galerkin discretization in space and backward Euler in time. Numerical results for butterfly spread, European and digital call options reveal that in general DMD requires more modes than the POD modes for the same level of accuracy. However, the speed-up factors are much higher for DMD than POD due to the non-intrusive nature of the DMD.

Pricing European and American Options under Heston Model using Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Elements

This paper deals with pricing of European and American options, when the underlying asset price follows Heston model, via the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (dGFEM). The advantages of dGFEM space discretization with Rannacher smoothing as time integrator with nonsmooth initial and boundary conditions are illustrated for European vanilla options, digital call and American put options. The convection dominated Heston model for vanishing volatility is efficiently solved utilizing the adaptive dGFEM. For fast solution of the linear complementary problem of the American options, a projected successive over relaxation (PSOR) method is developed with the norm preconditioned dGFEM. We show the efficiency and accuracy of dGFEM for option pricing by conducting comparison analysis with other methods and numerical experiments.
