Parisian Options

In this article, we study a double barrier version of the standard Parisian options. We give closed formulas for the Laplace transforms of their prices with respect to the maturity time. We explain how to invert them numerically and prove a result on the accuracy of the numerical inversion when the function to be recovered is sufficiently smooth. Henceforth, we study the regularity of the Parisian option prices with respect to maturity time and prove that except for particular values of the barriers, the prices are of class [Formula: see text] (see Theorem 5.1). This study heavily relies on the existence of a density for the Parisian times, so we have deeply investigated the existence and the regularity of the density for the Parisian times (see Theorem 5.3).

AbstractWe show that the performances of the finite difference method for double barrier option pricing can be strongly enhanced by applying both a repeated Richardson extrapolation technique and a mesh optimization procedure. In particular, first we construct a space mesh that is uniform and aligned with the discontinuity points of the solution being sought. This is accomplished by means of a suitable transformation of coordinates, which involves some parameters that are implicitly defined and whose existence and uniqueness is theoretically established. Then, a finite difference scheme employing repeated Richardson extrapolation in both space and time is developed. The overall approach exhibits high efficacy: barrier option prices can be computed with accuracy close to the machine precision in less than one second. The numerical simulations also reveal that the improvement over existing methods is due to the combination of the mesh optimization and the repeated Richardson extrapolation.

This paper aims to study the asymptotic behavior of double barrier American-style put option prices under an uncertain volatility model, which degenerates to a single point. We give an approximation of the double barrier American-style option prices with a small volatility interval, expressed by the Black–Scholes–Barenblatt equation. Then, we propose a novel representation for the early exercise boundary of American-style double barrier options in terms of the optimal stopping boundary of a single barrier contract.
