This paper studies the pricing of Asian options when the volatility of the underlying asset is uncertain. We use the nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula in the G-expectation theory to get the two-dimensional nonlinear PDEs. For the arithmetic average fixed strike Asian options, the nonlinear PDEs can be transferred to linear PDEs. For the arithmetic average floating strike Asian options, we use a dimension reduction technique to transfer the two-dimensional nonlinear PDEs to one-dimensional nonlinear PDEs. Then we introduce the applicable numerical computation methods for these two classes of PDEs and analyze the performance of the numerical algorithms.

The pricing equations of the average options with jump diffusion processes can be formulated as two-dimensional partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs). In the uncertain volatility model, for options with non-convex and non-concave payoffs, such as the butterfly spread, the PIDEs are nonlinear. We use the semi-Lagrangian method to reduce the two-dimensional nonlinear PIDE to a one-dimensional nonlinear PIDE along the trajectory of the average price, and use a Newton-type iteration to guarantee the convergence of the discrete solution to the viscosity solution. Monotonicity and stability as well as the convergence results are derived. Numerical tests of convergence for a variety of cases, including average butterfly spread and ordinary butterfly spread, are presented.

Recently, hybrid stochastic and local volatility models have become an industry standard for the pricing of derivatives and other problems in finance. In this study, we use a multiscale stochastic volatility model incorporated by the constant elasticity of variance to understand the price structure of continuous arithmetic average Asian options. The multiscale partial differential equation for the option price is approximated by a couple of single scale partial differential equations. In terms of the elasticity parameter governing the leverage effect, a correction to the stochastic volatility model is made for more efficient pricing and hedging of Asian options.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

The state-of-the-art of surface water impoundment modeling is examined from the viewpoints of both hydrodynamics and water quality. In the area of hydrodynamics current one dimensional integral energy and two dimensional models are discussed. In the area of water quality, the formulations used for various parameters are presented with a range of values for the associated rate coefficients.

Formation of gas hydrates under shock wave impact on bubble media (two-dimensional case) The dynamics of plane one-dimensional shock waves applied to the available experimental data for the water–freon media is studied on the base of the theoretical model of the bubble liquid improved with taking into account possible hydrate formation. The scheme of accounting of the bubble crushing in a shock wave that is one of the main factors in the hydrate formation intensification with increasing shock wave amplitude is proposed.

Numerical investigation of efficiency of UNO- and TVD-modifications of the Godunov method of the second order accuracy for computation of linear waves in an elastic body in comparison with the classical Godunov method is carried out. To this end, one-dimensional cylindrical Riemann problems are considered. It is shown that the both modifications are considerably more accurate in describing radially converging as well as diverging longitudinal and shear waves and contact discontinuities both in one- and two-dimensional problem statements. At that the UNO-modification is more preferable than the TVD-modification because exact implementation of the TVD property in the TVD-modification is reached at the expense of “cutting” solution extrema.

The two-dimensional and two-phase model of the gas-liquid mixture is constructed. The validity of numerical model realization is justified by using a comparative analysis of test problems solution with one-dimensional calculations. The regularities of gas-saturated liquid outflow from axisymmetric vessels for different geometries are established.
