Finite Element Based Monte Carlo Simulation of Options on Lévy Driven Assets

Karlsson, Patrik LU (2018) In International Journal of Financial Engineering 05(01).
Abstract
This paper extends the simulation algorithm by Andreasen & Huge (2011) to the simulation of option prices and deltas on Lévy driven assets. The simulation is performed relying on the inverse transition matrix of the discretized PDE. Each row describes the evolution of option prices and can thus be seen as the underlying’s transition probability distribution. We demonstrate how one can get accurate prices and deltas of European options on VG and CGMY via Monte Carlo simulations.
