Solutions to integro-differential problems arising on pricing options in a Lévy market

We study an integro-differential parabolic problem arising in Financial Mathematics. Under suitable conditions, we prove the existence of solutions for a multi-asset case in a general domain using the method of upper and lower solutions and a diagonal argument. We also model the jump in the related...

Sumario:We study an integro-differential parabolic problem arising in Financial Mathematics. Under suitable conditions, we prove the existence of solutions for a multi-asset case in a general domain using the method of upper and lower solutions and a diagonal argument. We also model the jump in the related integro differential equation and give a solution procedure for that model assuming that the brownian motions are not correlated. For a bounded domain, this model for the jump gives an elegant expression of the solution in terms of hyper-spherical harmonics. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
