“…For the BSM model there are several quantitative studies, e.g. Duistermaat et al (2005) by the method referred to as nth-order randomization, based on a method proposed by Carr (1998) for American options, Kimura (2008) applying the Laplace-Carlson transform and Jeon et al (2016) defining an equivalent PDE problem with mixed boundary conditions and solving it using Mellin transform. These methods rely on the possibility of explicit solving the respective transformed problems and hence are restricted to the BSM model.…”

“…Additionally to these two natural constrains we considered the following one: we asked the free boundary to be a concave function, such form of the boundary can be see in Kimura (2008), Jeon et al (2016). That is, in terms for our approximate boundary we posed additionally In Figure 4 the typical absolute errors that we obtain for the boundary conditions ( 40) and (41) are presented.…”

“…Even though there are several quantitative studies on the FHRO, e.g. Duistermaat et al (2005), Kimura (2008) and Jeon et al (2016), it seems that there is no agreement on the exact value for the option. We contribute to this discussion confirming the values from Jeon et al (2016) and providing possible explanation of the discrepancy with Kimura (2008).…”
This paper develops a method for solving free boundary problems for time-homogeneous diffusions. We combine the complete exponential system of solutions for the heat equation, transmutation operators and recently discovered Neumann series of Bessel functions representation for solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations to construct a complete system of solutions for the considered partial differential equations. The conceptual algorithm for the application of the method is presented. The valuation of Russian options with finite horizon is used as a numerical illustration. The solution under different horizons is computed and compared to the results that appear in the literature.

“…In recent years, the diverse options have been studied with Mellin transforms by many researchers (cf. [5][6][7][8][9]). In particular, pricing formulas for vulnerable options under the structural model have been derived using the double Mellin transforms (cf.…”
This paper studies an irreversible investment problem under a finite horizon. The firm expands its production capacity in irreversible investments by purchasing capital to increase productivity. This problem is a singular stochastic control problem and its associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation is derived. By using a Mellin transform, we obtain the integral equation satisfied by the free boundary of this investment problem. Furthermore, we solve the integral equation numerically using the recursive integration method and present the graph for the free boundary.
“…Mixed boundary condition usually arises in the option pricing problem related to maximum process of underlying asset. Jeon et al [5] derived an integral equation satisfying the Russian option using the Mellin transform. The Russian option satisfies (1+1)-dimensional Black-Scholes equations with mixed boudnary conditions.…”
In this paper, we investigate (1+2)-dimensional Black-Scholes partial differential equations(PDE) with mixed boundary conditions. The main idea of our method is to transform the given PDE into the relatively simple ordinary differential equations(ODE) using double Mellin transforms. By using inverse double Mellin transforms, we derive the analytic representation of the solutions for the (1+2)-dimensional Black-Scholes equation with a mixed boundary condition. Moreover, we apply our method to European maximumquanto lookback options and derive the pricing formula of this options. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35K20. Key words and phrases.
