that is strange, and what is the reason? error VBA code or something with built in function in Excel? or error in B. Soviet PC ?

Ex 3. Q1 = Q2 = 1

p: 9.1499
c:0.5889

Yes, I agree. And all your other examples I agree with as well.

Originally, I had Q1 = Q1 = 1. For other cases I forgot to modify the boundary conditions, And the code

int Q1 = 1.0; int Q2 = 1.0;

was changed to 

int Q1 = 1.0; int Q2 = 0.5;

which didn't work.

All fine till now on my side for Spread options. We are are also testing novel PDE methods for spreads.
Of course, we want them for any payoff and any PDE.

And PDE models have the advantage that we do not need (semi-) analytical solutions which can break down for some parameter values. Nice if they exist but a helluva lot of work.

The other scheme can best be described as "Explicit Lithuanian ADE with some western influence (*)" and are even older than Soviet Splitting and the western quant's darling ADI method.

(*) I don't mean John Wayne.

page 47, (2.21)

what's speed when [$]T = 0[$] (figure 12 only goes to [$]T = 10[$]).

not defined, options with T=0 do not exist, they have expired. Also mathematically not defined in formula as undefined to divide by zero.

I use the Complex Step Method (CSM) to compute derivative of Gamma payoff (i.e. delta) to give speed payoff as discussed in the Stupid Question thread (it doesn't exist as an ordinary function but as a generalised function (distribution)). Solved to my own satisfaction.

Speed corresponds to doublets and dipoles in potential theory.

I would qualify eq 2.21 with [$]T \ne 0[$].

I am now testing the PDE for Vanna; it has terms for Speed and Gamma as inhomogeneous terms. I am getting the right profile but a factor of 4 overshoot. The last frontier in Griekenland.

And no, as best as we can tell she is not related to Alan (or as clever tongues will have it, Hulland) White.

Yeah - somehow a date with Vomma doesn’t sound so hot.
