QuoteOriginally posted by: outrunQuoteSearching for Fang-Oosterlee, I found out that Oosterlee works around the corner You're referring to COS inversion method, right?Great, you can ask him questions. Yes, the COS method -- the main advantage for calibration is that it is a vectorized method; you can pass ita vector of N strikes for a given expiration. It requires a vector of char. function values at M points, and then you get a vectorof option prices at those strikes from OptionVec = mat . CharFuncVec, where mat is a very simple N x M matrix. So, if the char. function is obtainedfrom a call to Daniel's pde routine, there are only M calls to that, regardless of the number of options with that fixed expiration.So it minimizes the number of calls to the most computationally expensive function, which is the char. function.
