speed ratio between closed form and pde pricing

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: outrunI expect a simple closed form computation to cost the same as a couple of grid nodes in the PDE: e.g. maybe 12 nodes. If you do a PDE on a 300x700 grid then the speedup is 300*700/12. Another benefit for closed form is that it is also exact. The PDE needs a large ...

maximum to date with local volatility model

<t>Consider an underlying S under local volatility modelling, S follows the stochastic differential equation[$] \frac{dS}{S} = r dt + \sigma (t, S) dW_t [$]For each [$]t[$], we know the distribution of [$]S_t[$] via the implied volatility.What is the simplest way to compute the distribution of[$] \m...

Local Vol and stoch vol model

Hi,Could someone give a simple example for a product(and market condition) where a stoch vol model would clearly price higher than a loc vol model(and vice-versa)?Thanks

optimal digging angle

Some of them can be dedicated to stamping earth rather than digging.Anyway these guys would quickly die due to the lack of oxygen, unless one of them can master the one-inch punch technique
