This paper develops a rigorous asymptotic expansion method with its numerical scheme for the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem in second order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). As an application, we propose a new approximation formula for pricing barrier option in the log-normal SABR...

This paper derives a new semi closed-form approximation formula for pricing an up-and-out barrier option under a certain type of stochastic volatility model including SABR model by applying a rigorous asymptotic expansion method developed by Kato, Takahashi and Yamada (2012). We also demonstrate...

This paper proposes a general approximation method for the solutions to second order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) by an extension of Leandre's approach and the Bismut identity in Malliavin calculus. We show two types of its applications, new approximations of derivatives...

This paper proposes a general approximation method for the solution to a second-order parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) widely used in finance through an extension of Leandre's approach (Leandre, 2006, 2008) and the Bismut identiy (e.g. chapter IX-7 of Malliavin, 1997) in Malliavin...
