Stock Evolution under Stochastic Volatility: A Discrete Approach

This paper examines the pricing of options by approximating extensions of the Black-Scholes setup in which volatility follows a separate diffusion process. It gereralizes the well-known binomial model, constructing a discrete two-dimensional lattice. We discuss convergence issues extensively and calculate prices and implied volatilities for European- and American-style put options.
