In the framework of Galichon, Henry-Labordère and Touzi, we consider the model-free no-arbitrage bound of variance option given the marginal distributions of the underlying asset. We first make some approximations which restrict the computation on a bounded domain. Then we propose a gradient...

We derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the $L^{\infty}-$monotonicity of finite difference $\theta$-scheme for a diffusion equation. We confirm that the discretization ratio $\Delta t = O(\Delta x^2)$ is necessary for the monotonicity except for the implicit scheme. In case of the...
