This paper presents a novel method to price discretely-monitored single- and double-barrier options in Levy process-based models. The method involves a sequential evaluation of Hilbert transforms of the product of the Fourier transform of the value function at the previous barrier monitoring...

We present a fast and accurate method to compute exponential moments of the discretely observed maximum of a Levy process. The method involves a sequential evaluation of Hilbert transforms of expressions involving the characteristic function of the (Esscher transformed) Levy process. It can be...

In this paper, we first propose a portfolio management model where the objective is to balance equity and liability. The asset price dynamics includes both permanent and temporary price impact, where the permanent impact is a linear function of the cumulative trading amount and the temporary...

We propose a new computational method for the valuation of options in jump-diffusion models. The option value function for European and barrier options satisfies a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE). This PIDE is commonly integrated in time by implicit-explicit (IMEX) time...

In this paper, a waste heat recovery system is proposed where a high speed turbocharged diesel engine acts as the topper of a combined cycle with exhaust gases used for a bottoming Rankine cycle. The paper describes a mathematical model to evaluate the performance of Rankine cycle system with a...
