2. Exploring backward stochastic differential equations and deep learning for high-dimensional partial differential equations and European option pricing
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikationAbstract : Many phenomena in our world can be described as differential equations in high dimensions. However, they are notoriously challenging to solve numerically due to the exponential growth in computational cost with increasing dimensions. READ MORE

3. Stochastic Runge–Kutta Lawson Schemes for European and Asian Call Options Under the Heston Model
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikationAbstract : This thesis investigated Stochastic Runge–Kutta Lawson (SRKL) schemes and their application to the Heston model. Two distinct SRKL discretization methods were used to simulate a single asset’s dynamics under the Heston model, notably the Euler–Maruyama and Midpoint schemes. READ MORE

4. Artificial Intelligence for Option Pricing
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaperAbstract : This thesis addresses the issue of vulnerable underlying assumptions used in option pricing methodology. More precisely; underlying assumptions made on the financial assets and markets make option pricing theory vulnerable to changes in the financial framework. READ MORE

5. Swaptions from a Clearinghouse perspective : Hedging swaptions, an option on interest rate swaps, using compression
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : With the increasing popularity of interest rate swaps the need to understandswaptions, an option of an interest rate swap, is of great importance. A swap-tion can be used in both speculative purposes and to hedge against changesin interest rates. The most important thing to understand is the pricing for-mula. READ MORE
