Theory and Modern Applications

Table 1 Values obtained from our approach and values from Monte-Carlo simulation. The baseline parameters are \(r=0.02\), \(\alpha =0.5\), \(D=100\), \(S^{1}_{0}=100\), \(S^{2}_{0}=100\), \(V_{0}=100\), \(k_{1}=k_{2}=k_{v}=1\), \(m_{1}=m_{2}=m_{v}=-2\), \(\rho _{12}=\rho _{1v}=\rho _{2v}=0.5\), and \(\eta _{1}=\eta _{2}=\eta _{v}=-0.7\). Pricing formula* in \(P_{0}\) denotes the value obtained from Theorem 1. ‘Av. run time’ denotes average CPU execution time for the computation when \(T=3\)
