Numerical Method for Highly Non-linear Mean-reverting Asset Price Model with CEV-type Process (2205.00634v1)

Abstract: It is well documented from various empirical studies that the volatility process of an asset price dynamics is stochastic. This phenomenon called for a new approach to describing the random evolution of volatility through time with stochastic models. In this paper, we propose a mean-reverting theta-rho model for asset price dynamics where the volatility diffusion factor of this model follows a highly non-linear CEV-type process. Since this model lacks a closed-form formula, we construct a new truncated EM method to study it numerically under the Khasminskii-type condition. We justify that the truncated EM solutions can be used to evaluate a path-dependent financial product.
