โฆ Synopsis
We use the normalized preconditioned conjugate gradient method with Strang's circulant preconditioner to solve a nonsymmetric Toeplitz system A n x = b, which arises from the discretization of a partial integro-differential equation in option pricing. By using the definition of family of generating functions introduced in [16], we prove that Strang's circulant preconditioner leads to a superlinear convergence rate under certain conditions. Numerical results exemplify our theoretical analysis.

In this paper, we consider solving potential equations by the boundary integral equation approach. The equations so derived are Fredholm integral equations of the รฟrst kind and are known to be ill-conditioned. Their discretized matrices are dense and have condition numbers growing like O(n) where n
In this work we analyze the value of an Asian arithmetic option with an approach different from that used by Geman and Yor with Bessel processes in 1993. We obtain the same solution of the valuation problem, without using any previous results based on Bessel processes; by means of partial differenti
## a b s t r a c t We study some properties of block-circulant preconditioners for high-order compact approximations of convection-diffusion problems. For two-dimensional problems, the approximation gives rise to a nine-point discretisation matrix and in three dimensions, we obtain a nineteen-poin
## Abstract In this article we first identify a missing term in the Bouaziz, Briys, and Crouhy (1994) pricing formula for forwardโstarting Asian options and derive the correct one. First, illustrate in certain cases that the missing term in their pricing formula could induce large pricing errors or
