Computing option pricing models under transaction costs. (English) Zbl 1189.91203

Summary: This paper deals with the Barles-Soner model arising in the hedging of portfolios for option pricing with transaction costs. This model is based on a correction volatility function \(\Psi \) solution of a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. In this paper we obtain relevant properties of the function \(\Psi \) which are crucial in the numerical analysis and computing of the underlying nonlinear Black-Scholes equation. Consistency and stability of the proposed numerical method are detailed and illustrative examples are given.
