sensitivities - How to compute greeks using the adjoint Monte Carlo approach?


Assume I have a stochastic ODE dS=a(S)dt+b(S)dW,

with Euler approximation ˆSn+1=Fn(ˆSn)=ˆSn+a(ˆSn)h+b(ˆSn)Znh.
This allows me to create sample paths based on drawing normally distributed random numbers Zn from N(0,1).


Now the estimated value of my option is ˆV=1Nif(SiT)

where f is the payoff function and SiT is the i-th sample path of the process at time T.


Assume the ODE and f have various parameters, for example starting value S0, risk-free interest rate r and volatility σ. Furthermore, f is sufficiently continous such that the derivatives


Dn=Fn(ˆSn)ˆSn



exist.


Based on these quantities, how can I compute sensitivities using the adjoint method?
