I want to find Boundary conditions for Convertible Bond under Two-factor Model Interest Rate.The portfolio contains stock where stochastic differential equation for the stock price is dst=rSt+σStdW1(t) where σ is constant and dynamics of r as follow drt=κ(θ−rt)dt+ΣdW2(t)
Answer
For a two-factor option pricing model with underlying variables S and r defined as above, if we assume there is no correlation between the two Wiener processes W1 and W2, one finds the generalized Black-Scholes PDE Vt+12σ2VSS+rSVS−rV+12Σ2Vrr+κ(θ−r)Vr=0 This equation is subject to initial and boundary conditions. Generally speaking, derivative pricing models for different financial scenarios may share a similar pricing partial differential equation (PDE) with adjusted parameters and boundary conditions.Boundary conditions defining two portfolios will be considered. The first set of conditions will describe a European call stock option. The second set of conditions models a convertible bond. The stock price S and interest rate, r.
- At the maturity time T, the call option price will be the payoff function V(S,r,T)=max
- At S = 0, the option is worthless: \begin{align} V(0,r,T)=0 \end{align}
- For large stock price S_{\max}, it is almost certain that the bond will be converted to one share of the stock. Hence \begin{align} V(S_{\max},r,t)=S_{\max} \end{align}
- When r_t is infinitely large, the bond component tends to zero. Since we do not enforce any time-dependent constraints of puttable and callable features, the upper bound and the lower bound to the price of the convertible bond are \max\{S,\infty\} and \max\{S,0\} respectively. Therefore we define the boundary condition as \begin{align} V(S,r_{\max},t)=\min\left\{\max\{S,\infty\},\max\{S,0\}\right\}=S \end{align}
- For a very small interest rate, we use homogeneous Neumann condition suggested by Bermudez and Nogueiras.
