options - Boundary Condition for Convertible Bond under Two-factor Model Interest Rate



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(θrt)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+rSVSrV+12Σ2Vrr+κ(θr)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.



  1. At the maturity time T, the call option price will be the payoff function V(S,r,T)=max{SK,0}

  2. At S=0, the option is worthless: V(0,r,T)=0

  3. For large stock price Smax, it is almost certain that the bond will be converted to one share of the stock. Hence V(Smax,r,t)=Smax

  4. When rt 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,} and max{S,0} respectively. Therefore we define the boundary condition as V(S,rmax,t)=min{max{S,},max{S,0}}=S

  5. For a very small interest rate, we use homogeneous Neumann condition suggested by Bermudez and Nogueiras.
