There is a need for very fast option pricers when the financial objects are modeled by complex systems of stochastic differential equations.Here the authors investigate option pricers based on mixed Monte-Carlo partial differential solvers for stochastic volatility models such as Heston’s.It is found that orders of magnitude in speed are gained on full Monte-Carlo algorithms by solving all equations but one by a Monte-Carlo method,and pricing the underlying asset by a partial differential equation with random coefficients,derived by Ito calculus.This strategy is investigated for vanilla options,barrier options and American options with stochastic volatilities and jumps optionally.

Here the authors investigate option pricers based on mixed Monte-Carlo partial differential solvers for stochastic volatility models such as Heston’s.It is found that orders of magnitude in speed are now on full Monte-Carlo algorithms by solving all equations but one by a Monte-Carlo method, and pricing the underlying asset by a partial differential equation with random coefficients, derived by Ito calculus.
