Abstract

This paper develops a rigorous asymptotic expansion method with its numerical scheme for the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem in second order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). As an application, we propose a new approximation formula for pricing barrier option in the log-normal SABR stochastic volatility model.

Keywords: asymptotic expansion, The Cauchy-Dirichlet problem, second order parabolic PDEs, barrier options, stochastic volatility model
