Error analysis of the COS method for options pricing
This thesis investigates the use of the Fourier cosine (COS) method for pricing European options under a variety of Lévy process models. The COS method is a Fourier-based technique that leverages the characteristic function of an asset’s returns to efficiently compute option prices. We apply it to …
