In the stock markets, the process of estimating a fair price for a stock, option or commodity is consider the corner stone for this trade. There are several attempts to obtain a suitable mathematical model in order to enhance the estimation process for evaluating the options for short or long periods. The Black-Scholes partial differential equation (PDE) and its analytical solution, 1973, are considered a breakthrough in the mathematical modeling for the stock markets. Because of the ideal assumptions of Black-Scholes several alternatives have been developed to adequate the models to the real markets. Two strategies have been done to capture these behaviors; the first modification is to add jumps into the asset following Lévy processes, leading to a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE); the second is to allow the volatility to evolve stochastically leading to a PDE with two spatial variables. Here in this work, we solve numerically PIDEs for a wide class of Lévy processes using finite difference schemes for European options and also, the associated linear complementarity problem (LCP) for American option. Moreover, the models for options under stochastic volatility incorporated with jump-diffusion are considered. Numerical analysis for the proposed schemes is studied since it is the efficient and practical way to guarantee the convergence and accuracy of numerical solutions. In fact, without numerical analysis, careless computations may waste good mathematical models. This thesis consists of four chapters; the first chapter is an introduction containing historically review for stochastic processes, Black-Scholes equation and preliminaries on numerical analysis. Chapter two is devoted to solve the PIDE for European option under CGMY process. The PIDE for this model is solved numerically using two distinct discretization approximations; the first approximation guarantees unconditionally consistency while the second approximation provides unconditional positivity and stability. In the first approximation, the differential part is approximated using the explicit scheme and the integral part is approximated using the trapezoidal rule. In the second approximation, the differential part is approximated using the Patankar-scheme and the integral part is approximated using the four-point open type formula. Chapter three provides a unified treatment for European and American options under a wide class of Lévy processes as CGMY, Meixner and Generalized Hyperbolic. First, the reaction and convection terms of the differential part of the PIDE are removed using appropriate mathematical transformation. The differential part for European case is explicitly discretized , while the integral part is approximated using Laguerre-Gauss quadrature formula. Numerical properties such as positivity, stability and consistency for this scheme are studied. For the American case, the differential part of the LCP is discretized using a three-time level approximation with the same integration technique. Next, the Projected successive over relaxation and multigrid techniques have been implemented to obtain the numerical solution. Several numerical examples are given including discussion of the errors and computational cost. Finally in Chapter four, the PIDE for European option under Bates model is considered. Bates model combines both stochastic volatility and jump diffusion approaches resulting in a PIDE with a mixed derivative term. Since the presence of cross derivative terms involves the existence of negative coefficient terms in the numerical scheme deteriorating the quality of the numerical solution, the mixed derivative is eliminated using suitable mathematical transformation. The new PIDE is solved numerically and the numerical analysis is provided. Moreover, the LCP for American option under Bates model is studied.
