Abstract

We consider the computational efficiency of the backward vs. forward approaches and compare these with the respective ones resulting from a parametric reduced order model, whose speed-up can be put to good use in the calibration of the underlying dynamics. We apply a global Proper Orthogonal Decomposition in the time domain to obtain the reduced basis and the Modified Craig-Sneyd ADI and Chang-Cooper schemes to numerically solve the partial differential equations. The numerical results are presented for the Black-Scholes and Heston models.
