Pricing American-style Derivatives under the Heston Model Dynamics: A Fast Fourier Transformation in the Geske–Johnson Scheme



A choice of some particular cutoff points is case dependent.

The integrand function may exhibit periodicity, as it can always be rewritten in terms of sines and cosines.

Implications of this fact are explored in detail later.

4.5. FFT

Numerical integration of complicated bivariate functions is computationally demanding. Fortunately, (9) is
a Fourier integral. It may be possible to apply very efficient FFT algorithms.

A symmetric Fourier transform pair of bivariate functions is:

f (x,y)  = j I F (kx,ky) e-^k.+yky 1dkχdky,

-∞ -∞

OO ∞

F (kx,ky)  = I f (x,y) e^k*x+k*y)dxdy.

-∞ -∞

FFT algorithms are applied to a discrete version of the above relationship.

Returning to equation (9), the goal is to approximate (2π)2 f (st , vτ )
where the cutoff points are sufficiently large in absolute value. Define:
