In the present paper, we propose a numerical scheme to calculate expectations with first hitting time to a given smooth boundary, in view of the application to the pricing of options with non-linear barriers. To attack the problem, we rely on the symmetrization technique in Akahori and Imamura (Quant Finance 14(7):1211–1216, 2014) and Imamura et al. (Monte Carlo Methods Appl 20(4):223–235, 2014), with some modifications. To see the effectiveness, we perform some numerical experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
