Abstract: | This paper presents a partial differential equation method for computing the moments of a certain class of functionals in the Black-Scholes framework. It is shown that, for this set of functionals, a change of variables can be used to reduce the dimension of the problem. The moments can be found by numerically solving one-dimensional partial differential equations. The method is demonstrated by obtaining numerical solutions for the moments of the consinuous arithmetic average. |
