NUMERICAL STABILITY of A HYBRID METHOD for PRICING OPTIONS

We develop and study stability properties of a hybrid approximation of functionals of the Bates jump model with stochastic interest rate that uses a tree method in the direction of the volatility and the interest rate and a finite-difference approach in order to handle the underlying asset price process. We also propose hybrid simulations for the model, following a binomial tree in the direction of both the volatility and the interest rate, and a space-continuous approximation for the underlying asset price process coming from a Euler-Maruyama type scheme. We test our numerical schemes by computing European and American option prices.
