Speed and biases of Fourier-based pricing choices: A numerical analysis
We compare the CPU effort and pricing biases of seven Fourier-based implementations. Our analyses show that truncation and discretization errors significantly increase as we move away from the Black-Scholes-Merton framework. We rank the speed and accuracy of the competing choices, showing which methods require smaller truncation ranges and which are the most efficient in terms of sampling densities. While all implementations converge well in the Bates jump-diffusion model, Attari's formula is the only Fourier-based method that does not blow up for any Variance Gamma parameter values. In terms of speed, the use of strike vector computations significantly improves the computational burden, rendering both fast Fourier transforms (FFT) and plain delta-probability decompositions inefficient. We conclude that the multi-strike version of the COS method is notably faster than any other implementation, whereas the strike-optimized Carr Madan's formula is simultaneously faster and more accurate than the FFT, thus questioning its use.

Optimal Damping with Hierarchical Adaptive Quadrature for Efficient Fourier Pricing of Multi-Asset Options in Lévy Models
Efficiently pricing multi-asset options is a challenging problem in quantitative finance. When the characteristic function is available, Fourier-based methods are competitive compared to alternative techniques because th…
Some pricing tools for the Variance Gamma model
We establish several closed pricing formula for various path-independent payoffs, under an exponential L\'evy model driven by the Variance Gamma process. These formulas take the form of quickly convergent series and are …
modelThe SINC way: A fast and accurate approach to Fourier pricing
The goal of this paper is to investigate the method outlined by one of us (PR) in Cherubini et al. (2009) to compute option prices. We name it the SINC approach. While the COS method by Fang and Osterlee (2009) leverages…
Learning parameter dependence for Fourier-based option pricing with tensor trains
A long-standing issue in mathematical finance is the speed-up of option pricing, especially for multi-asset options. A recent study has proposed to use tensor train learning algorithms to speed up Fourier transform (FT)-…
