Synopsis
#include <imsl.h>
void imsl_f_feynman_kac (int nxgrid, int ntgrid, int nlbcd, int nrbcd, float xgrid[], float tgrid[], void fcn_fkcfiv(), void fcn_fkbcp(), float y[], float y_prime[],…, 0)
The type double function is imsl_d_feynman_kac.
Required Arguments
int nxgrid (Input)
Number of grid lines in the x-direction. nxgrid must be at least 2.
int ntgrid (Input)
Number of time points where an approximate solution is returned. The value ntgrid must be at least 1.
int nlbcd (Input)
Number of left boundary conditions. It is required that 1 ≤nlbcd ≤ 3.
int nrbcd (Input)
Number of right boundary conditions. It is required that 1 ≤nrbcd ≤ 3.
float xgrid[] (Input)
Array of length nxgrid containing the breakpoints for the Hermite quintic splines used in the x discretization. The points in xgrid must be strictly increasing. The values xgrid[0] and xgrid[nxgrid-1] are the endpoints of the interval.
float tgrid[] (Input)
Array of length ntgrid containing the set of time points (in time-remaining units) where an approximate solution is returned. The points in tgrid must be positive and strictly increasing.
void fcn_fkcfiv (float x, float t, int *iflag,float *value)
User-supplied function to compute the values of the coefficients 
for the Feynman-Kac PDE and the initial data function 
.
float x (Input)
Space variable.
float t (Input)
Time variable.
int *iflag (Input/Output)
On entry, iflag indicates which coefficient or data function is to be computed. The following table shows which value has to be returned by fcn_fkcfiv for all possible values of iflag:
|
iflag |
Computed coefficient |
|
-1 |
|
|
0 |
|
|
1 |
|
|
2 |
|
|
3 |
|
For non-zero input values of iflag, note when a coefficient does not depend on t. This is done by setting iflag = 0 after the coefficient is defined. If there is time dependence, the value of iflag should not be changed. This action will usually yield a more efficient algorithm because some finite element matrices do not have to be reassembled for each t value.
float *value (Output)
Value of the coefficient or initial data function. Which value is computed depends on the input value for iflag, see description of iflag.
void fcn_fkbcp (int nbc, float t,int *iflag,float values[])
User-supplied function to define boundary values that the solution of the differential equation must satisfy. There are nlbcd conditions specified at the left end, 
, and nrbcd conditions at the right end, 
. The boundary conditions are
int nbc (Input)
Number of boundary conditions. At xmin, nbc=nlbcd, at xmax, nbc = nrbcd.
float t (Input)
Time point of the boundary conditions.
int *iflag (Input/Output)
On entry, iflag indicates whether the coefficients for the left or right boundary conditions are to be computed:
|
iflag |
Computed boundary conditions |
|
1 |
Left end, x = xmin |
|
0 |
Right end, x = xmax |
If there is no time dependence for one of the boundaries then set iflag = 0 after the array values is defined for either end point. This flag can avoid unneeded continued computation of the finite element matrices.

The representation for the initial data at t = 0 is
The (ntgrid + 1) by (3 * nxgrid) matrix

at time point t=0,tgrid[i-1], i=1,…,ntgrid.

are represented piece-wise and can be found in Hanson, R. (2008) Integrating Feynman-Kac Equations Using Hermite Quintic Finite Elements.

at time point t=tgrid[i-1], i=1,…,ntgrid, and row 0 for the partials at t=0.

Description
The generalized Feynman-Kac differential equation has the form
where the initial data satisfies 
. The derivatives are
The function imsl_f_feynman_kac uses a finite element Galerkin method over the rectangle
in 
to compute the approximate solution. The interval 
is decomposed with a grid
On each subinterval the solution is represented by
The values
are time-dependent coefficients associated with each interval. The basis functions 
are given for
by
The Galerkin principle is then applied. Using the provided initial and boundary conditions leads to an Index 1 differential-algebraic equation for the time-dependent coefficients
This system is integrated using the variable order, variable step algorithm DDASLX/SDASLX noted in Hanson and Krogh, R. (2008) Solving Constrained Differential-Algebraic Systems Using Projections. Solution values and their time derivatives are returned at a grid preceding time T, expressed in units of time remaining. For further details of deriving and solving the system see Hanson, R. (2008) Integrating Feynman-Kac Equations Using Hermite Quintic Finite Elements. To evaluate f or its partial derivatives at any time point in the grid, use the function imsl_f_feynman_kac_evaluate.
Examples
Example 1
The value of the American Option on a Vanilla Put can be no smaller than its European counterpart. That is due to the American Option providing the opportunity to exercise at any time prior to expiration. This example compares this difference – or premium value of the American Option – at two time values using the Black-Scholes model. The example is based on Wilmott et al. (1996, p. 176), and uses the non-linear forcing or weighting term described in Hanson, R. (2008), Integrating Feynman-Kac Equations Using Hermite Quintic Finite Elements, for evaluating the price of the American Option. The coefficients, payoff, boundary conditions and forcing term for American and European options are defined by the user functions fkcfiv_put, fkbcp_put and fkforce_put, respectively. One breakpoint is set exactly at the strike price.
The sets of parameters in the computation are:
| 1. | Strike price  . |
| 2. | Volatility  . |
| 3. | Times until expiration  . |
| 4. | Interest rate  . |
| 5. |  . |
| 6. |  . |
The payoff function is the “vanilla option”, 
.

Example 2
In Beckers (1980) there is a model for a Stochastic Differential Equation of option pricing. The idea is a “constant elasticity of variance diffusion (or CEV) class”
The Black-Scholes model is the limiting case 
. A numerical solution of this diffusion model yields the price of a call option. Various values of the strike price 
, time values, 
and power coefficient 
are used to evaluate the option price at values of the underlying price. The sets of parameters in the computation are:
| 1. | power  . |
| 2. | strike price  . |
| 3. | volatility  . |
| 4. | times until expiration  . |
| 5. | underlying prices  . |
| 6. | interest rate  . |
| 7. |  . |
| 8. |  . |
With this model the Feynman-Kac differential equation is defined by identifying:
The payoff function is the “vanilla option”, 
.

Example 3
This example evaluates the price of a European Option using two payoff strategies: Cash-or-Nothing and Vertical Spread. In the first case the payoff function is
The value B is regarded as the bet on the asset price, see Wilmott et al. (1995, p. 39-40). The second case has the payoff function
Both problems use the same boundary conditions. Each case requires a separate integration of the Black-Scholes differential equation, but only the payoff function evaluation differs in each case. The sets of parameters in the computation are:
| 1. | Strike and bet prices K1={10.0}, K2 = {15.0}, and B = {2.0}. |
| 2. | Volatility σ= {0.4}. |

| 4. | Interest rate r = 0.1. |

Example 4
This example evaluates the price of a convertible bond. Here, convertibility means that the bond may, at any time of the holder’s choosing, be converted to a multiple of the specified asset. Thus a convertible bond with price 
returns an amount 
at time 
unless the owner has converted the bond to 
units of the asset at some time prior to 
. This definition, the differential equation and boundary conditions are given in Chapter 18 of Wilmott et al. (1996). Using a constant interest rate and volatility factor, the parameters and boundary conditions are:
| 1. | Bond face value  , conversion factor  |
| 2. | Volatility  |
| 3. | Times until expiration  |
| 4. | Interest rate  , dividend  |
| 5. | 
|
| 6. | 
|
| 7. | Boundary conditions  |
| 8. | Terminal data  |
| 9. | Constraint for bond holder  |
Note that the error tolerance is set to a pure absolute error of value 
. The free boundary constraint 
is achieved by use of a non-linear forcing term in the function fkforce_cbond. The terminal conditions are provided with the user function fkinit_cbond.
