Solutions to integro-differential parabolic problems arising in the pricing of financial options in a Levy market

Ionut Florescu, Maria Cristina Mariani

Abstract:
We study an integro-differential parabolic problem modelling a process with jumps and stochastic volatility in financial mathematics. Under suitable conditions, we prove the existence of solutions in a general domain using the method of upper and lower solutions and a diagonal argument.
