Solutions to a partial integro-differential parabolic system arising in the pricing of financial options in regime-switching jump diffusion models

Ionut Florescu, Ruihua Liu, Maria Cristina Mariani

Abstract:
We study a complex system of partial integro-differential equations (PIDE) of parabolic type modeling the option pricing problem in a regime-switching jump diffusion model. Under suitable conditions, we prove the existence of solutions of the PIDE system in a general domain by using the method of upper and lower solutions.
