An exact and explicit solution for the valuation of American put options

SP Zhu - Quantitative Finance, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper, an exact and explicit solution of the well-known Black–Scholes equation for the
valuation of American put options is presented for the first time. To the best of the author's …

Nonlinear 2D analysis of the efficiency of fixed oscillating water column wave energy converters

Y Luo, JR Nader, P Cooper, SP Zhu - Renewable energy, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper reports on the development of a two-dimensional, fully nonlinear Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to analyse the efficiency of fixed Oscillating Water Column (…

A closed‐form exact solution for pricing variance swaps with stochastic volatility

SP Zhu, GH Lian - Mathematical Finance: An International …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we present a highly efficient approach to price variance swaps with discrete
sampling times. We have found a closed‐form exact solution for the partial differential equation …

Modelling the shear behaviour of rock joints with asperity damage under constant normal stiffness

…, S Thirukumaran, ET Brown, SP Zhu - Rock Mechanics and Rock …, 2015 - Springer
The shear behaviour of a rough rock joint depends largely on the surface properties of the
joint, as well as the boundary conditions applied across the joint interface. This paper …

An analytical formula for VIX futures and its applications

SP Zhu, GH Lian - Journal of Futures Markets, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In this study we present a closed‐form, exact solution for the pricing of VIX futures in a stochastic
volatility model with simultaneous jumps in both the asset price and volatility processes. …

[HTML][HTML] Analytically pricing double barrier options based on a time-fractional Black–Scholes equation

W Chen, X Xu, SP Zhu - Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 2015 - Elsevier
This paper investigates the pricing of double barrier options when the price change of the
underlying is considered as a fractal transmission system. In this scenario, the option price is …

A finite-element study of the efficiency of arrays of oscillating water column wave energy converters

JR Nader, SP Zhu, P Cooper, B Stappenbelt - Ocean Engineering, 2012 - Elsevier
Prior research on wave energy devices such as Oscillating Water Column (OWC) systems has
revealed the complex nature of the interactions between ocean waves and these systems. …

[HTML][HTML] A predictor–corrector scheme based on the ADI method for pricing American puts with stochastic volatility

SP Zhu, WT Chen - Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper, we introduce a new numerical scheme, based on the ADI (alternating direction
implicit) method, to price American put options with a stochastic volatility model. Upon …

A new analytical approximation formula for the optimal exercise boundary of American put options

SP Zhu - International Journal of Theoretical and Applied …, 2006 - World Scientific
In this paper, a new analytical formula as an approximation to the value of American put options
and their optimal exercise boundary is presented. A transform is first introduced to better …

Application of CFD in ship engineering design practice and ship hydrodynamics

Z Zhang, L Hui, S Zhu, Z Feng - Journal of Hydrodynamics, Ser. B, 2006 - Elsevier
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has progressed rapidly in the past fifty years. It has
been used in many industrial fields and plays an irreplaceable role in engineering design and …
