Abstract
This work is devoted to the study of the valuation problem for a two-barrier option where the stock price is modeled by a Lévy process whose characteristic function is rational (hyper-exponential jump diffusion (HEJD) case). In a standard way, this problem is reduced to a convolution equation on a finite interval, which is solved explicitly using the modified Wiener–Hopf method. On the basis of the obtained explicit formulas, an algorithm for calculating the price of the option under consideration is developed and numerically implemented. On the other hand, with the help of the theory of generalized Toeplitz operators, theorems are proved about the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the original convolution equation and whether it belongs to a certain natural class of functions associated with the Sobolev spaces.
