Abstract

In this chapter, we carry out a numerical investigation of the model introduced in Chap. 3. The processes and functions appearing in the pricing FBSDE will be chosen so that they model the features of the UK energy market. Their parameters will be estimated using real data. Following this, the pricing FBSDE will be solved numerically, along with a regularized version of the pricing FBSDE. We finally interpret the numerical results.
