Abstract

The G-expectation is a sublinear expectation. It is an important tool for pricing financial products and managing risk thanks to its ability to deal with model uncertainty. The problem is how to efficiently quantify it since the commonly used Monte Carlo method does not work. Fortunately, the expectation of a G-normal random variable can be linked to the viscosity solution of a fully nonlinear G-heat equation. In this paper, we propose a novel numerical scheme for the two-dimensional G-heat equation and pay more attention to the case that there exists uncertainty on the correlationship, especially to the case that the correlationship ranges from negative to positive. The scheme is monotonic, stable, and convergent. The numerical tests show that the scheme is highly efficient.
