High frequency data are becoming increasingly popular these days. They are fundamental in basically every facet of people’s lives. They are the determining factors in hedging in the field of finance. In geology, they help in the accurate prediction of earthquakes’ magnitude which goes along way to help save lives and properties.
High frequency data are also used more and more frequently for speculations. For this reason, it is important not only for scientists to apply models allowing correct quantification of these data, but also to improve the eciency of these models.
The Black-Scholes model, which is widely used because …

In this work we will present a self-contained introduction to the option pricing problem. We will introduce some basic ideas from the probability theory and stochastic differential equations. Later we will move to the partial differential equations since the option pricing problem arising in financial mathematics when asset is driven by a stochastic volatility process and assumed presence of transaction cost leads to solving non-linear partial dif- ferential equation. We will also present the complete process from deriving the desired partial differential equation to the proof of existence of a solution and also the numerical simulations. Using techniques form stochastic …
