Abstract:
      A novel option pricing method based on Fourier-cosine series expansion was proposed by Fang and Oosterlee. Developing their idea, three new option pricing methods based on Fourier, Fourier-cosine and Fourier-sine series expansions are presented in this paper, which are more efficient when the option prices are calculated with many strike prices. A series of numerical experiments under different exp-L\'evy models are also given to compare these new methods with the Fang and Oosterlee's method and other methods.
