Question:

Formulate the following barrier option pricing problems as partial differential equations with suitable boundary and final conditions:

(a) The option has barriers at levels Su and Sd, above and below the initial asset price, respectively. If the asset touches both barriers before expiry, then the option has payoff max(S − E, 0). Otherwise the option does not pay out.

(b) The option has barriers at levels Su and Sd, above and below the initial asset price, respectively. If the asset price first rises to Su and then falls to Sd before expiry, then the option pays out $1 at expiry.
