Cross-currency options: a probability density approach

We investigate in this work the numerical computation of cross-currency FOREX options. The
value of the options are computed through a 2D Black&Scholes equation. The independent
variables are the quotation of each currency in the pair with respect to a third, base,
currency.
Among the possible representation of the price we choose to work with the risk-neutral
probability density in the spirit of previous works by O. Pironneau and collaborators. This
enables to computes in a single 2D-PDE solve a full set of prices.
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the numerical and theoretical aspects of this
procedure.
