Use a finite difference scheme to form estimates of present values for a variety
of stock prices. Once the grid has been created, interpolate to obtain the
value of each instrument at the present stock price S0

)An initial stock price, for setting grid scale
Minimum number of time steps in the grid
A list of instruments to be priced. Each
one must have a strike and a optionality_fcn, as
with GridPricedInstrument and its subclasses.
A constant to use for volatility in case variance_cumulation_fcn
is not given
A constant to use for the instantaneous interest rate in case discount_factor_fcn
is not given
A constant to use for the instantaneous default intensity in case default_intensity_fcn
is not given
A different maximum time on the grid to enforce
A function for computing present values to
time t of various cashflows occurring during this timestep, with
arguments T, t
A function for computing default intensity
occurring during this timestep, dependent on time and stock price, with
arguments t, S.
A function for computing total stock variance
occurring during this timestep, with arguments T, t. E.g. with
a constant volatility \(s\) this takes the form \((T-t)s^2\).
A data.frame with columns time, fixed,
and proportional. Dividend size at the given time is
then expected to be equal to fixed + proportional * S / S0
Stock borrow cost, affecting the drift rate
Continuous dividend rate, affecting the drift rate
The maximum ratio between time intervals dt
and the square of space intervals dz^2
The number of standard deviations, in sigma * sqrt(T)
units, to incorporate into the grid
A list of present values, with the same names as instruments
