Discretization of the Dirac delta function for application in option pricing

This paper compares two different approximations of the Dirac deltafunction used in a Fokker-Planck equation. Both methods deal with the singularity problem in the initial condition. The Dirac delta approximation, constructed in MATLAB with a method derived by Tornberg and Engquist, was compared to...
