13.4.1 Aggregated Black-Scholes Models
In the following, a full-rank Black-Scholes model and low-rank Black-Scholes
model are introduced. Option pricing under the low-rank Black-Scholes model
leads to lower dimensional PDEs compared to the full rank Black-Scholes model,
introducing an additional error due to the rank reduction.
