Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new method for spread option pricing under the multivariate irreducible diffusions without jumps and with different types of jumps by the expansion of the transition density function. By the quasi-Lamperti transform, which unitizes the diffusion matrix at the initial time, and applying the small-time Itô-Taylor expansion method, we derive explicit recursive formulas for the expansion coefficients of transition densities and spread option prices for multivariate diffusions with jumps in return. It is worth mentioning that we also give the closed-form formula of spread option price whose underlying asset price processes contain a Merton jump and a double exponential jump, which is innovative compared with current literature. The theoretical proof of convergence is presented in detail.
