A new predictor-corrector scheme for valuing American puts

TL;DR: The results of the numerical examples suggest that the proposed predictor–corrector finite difference scheme can be used as an accurate and efficient method even for pricing other types of financial derivative with American-style exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights on testing the efficiency of methods of pricing and hedging American options

TL;DR: A comparison of the best methods (lattice based numerical methods and an approximation of the American Premium analytical procedure) known in literature are provided along with some key methodological remarks.

Finite Difference Method for the Black–Scholes Equation Without Boundary Conditions

TL;DR: An accurate and efficient finite difference method for solving the Black–Scholes (BS) equation without boundary conditions which does not use a far-field boundary condition to solve the BS equation numerically.
Journal ArticleDOI

A computational method to price with transaction costs under the nonlinear Black–Scholes model

TL;DR: An implicit time–stepping method is applied with quadratical accuracy to price a nonlinear volatility model that leads to sparse matrices of second order of convergence after a special semi–discretization.
Journal ArticleDOI

A general continuous time Markov chain approximation for multi-asset option pricing with systems of correlated diffusions

TL;DR: A general methodology for modeling and pricing financial derivatives which depend on systems of stochastic diffusion processes is developed with a general decorrelation procedure, which enables simple and efficient approximation of the driving processes by univariate CTMC approximations.
