An Alternative Numerical Scheme to Approximate the Early Exercise Boundary of American Options

This paper deals with a new numerical method for the approximation of the early exercise boundary in the American option pricing problem. In more detail, using the mean-value theorem for integrals, we provide a flexible algorithm that allows for reaching a more accurate numerical solution with fewer...

Description
Summary:This paper deals with a new numerical method for the approximation of the early exercise boundary in the American option pricing problem. In more detail, using the mean-value theorem for integrals, we provide a flexible algorithm that allows for reaching a more accurate numerical solution with fewer calculations rather than other previously described methods.
