Optimal exercise boundary for an American put option
The optimal exercise boundary near the expiration time is determined for an American put option. It is obtained by using Green's theorem to convert the boundary value problem for the price of the option into an integral equation for the optimal exercise boundary. This integral equation is solved asymptotically for small values of the time to expiration. The leading term in the asymptotic soluti...
متن کاملOn the Optimal Exercise Boundary for an American Put Option
An American put option is a derivative financial instrument that gives its holder the right but not the obligation to sell an underlying security at a pre-determined price. American options may be exercised at any time prior to expiry at the discretion of the holder, and the decision as to whether or not to exercise leads to a free boundary problem. In this paper, we examine the behavior of the...
متن کاملA Simple Numerical Method for Pricing an American Put Option
We present a simple numerical method to find the optimal exercise boundary in an American put option. We formulate an intermediate function with the fixed free boundary that has Lipschitz character near optimal exercise boundary. Employing it, we can easily determine the optimal exercise boundary by solving a quadratic equation in time-recursive way. We also present several numerical results wh...
متن کاملValuing American Put Options Using Chebyshev Polynomial Approximation
This pa per suggests a simple valuation method based on Chebyshev approximation at Chebyshev nodes to value American put options. It is similar to the approach taken in Sullivan (2000), where the option`s continuation region function is estimated by using a Chebyshev polynomial. However, in contrast to Sullivan (2000), the functional is fitted by using Chebyshev nodes. The suggested method is f...
متن کاملRemarks on the Perpetual American Put Option for Jump Diffusions ∗ †
We prove that the perpetual American put option price of an exponential Lévy process whose jumps come from a compound Poisson process is the classical solution of its associated quasi-variational inequality, that it is C except at the stopping boundary and that it is C everywhere (i.e. the smooth pasting condition always holds). We prove this fact by constructing a sequence of functions, each o...
