Optimal Delaunay and Voronoi quantization schemes for pricing American style options
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review in this article pure quantization methods for the pricing of multiple exercise options. These quantization methods have the common advantage, that they allow a straightforward implementation of the Backward Dynamic Programming Principle for optimal stopping and stochastic control problems. Moreover we present here for the first time a unified discussion of this topic for Voronoi and Delaunay quantization and illustrate the performances of both methods by several numerical examples.

A Numerical Procedure for Pricing American-style Asian Options
Pricing Asian options based on the arithmetic average, under the Black and Scholes model, involves estimating an integral (a mathematical expectation) for which no analytical solution is available. Pricing their American-style counterparts, which provide early exercise opportunities, poses the additional difficulty of solving a dynamic optimization problem to determine the optimal exercise stra...
متن کاملAmerican Option Pricing of Future Contracts in an Effort to Investigate Trading Strategies; Evidence from North Sea Oil Exchange
In this paper, Black Scholes’s pricing model was developed to study American option on future contracts of Brent oil. The practical tests of the model show that market priced option contracts as future contracts less than what model did, which mostly represent option contracts with price rather than without price. Moreover, it suggests call option rather than put option. Using t hypothesis test...
متن کاملA new approach to using the cubic B-spline functions to solve the Black-Scholes equation
Nowadays, options are common financial derivatives. For this reason, by increase of applications for these financial derivatives, the problem of options pricing is one of the most important economic issues. With the development of stochastic models, the need for randomly computational methods caused the generation of a new field called financial engineering. In the financial engineering the pre...
متن کاملIntrinsic Stationarity for Vector Quantization: Foundation of Dual Quantization
We develop a new approach to vector quantization, which guarantees an intrinsic stationarity property that also holds, in contrast to regular quantization, for non-optimal quantization grids. This goal is achieved by replacing the usual nearest neighbor projection operator for Voronoi quantization by a random splitting operator, which maps the random source to the vertices of a triangle of d-si...
متن کاملGPGPUs in computational finance: massive parallel computing for American style options
The pricing of American style and multiple exercise options is a very challenging problem in mathematical finance. One usually employs a Least-Square Monte Carlo approach (Longstaff-Schwartz method) for the evaluation of conditional expectations which arise in the Backward Dynamic Programming principle for such optimal stopping or stochastic control problems in a Markovian framework. Unfortunat...
