We study the behavior of the critical price of an American put option near maturity in the jump diffusion model when the underlying stock pays dividends at a continuous rate and the limit of the critical price is smaller than the stock price. In particular, we prove that, unlike the case where the limit is equal to the strike price, jumps can influence the convergence rate.

An alternative technique for the geometric test of machining centres was developed, to congregate metrological reliability with operational and economical advantages, when comparing to methods classically used for such task. A touch probe is used on a 3-axis vertical machine center to check against artifacts calibrated on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). By comparing the results obtained f...
