Here, two highly experienced authors present an alternative approach to optimal stopping problems. The basic ideas and techniques of the approach can be explained much simpler than the standard methods in the literature on optimal stopping problems. The monograph will teach the reader to apply...

We analyze and compare the performance of the Fourier transform method in affine and quadratic term structure models. We explain why the method of the reduction to FFT in dimension 1 is efficient for ATSMs of type A0(n), but may lead to sizable errors for QTSMs unless computational errors are...

We calculate prices of first touch digitals under normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) processes, and compare them to prices in the Brownian model and double exponential jump-diffusion model. Numerical results are produced to show that for typical parameters values, the relative error of the Brownian...
