This paper provides a survey of recent numerical methods for pricing derivative securities. Methods for standard American options on a single underlying asset, barrier and lookback options and options on multiple assets are reviewed. Criteria for comparison of different approaches are discussed....

We provide a simple binomial framework to value American-style derivatives subject to trading restrictions. The optimal …

We propose a Markov chain method for pricing discretely monitored barrier options in both the constant and time-varying volatility valuation frameworks. The method uses a time homogeneous Markov Chain to approximate the underlying asset price process. Our approach provides a natural framework...

This paper examines the valuation of European- and American-style volatility options based on a general equilibrium stochastic volatility framework. Properties of the optimal exercise region and of the option price are provided when volatility follows a general diffusion process. Explicit...

We provide a comprehensive treatment of option pricing with particular emphasis on the valuation of American options on dividend-paying essets. We begin by reviewing valuation principles for European contingent claims in a financial market in which the underlying asset price follows an Itô...

The paper investigates a two-factor affine model for the credit spreads on corporate bonds. The first factor can be interpreted as the level of the spread, and the second factor is the volatility of the spread. The riskless interest rate is modeled using a standard two-factor affine model, thus...
