We investigate in this paper a perpetual prepayment option related to a corporate loan. The short interest rate and default intensity of the firm are supposed to follow Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) processes. A liquidity term that represents the funding costs of the bank is introduced and...

In this work we improve the algorithm of Han and Wu [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 41 (2003), 2081–2095] for American Options with respect to stability, accuracy and order of computational effort. We derive an exact discrete artificial boundary condition (ABC) for the Crank–Nicolson scheme for...

We investigate in this paper a perpetual prepayment option related to a corporate loan. The short interest rate and default intensity of the firm are supposed to follow CIR processes. A liquidity term that represents the funding costs of the bank is introduced and modeled as a continuous time...
