We introduce a multiple curve LIBOR framework that combines tractable dynamics and semi-analytic pricing formulas with positive interest rates and basis spreads. The dynamics of OIS and LIBOR rates are specified following the methodology of the affine LIBOR models and are driven by the wide and...

The LIBOR market model is very popular for pricing interest rate derivatives, but is known to have several pitfalls. In addition, if the model is driven by a jump process, then the complexity of the drift term is growing exponentially fast (as a function of the tenor length). In this work, we...

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of optimal and surely optimal dual martingales in the context of dual valuation of Bermudan options, and outline the development of new algorithms in this context. We provide a characterization theorem, a theorem which gives conditions for a...

In this paper, we study the dual representation for generalized multiple stopping problems, hence the pricing problem of general multiple exercise options. We derive a dual representation which allows for cashflows which are subject to volume constraints modeled by integer valued adapted...

<title>Abstract</title> In this paper we consider the valuation of Bermudan callable derivatives with multiple exercise rights. We present in this context a new primal--dual <italic>linear</italic> Monte Carlo algorithm that allows for efficient simulation of the lower and upper price bounds without using nested simulations...

In this paper we consider the optimal stopping problem for general dynamic monetary utility functionals. Sufficient conditions for the Bellman principle and the existence of optimal stopping times are provided. Particular attention is payed to representations which allow for a numerical...

Kolodko and Schoenmakers (2006) and Bender and Schoenmakers (2006) introduced a policy iteration that allows the achievement of a tight lower approximations of the price for early exercise options via a nested Monte Carlo simulation in a Markovian setting. In this paper we enhance the algorithm...
