We propose an efficient method to evaluate callable and putable bonds under a wide class of interest rate models, including the popular short rate diffusion models, as well as their time changed versions with jumps. The method is based on the eigenfunction expansion of the pricing operator....

This paper proposes a new approach to solve finite-horizon optimal stopping problems for a class of Markov processes that includes one-dimensional diffusions, birth-and-death (BD) processes, and jump-diffusions and continuous-time Markov chains obtained by time changing diffusions and BD...

This paper studies subordinate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes, i.e., OU diffusions time changed by L´evy subordinators. We construct their sample path decomposition, show that they possess mean-reverting jumps, study their equivalent measure transformations, and the spectral representation...

We develop an eigenfunction expansion based value iteration algorithm to solve discrete time infinite horizon optimal stopping problems for a rich class of Markov processes that are important in applications. We provide convergence analysis for the value function and the exercise boundary, and...
