Abstract. We show how computations such as those involved in American or European-style option price valuations with the explicit finite difference method can be performed in par...
In this paper we present an algorithm for simulating functions of the minimum and terminal value for a random walk with Gaussian increments. These expectations arise in connection...
Abstract A time-dependent double-barrier option is a derivative security that delivers the terminal value φ(ST ) at expiry T if neither of the continuous time-dependent barriers b...
The theoretical price of a financial option is given by the expectation of its discounted expiry time payoff. The computation of this expectation depends on the density of the val...
In this paper, we consider equity-linked life insurance contracts that give their holder the possibility to surrender their policy before maturity. Such contracts can be valued us...
