We present a new approach to pricing American-style derivatives that is applicable to any Markovian setting (i.e., not limited to geometric Brownian motion) for which European cal...

Financial options whose payoff depends critically on historical prices are called pathdependent options. Their prices are usually harder to calculate than options whose prices do ...
This paper presents a new approach to pricing Americanstyle derivatives. By approximating the value function with a piecewise linear interpolation function, the option holder'...

Here we develop an option pricing method for European options based on the Fourier-cosine series, and call it the COS method. The key insight is in the close relation of the charac...
— With the principal goal of developing an alternative, relatively simple and tractable pricing framework for accurately reproducing a market implied volatility surface, this pap...
