Analysis of the optimal exercise boundary of American put options with delivery lags
A make-your-mind-up option is an American derivative with delivery lags. We show that its put option can be decomposed as a European put and a new type of American-style derivative. The latter is an option for which the investor receives the Greek Theta of the corresponding European option as the running payoff, and decides an optimal stopping time to terminate the contract. Based on this decomposition and using free boundary techniques, we show that the associated optimal exercise boundary exists and is a strictly increasing and smooth curve, and analyze the asymptotic behavior of the value function and the optimal exercise boundary for both large maturity and small time lag.

On American VIX options under the generalized 3/2 and 1/2 models
In this paper, we extend the 3/2-model for VIX studied by Goard and Mazur (2013) and introduce the generalized 3/2 and 1/2 classes of volatility processes. Under these models, we study the pricing of European and America…
An Adaptive and Explicit Fourth Order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Method Coupled with Compact Finite Differencing for Pricing American Put Options
We propose an adaptive and explicit fourth-order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method coupled with a fourth-order compact scheme to solve the American put options problem. First, the free boundary problem is converted into a syst…
The American put with finite-time maturity and stochastic interest rate
In this paper we study pricing of American put options on the Black and Scholes market with a stochastic interest rate and finite-time maturity. We prove that the option value is a $C^1$ function of the initial time, int…
Hermite Polynomial-based Valuation of American Options with General Jump-Diffusion Processes
We present a new approximation scheme for the price and exercise policy of American options. The scheme is based on Hermite polynomial expansions of the transition density of the underlying asset dynamics and the early e…
American Exchange option driven by a Lévy process
We consider the problem of pricing American Exchange options driven by a L\'evy process. We study the properties of American Exchange options, we represented it as the sum of the price of the corresponding European excha…
